Frye- Mates Of State "I Got This Feelin'"

kyle13- We were only able to use it once so far, I was saying before it floated very good but we couldn't get it to anchor properly that's why we had to put it in such shallow water. We put six eyelet hooks on each side of the box, the plan was to drive five foot lengths of 1/2" gas pipe through the eyelet hooks to sink it down a little bit to make sure it wouldn't rock back and forth, but the sand was too soft and the gas pipe wouldn't hold. Anyway if you plan to use plastic drums to make it float I would suggest pinning it in with 4x4's or something. We are gonna try some different things in deeper water next time so I'll keep you posted.

Sweet video man. I've always wanted to try something like that, but that was always on a wakeboard. Now that I'm more into wakeskating it seems more reasonable. We're going to try a ditch along the side of the road next week, i'll try and post footage. Loving the pics and videos, thats what wakeskating is all about.

me and some freinds did the same thing except we didnt have any good rails to hit we mostly just messed around.. or i did while they drove the 4wheeler cuz non of them can wakeboard or wakeskate and well the pond we did it around was nasty with moss and crap everywhere

Went back to that place the other day, the water level was about the same so that's good news for us. We were about to put the table together when we decided to try to use the middle 8 foot section (the section with only one barrel attached) as a little launch, it worked really well and was a lot of fun. I am now claiming the world's first portable rail that can be used as both a kicker and a picnic table what up Very Happy
