Anybody have pics or can describe their tow-able slider set-up?? I'm building one now, 2 tubes, PVC over the top the width of the wake, 2x4s in the PVC, tow rope on each tube.. Will it work??

"Sparky Jay" Has one on here. He'll probably pop his head in this thread and give ya some more information.

There is a towable slider in Counterfeit This. Its only shown in one scene when Harf hits it. Its not very large at all, but I think its a great idea.

It would be pretty hard to build a 100' towable slider <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Ya, it would...who said any thing about a 100' slider??

Kevbo- Dont you know that Aden rides at 100 ft! Aden I see you have still become none wiser.

That's what I'm talk'n bout!!

Towable slider we built in Montana in 2004. Same concept as above... two large tubes, plywood discs, and 2x4's to connect the two. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/367733.jpg" alt="Upload">

Jason, mines actually a floating kicker. But I'm thinking about making it into a slider.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> Isler...nice job! That's plain sick!

Soooooooo sick!!! C'mon, you gota post some pics of you sliding that!! i'll post mine when i'm done, but I think i need to start over after seeing then kink action. Do you have to collapse it when your done?

Kev - How can I help? That looks like fun.

whoopps. i thought he ment a transportable slider <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> *im an idiot* haha

Jason, lets see it! Tim, I need to make some changes, I'll let you know.

Kevbo.. im sure Sparky will post some pics. Its not a tube to tube slider but its pretty sweet looking. Built on a smaller boat and towable to where ever you wanna put it.

I'll give you a hand Kev. I could use some time working somewhere other than "Geek City."

I've been working on drawing up a design myself, was even figuring out away to use a quick release device so you would not get run over if you went off the front. Love to collaberate with you guys on this if you do build one.

those are awesome

sparky - once you tow that thing out there, how do you anchor it?

Matt, I have three cement anchors each with 100 feet of rope, I hang two off the transom hooks and one off the front hook and it stays put. It's for sale by the way.

Hey Mike or Dave, How long of a rope do you use? Have you ever fallen off the front and got hit by the slider? Have the water cops ever had a problem with it towing a slider??

its legal to use a floating slider as long as you take it down each day, falls under the same terms as anchoring your boat for the afternoon.

That's cool, what about my other questions??

Kevbo - as far as rope length, it depends on the width of the slider. You want to adjust the rope longer or shorter to find the sweet spot, where the wake is the right width for the slider. Yeah, I saw a few riders get run over by it, going over the front. No injuries though... but definitely build it as carefully as possible. No exposed nails on the bottom or anything. No problem with the cops, as it was on a private lake.

Should work. Just need a 10' piece of TREX. Tim said he would try it first!!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/374870.jpg" alt="Upload"><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0>

Look's good kev, If I see you guy's out there I'll get some chase pic's for ya.

Kevin, <BR> <BR> I told you I'd help you put it together. ... <BR> <BR> ... Since you didn't take me up on the offer, do I still get to try it?

Ya, we'll get on it. I'm on a strict budget so the 10' $20 TREX is on hold. So far I'm in about $30 on this project.

Dude, buy the Trex...I'll cover the cost. So are we riding in the rain this week?
