C-WAY Crew, so the spool shaft part that is u-bolted to the uprights does not spin? It only spins between the edges of the spool?

yeah you guys need to understand that the shafts off the side of the spool don't spin at all, they are solidly held onto the bar that goes down onto the frame. i'm not good with vocab on this type of stuff but basically yeah it's legit. The Crab!

TheLeprechaun, locks designed for the shaft on both sides of the bearing

C-WAY Crew, oh my gosh you really did it. thanks to brandon rau for first naming it. epic. that's not even really that good of a pic of it. you should see like videos of right when i'm about to ollie onto a frontlip it's just full on claw at my side action.

wakeboarderdave, not the same as byerly's hook. the hook is actually a cool thing. the claw is very much not so.

dot., dont be cheap on the rope... go ahead and get quality stuff... you wont regret it later... i bought the cheap stuff and it only lasted a few pulls before i realized i needed some quality stuff... go with bullet line for sure... its meant for winchskating

I was going to use this before I decided to go with Bulletline
