Hi everyone.  Over the winter we will be putting in some new sliders.  We can put in an additional three pieces.  We'd love to have your input for them - Tell us what you want to see!

Yeah, a fun box would be awesome.  Maybe not quite as massive as MK's, but definately something that is fixed in place.

Yep fun box but make it bigger than WakeMKs and longer with sloping sides for the big 1080s etc.

You cant go far wrong with a lengthy flatbar (over 95ft) and a decent A-Frame

I really like the fact that there is too identical kickers on either side of the cable, as means an end to the argument of 'if only it was on my heelside I could land that too...'

So maybe two identical sliders either side as well...

The other thing I like doing is to ollie over buoys, so how about a line up of variuos size buoys to jump over etc

That's a nice easy idea.  We'll add some extra buoys of different sizes soon.

OK then guys, here is a little taster of things to come.  The slider will be in the water by 17th Feb (Next Weekend!) with the kicker transfer following soon after.  To give an idea of scale, the slider stands about 4ft high.  All the obstacles are steel framed and covered all over with plastic, so no more board (or body) damage! 

There are also plans for an A-Frame to be added later on, either as a stand alone item, or bolted to the side of the kicker transfer. 

All the sliders are to be provided by Brett Hodgkins of Team Dred (http://www.teamdred.co.uk/), so there will be some serious know-how behind them!

See you all at the lake, bring a helmet!

Will

P.S. Please excuse the drawings.

I know it's a Hyperlite, but I'm sure it must be made of more that just plastic, Kerry! :P
