Its Alive...IT ALIVE

Well after a long winter and countless hours of reading, designing, shopping and collecting parts my Winch is done.

After picking up a new skate and dying to shred since last August I decided today was the day. I drove around and found a pond that was melted and it was on....

The air was 4 Degrees Celcius and the water must have been around 1 since the far side of the pond was still frozen as you can see in a few of the pics. I took 2 pulls, got in the car to warm up, took one last and called it a day.

I'm planning on seshing again tomarrow so expect more pics in the near future.

P.S. The 07 Heartbreaker is Tough, full of Pop, and down right Sexy.

JB_CANSKATE, That is a kick ass winch.

While you were busy building the winch, you might have missed this. http://www.oneill.com/mens-products.php?sport=surf&categoryID=-1&typeID=20&seriesID=40&id=246

DAY 2

So today was even colder then yesterday but I got out again and had a better sesh. I ended up Ollieing a 8ft chunk of ice and got a FS 180 over some logs. Didn't get pics of those but heres some others.

You can see a huge chunk of ice floating off in the background that broke off over night so the pond should be entirly thawed by the next time I get home from school.

Enjoy

Vince, Scotties Winch is in Orlando on the Living the Dream Tour.

killer design! most props for riding in ice.

The water was cold but I never got wet above my knees so it was alright. The Winch design was adapted from TheLeprechan's design.

Thanks for the good words.

What is water temp in degrees Farenheit? I'm not great with conversions...

JB_CANSKATE · Posted: Mar 26, 2007 10:22 am Post subject:

I'm guessing around 32 since half the pond was still frozen.
