Hrmm, I hear the A-Frame is built, forgot what they had to do it now to put it in the lake. Oh yeah, I hear it's being put in the cable lake now.

Yeah, they keep on changing it back and forth, but that's what I heard from Potter last. Hopefully this rumor is true =P

The rumor I DON'T like is that the night riding will probably be for only team riders. If so I guess I just have to step it up on the wakeskate and try to get on the team Wink

then whats the point in spending all extra cash on lights and stuff if only team members can do it at night? wouldnt they want to make money off of it as well and let anyone do it? Docksecret, do you ride boat at all, or just straight cable?

DockSecret · Addict Joined: 14 Mar 2003 Posts: 756 City: Austin, TX

Well, I think the problem w/ the lights is the insurance. I'm in the same situation like you and hav been straight cable, but it's so great for wakeskating Smile

. I'll start using my wakeboard more once I go behind a boat though.

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

well ya, thats a good point......ya, plus the cable helps your edging alot as well if your going to go behind boat too, how fast does TSR pull ya at?

Yeah, watching the guys ride at night was so sick, I was wishing I worked for TSR for that moment so I could ride Smile

. Josh Wright (sp?) landed his first switch S-bend off of tower 4(first time at tower 4, not first switch s) and it was his cleanest one I've seen him stuck. Kyle Reed stuck his first 180 off the slider on a wakeskate, and Matt Leitko was rocking his orange vest (Looked like the following link)

I forgot the range that the cable can pull you (up to 34 i think?), but they usually set it to 20.5 mph i believe. At the competition I guess you could ask for a certain speed, and I'm pretty sure people will ask for higher speeds so they can even fly higher Razz

sounds fun, i think Rixen is usually at 18, but im not sure, it seems slow sometimes, well they are building a skatepark right next to Rixen (Rixen is in a public park by the way) and thats going to be open till like 10 at night, and Rixen is open till 7, that would be awsome if we at the cable could have night riding,but the skatepark ,will probably attract alot of people to the cable

You should convince Rixen to open later =P There's still plenty of day light out after 7.

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

not really, not to much around the lake at like 7:30, you wouldnt be able to see, there is no lights around it like at TSR, its to dark if its any later then that

DockSecret · Addict Joined: 14 Mar 2003 Posts: 756 City: Austin, TX

The lights at TSR aren't up yet, but theres quite a bit of day light left till at least 8 i think.

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

o ok, ya we dont have alot of daylight past 7:30

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

so...hows that slider going up there??? is it in the water yet, got any pics?

DockSecret · Addict Joined: 14 Mar 2003 Posts: 756 City: Austin, TX

It's in there =) No pics yet, probably be some after this weekend

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

awsome, be sure to get some up on here, how is it, have ya hit it yet?

DockSecret · Addict Joined: 14 Mar 2003 Posts: 756 City: Austin, TX

I just left 30 minutes ago and they are putting up the final touches on it. They probably are testing it out this very minute though Razz

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

sounds good, how does it look? does it look good?

DockSecret · Addict Joined: 14 Mar 2003 Posts: 756 City: Austin, TX

It looks pretty good, nothing scary or anything I don't think. I'm pretty anxious to attempt it tomorrow Razz

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

good luck, tell us how it is, get some pics, if ya can Very Happy

I'll grab a disposable camera then (don't want my SLR to get in the water, left waterproof bag at home) and take some angles of it for you, plus the other kickers and that one slider. You want a pic of anything else?

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

sure, take pics of everything, if ya dont mind

DockSecret · Addict Joined: 14 Mar 2003 Posts: 756 City: Austin, TX

Anything else though? Razz

I mean, all the ramps, kickers, and sliders, what else would you want included?

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

thats it, i just want to see all the kickers and sliders you got out there

I forgot to take pictures, but the guys flying back into florida should have a copy. Brandon Thomas does a 270 off of the a-frame in the roll call section of the dvd. And can't forget Donald pulling off the double s-bend to blind, it was sicckkkkkk.

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

ok, koo, ill ask them if they have any....you must really like Brandon, you keep talking about him Wink

haha, yeah, i'm not fruity. Some fruit did flirt w/ Derrick Lenz though =P

But nah, I'm just partial to wakeskaters, cause I am one I suppose. He was a cool guy to get to know too.

x2xwakegurlx2x · Guest

lol, a guy came onto Derrick? lol........ya he is a cool guy, he has helped me out with a bunch of stuff on my wakeskate......mine broke 2 days ago though Sad

i snapped it doing an acid drop off of the high part of the dock, i kept landing right in the same spot though, thats why, plus its just a little old and messed up already
