25 feet per minute? that doesnt seem very fast.

ya thats really slow, but im guessing they put all of the power from then engine into pulling 2500lbs, i was thinking i could fix it so it could pull like 500lbs at 18mph...might be not worth it though

You could always save up $400 more and get a BlackBox.

Why not just buy this one that you know will work for about the same price??

Do all wake winch's have to have the car/tow bar thing. I liked the idea of the hive, therefore you could take it anywhere you wanted, without needing the whole car. I Live in las vegas and i think it would be awesome to skate the huge water scene in front of the bellagio hotel, and i cant do that with those winches.

doing it infront of the bellagio would be insane...but you would prob. get arrested on the spot haha Crazy Eyes

Ya man that is sick. Do it up real quick and then move on to the next spot. Winch hop until u have enough footage and then post it. Po-po arent that fast unless theres security. Very Happy

the water scene is right on the strip if you havent been to las vegas...and yes im sure there is a shizzle of security seeing as its a casino.... Crazy Eyes

ya, im pretty sure that i would be arrested within a minute...i feel that i just really have to do it though...i mean....its right there...on the strip..it would be perfect, i doubt i would be put in jail...maybe a fine, maybe a slap on the wrist, i dunno i'm gonna ask around.

A winch will probably look like a big bomb to vegas security.

haha, if you can even get a winch onto the belagio property I will give you props. they have so many cameras, and plain clothed security gaurds you'd get jacked in a second. your best bet would be to make really good friends with the management of the casino.. maybe they would let you ride at like 6am or something...also if you fell over the fountain you'd prob get impailed... good luck with that man. and i doubt youd get a slap on the wrist.. they'd arrest you more than likely.

good point, i winch will prolly look like a bomb.

Chris closer to the street there are no fountain things, so no impailings. It's just one big pond and all the fountains are in the middle and back. Your right about the cameras though, they have them all over there little sidewalk lights. I need to get in on the inside of this.

i like Chris Barcellos ' idea man wut u need to do is get together a crew of skaters and take a propostion to the management. have it planned out as a promo for their hotel. like the dancing girls only perhaps better Very Happy

then if they feel it u could start something. get gigs all over vegas different hotels. who knows make some $$
