towing sliders

I just saw on the bump films promo video 'Snap', Scott Byerly hitting a rail being towed behind a boat. Has anyone else tried this, it looked like an interesting alternative to a stationary slider, is this the way in which things are heading? What do you reckon Idea

Hey SOX, Buy the new edition of current video magazine. It is issue #1 and the name is "No drugs No swearing No wrestling" It is a pretty dumb title but the riding is sick. The intro has a bunch of shots of shawn watson, Chad sharpe, and Parks bonifay hitting a towable slider. In fact in one shot they are riding triple behind the boat and they all cut in one after the other and hit the slider. It is awesome.

cheers wsb, current video magazine have they got a website? I dont know if they sell that mag over here. Does anyone manufacture these things or are they pretty much homemade?

Sox they do have a website. It is http://www.currentvideomagazine.com
Make sure if you order it that you get issue #1. By the way its a movie (wasn't sure if you knew that because you said we don't get that mag over here). As far as if anyone manufatures them I don't think so. They are mostly just made out of pipes and tubes. Hope that helped.

thanx wcb, do you reakon someone will catch on and start manufacturing some sorta towable slider there seems to be a bit of a market for them. I found a pic on the TWC wewbsite that wakegurl refered me to its in the photo gallery. A guy called Patrick I thinks hiting a park bench thats sitting on a tube it looks pretty crazy, it seems like everyones trying to skate on water.

thats a sweet idea, but if you fell, that would be really bad
