you have to throw your weight into it a little when you are driving.
We used one for wakeboarding in the surf once. It worked like a charm. Much better for hangtime.

i think it would work well for like sliders and stuff were it would be helpful to have a higher tow point

Hey Kyle, I saw those at the show in Pleasonton a while back. To me it looks like the driver would slam their head into that thing when "throwing their weight into it," or being pulled from side to side. Have you also heard of this happening?

yeah, I have actually. The one at the show is the same one in the photos. I think that one was one of the fist ones they did, maybe? I think it also depends on the ski too. It might mount a little more forward on some skis?? You don't really need to throw your weight too much though....more like lean into the riders pull a bit is all.

what happens when you are getting crazy trying to knock the person off of the back seat and you fall of also and ge your leg intertwined on the tower.

Your leg might snap and you would probably get some nice shinners. Shocked

I've seen those waverunner's with towers at a few comps.

What would you use those for other than slider's?

I think its more of a marketing ploy than a practical use. Some people own PWCs and love to wakeboard, but cant afford a boat. More directed to those people maybe?
