Anyone ever try it ? I've seen people do something similar with a snowboard but I wanna try it with a wakeskate it seems like it could work I mean I know you'd be pretty limited on what you could do but I think it would be fun for some backyard beer drinking fun Very Happy

We've tried it, and it hurts. No pics with the wakeskate, but here's one of our slip n slide spot.

tad, a kicker at the bottom of the hill going into a landing pool... would be bad ass.

Couldn't hurt anymore than falling off a skateboard

tad, Nice.

It doesn't matter how old you are, slip and slides are always fun.

Montgomery, I remember a post on here where someone said snow fencing would work as a surface to slide on. I think it's in the winching section.

Steven M, even better, it goes into the lake, but we were thinking about a kicker.

tad, I didn't realize it went into the lake but umm..

PWC + long rope/handle + tube/boogey board/something + that hill to a kicker to a lake = GREAT FAWKING TIME

I think they did something like this in counterfiet this. But I think they used roam boards with no bindings. I believe someone did a shuv or something close.

It's in to a lake? That's a whole-nother ball game. At college wakeboard regionals we used the Red Bull Grinch to get a little extra speed going. It kind of pulled you to one side though but there's gotta be some way around that. With that said...

HIGH SPEED EXTREEME INFLATABLE ORCA WHALE JUMPING

(Or you could just call it Orca-Cross)
