i plan to get a winch in the near future, im just wondering if grinch is the only comany making them right now, and what you think of them, ive never ridden behind one and if they are as cool as they look they would be worth their weight in gold, because i have a dozen gaps that are screaming to be hit up, and has anyone used them for urban snowboarding, no more pushing my friends or draggin around a roll in
thanks lemme know

avenged_04, a few people have talked about taking them to the snow but i havent heard or seen any one actually do it yet. you'd think all of the snowskaters and snowboarders who live in the plains would be all over winching during the winter.

Pulldozer also makes a winch http://myspace.com/pulldozer . He used to make them for Hypoxic but went his own way and has improved on them since he went solo. There is also a winch called the Hive. its not for everyone though.. its like 10 grand.. its basicly a competiton winch, but i hear its really sick.
