no shizzle, that's a lot of weight for one winch.

integrity640, it's 100kg according to NotSoBueno. not 200kg. so A) it's only 220 lb and 2) that still seems like a lot. I went and looked at the black box and they said theirs was only 90 something pounds.

Pardon the potentially lame question, but is 220lbs enough to not have to hook it to a truck or drive stakes into the ground and not have it move? Just curious. In the vid from the Hive website, it doesn't seem like they go to any great lengths to bolt the sucker down. Plus it shows the Hive with quick detatch wheels and handles creating a wheelbarrow style movement....

yea i was thinking that maybe that could be a + if it really weighed 220 and that would could put it virtually anywhere as long as it was heavy enough to keep from moving.

I'd pay a couple bucks a pull.

I bet you could find quite a few people who would be willing to do this if you also had boards for them to use.

Few flyers at a few skateparks and you could have quite a turnout.

Good idea... hmm.. a bit too good. Twisted Evil

i can spell little kid breaking leg, parents suing you...

make sure you work out the legalities/insurance.

that being said as long as you are gonna haul around a couple rails, why not just make it a competition that tours?

or id pay like 2-3bucks per pull if its only 700 feet maybe more if its the 500meters = 1700+-feet.

how many times do you get to fall within 700 feet for 5 bucks Question

yeah, i guess 5 bucks is a bit much for one pull, but how about like what was said before....15-20 bucks entry fee with unlimited pulls.....and have ALL the different skates there to use as well.

I pay about 5 bucks for a pull behind a 05 VLX.

Now, for the winch, I like the 20 bucks for unlimited/hourly rate.

there are 2.2 pounds in a kg, so you are looking at like 220 pounds.
