Winching Shadow Cliffs

Chris Ollie-shuvits ( of www.wakeupfilms.com ) brought out his Rewind winch tonight. I ended up swimming out 500 feet to get enough room for this run.

(Didnt land it, tapped the tail and my board did a nose dive vvvv )

and btw, No busts this time.

Yeah it was very bitter sweet for me. I got to pull someone wakeskating in Shadow Cliffs, hit a spot I found, and we all got away with it. However I didn't get to ride because we got there late and it was almost dark by the time I could've gone. Oh well...the drive home was fun!!! Laughing

(haha Chris)

We should get all the wakeskaters in the area together at Shadow Cliffs, control the beach, and winch it! Cool

I'm surprised we didnt get busted. On the way out when we saw the park ranger with his roof lights on i figured he was going to come after us. we got lucky... the jr park ranger will have to be quicker next time.

The dock will be sick to hit!!!! We're probably going to have to go back on a week night after 5pm so that everyone is gone. you're winch attracts a lot of attention.. those girls we saw up on the hill were definitly checking us out because of it. i think they wanted a pull too.

My truck was at a half tank when i got home. I didnt know winch spot hunting could use up so much gas haha.

Last weekend between finding spots around here with Steven and in Tracy, I burned about a tank and 1/2. Over 200+miles. Winching is relatively the same as running a Sea Doo if you drive around that much.

I say we have the winch in my hitch and just back up to sesh the docks like you said after 5pm. RUSSIAN you should come out next time and get busted with us. Laughing

No worries guys, I worked 20 hours yesterday soooo. But if i see another winching thread on here that took place within a few miles of my house I'm going to start thinking you guys don't like me..... Laughing

I've got an inflateble boat we could set up for filming and shooting on these winching runs, or try to ollie it

Next sat you guys are both invited to hit the delta with me. possibly next thursday afternoon also Very Happy

an inflatable boat is an awesome idea. I can bring johns underwater bag (his works for most all SLRs). too. I can get off work on thurs @ four but i cant make it on saturday.

I can make it both days(as of now)!!!

I have an epic cam housing and a waterproof bag for my lil 3CCD cam, so that works too.
