How would this work? Do you just do stalls on it? It is moving at the same speed as you. _________________ Zach |

Zcaithaca, you put the slider sideways, and approach it as you were to jump the wake and hit the slider insted _________________ why do lakes have to freeze? |

i think it was on this site that i saw a video clip of somebody hitting a slider that was two tubes sitting on the water with a surf board upside down on top. it was set up to be stationary but if you tied it down solid it might work, but any way you do it thats alot of drag on you boat and seems like a really good chance you f yourself. but hey if you do it post up a clip or pictures. |

ive also seen on the Truth where they were pulling a tube with 55 gal barrel and tapping it with their board on w2w jumps. That would be awesome to have but youd have to have insane board control to do it right |

They did one in Pull as well. They used a great big mable tube and straped a picnic table to it. Looks like a ton of fun but I'd probably get broken on it. I'll stick to stationary sliders. _________________ In Ohio the water sucks no matter what. It's the good ones who suck it up and just go to ride. |

Has Anyone seen Billabong's new video "Out of the pond"?
They strap a slider to the tower of a Seadoo Boat (No prop no chop) and he trails behind the tow-boats wake and............. its just plain Bubb Rubbing INSANE! I suggest you buy that video. |
