I'm sure this has been posted before. I've seen similar versions to this. But this is the first one I saw for retail sale.

i just dont see how consistent the pull would be, like if you were to cut hard to one side and pull that thing would spin

I'd certainly take a set with my buddies any day. But with all of us taking care of school and work, it can get pretty uncommon that our schedules align while conditions are good. Plus, I don't know about you guys, but sometimes I just feel like carving down the lake and enjoying the scenery and the feeling of water under my feet without worrying about my set time and the driver getting bored. Wakeskating to me is a very personal thing, and riding alone would have some real mental/spiritual advantages. Now, is that worth 17k? To me, absolutely, but i can see how it wouldn't be for someone else. If I won that much money, I would buy that shizzle in a heartbeat. Or if I had billionaire relatives or something, totally. I'm not about to go and save my paychecks for a year, but again if I had the money it would be a closed deal. Someone posted this thing a few years ago and it hasn't left my mind much since.

I like what you're putting down thereSlapdown.

In my mind I never picture myself skating with anyone else, it's always just me enjoying the "nature" and trying to have a little fun shredding. I rarely skate with people who enjoy the sport more than partying so that's why I probably would like one of those.

Partying is fun and all but I would like to take a few sets one day without having to push to skate instead of sit and drink Embarassed

I have seen Daniel Tosh's Completely Serious, but I couldn't tell you if that was my resource or not. The statement was rather impulsive, but now that you bring it up it is familiar, and it could have very well been the reason i wrote it.

I think he is funny as well though.

I had a budy that called the company directly thru their website http://www.solowatersports.com/

He told me they were gonna be selling them for more like around $8000, seems much more feasible at that price.

if it shuts off due to a tether switch or cord... wouldn't that get rapped up on you if your doing 3's and other spins? Smash
