orser506 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 It's called "tying a rope onto a snowmobile and getting someone to drive you around all day until your wrist is f#%ked" where I come from :lol::lol::lol: Done that years ago tight on the dirt road.. till DOT started salting and sanding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 As long as there is a motor running (i'm assuming), why not incorporate a groomer into the design. Continuous fresh corderoy! This is quite possibly the coolest idea since metal edges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokkis Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hey Pokkis. I only see one photo. Got more? This is more of what I had in mind. Take look 7 last pictures here: http://carving.grewu.org/gallery/ecsV/sunday/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
www.oldsnowboards.com Posted February 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Pokkis, what is pulling the cable? I see a poma to the side. This looks like it is out in the middle of a run? Very cool!! They are really carving hard. Tells me doing it on flat land would work good. Going up hill must be harder.

pokkis Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 They had not so big winch, almost like portable, there and that was pulling cable. Certainly it would work on flat land. Thing here was to carve up hill ;) Nils perhaps can tell more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kipstar Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 we have a cable ski wake park here near BKK< actually, there are several around. FOr wakeboarding it isn't bad, if a bit dull going round and round. coming from an alpine board, it is absolutely easy to ride around; if it was set up on snow with a much larger area, there is not reason why you couldn't ride around holding the handle like a wakeboard on nice smooth snow; it really would be more fun on a freestyle board, but with a nice long saggy cable, then it would work; I am not sure what speed we have the cable set at here, but I've ridden a monoski waterski there, and it is fairly easy. The corners are quite fun, you get some decent G force around them. Just needs a bit of ingenuity, a tractor engine and a nice long cable hanging down, then you could sell rides to people. Would get a bit chewed up, but prboably not bad for the midwest/Packers fans types who live in flatlands and have nothing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
