Hey everyone, I was looking through the wakeskating.com forums and I saw this post. It seems to be some kind of winch that pulls wakeskaters. Anyone know anything about it? Heres the link. <a href="http://www.wakeskating.com/phorum/read.php?f=1&amp;i=6195&amp;t=4923" target="_blank">http://www.wakeskating.com/phorum/read.php?f=1&amp;i=6195&amp;t=4923</a>

check it out @ buttermag.com...go to videos and click on winch..... <BR> <BR>coolest thing ever

there was a really extensive post on it somewhere, I can't remember if it was in wakeskate forum or the wakeboard one. Defenitly worht checking out, it seems like an awesome idea.

I gonna cost about $400/$500. Cheaper than a boat. Perfect for ditch boarding.

What's a winch? And how does it work? <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by windnwake on September 06, 2003)

Looks like you could find an old riding lawn mower engine and use the throttle and the power take off switch (like a clutch to stop the line when the handle is getting close), and I would put a pulley wheel on the top and bottom of the cable to keep the cable properly seated. Looks like an awesome idea.
