I know this should be in the "Find a pull" section but more people will see it here.

Just wondering if any of the guys who live in Markham want to go winching tonight. I've got a couple beginners who want to come so lookin for 1 or 2 guys to just come out for a couple hours and skate some nastyness.

Probobly Riding Here

thats sick, what time you heading out. i work at 407 and woodbine, its pretty close, i just dont know if i have time tonight, but... the idea of beginners being there is a little re assuring so that i dont look like a tool when i cant stomp tricks because of the mass amounts of presure to impresses fellow wakeskating.com ers

andrewbutler, Haha man I think your better then me so don't worry. I was actually thinkin it would be sick to see you try a couple kickys. I'll probobly go out around 6:30- 9:30 or until everybodies had enough.

Warning you now tho that the pond is pretty nasty and weedy.

alright, lemme see how my day unfolds here at work and then ill see, chances are i probably cant come because thats just my luck during the week.

ahah, and as far as my kickys go well, i was on a hot streak for a while, i started off aweful then had a few 2 weekends ago where i was actually close (where those pics were from) and then this weekend i just got worked. I messed up one and took it in the shins, so i got it in my head that i need to spin it harder and took my foot more to the edge of the board, but then i would ollie and have no balance cause my front foot was useless and i would just faceplant, lol it was pretty embarassing to say the least.... but i just started trying 3-shuvs this weekend and am getting close, spinning is easy, i suck at landing tho, always land on the board then pop off Sad

oh well.

beside my inablility to come close to kick flips, (which i doubt i will ever land and just had a lucky weekend i think lol) i was pumped this weekend. Went out for a set on sat, did a few wake jumps, then threw a shuv first try (small), then right after did a bs 180 and popped pretty decent, then right after i landed like my best shuv ever, popped it higher then before, sucked up my knees, it felt like 10ft in the air lol, i caught the board at the height of my pop and just stomped it, i was stolked, most of the time if i actually get good pop on tricks i land sketchy, but this time i just popped it, got me feet on it and landed like i never even left the water, so needless to say i was very happy, which made me think i was good enought for some 3-shuvs, and i was supprised that the first one i did i almost landed, got the board under me and all. Hopefully next weekend i will be able to stomp it.

I wish i had a winch and could ride here and there when ever i had time, but unfortunatly, well not really, but i have to spend like 1500 on a plane ticket to get to europe at the end of the summer, so i dont wanna have to drop more money on a winch also Smash

Alright cool, I'm probobly going a few times this week so post in this thread if any of you guys want to go out and we'll work something out. I'm pretty much always down to ride if I'm not busy... especially if you have some interesting spots.

hey jb, im mainly at my cottage for the summer but i know me and my buddy nate_ would forsure wanna come out for a sesh, so whenever u do it next ill be there, whats the setup? winch and a flatbar or

JB_CANSKATE · Posted: Aug 07, 2007 8:03 am Post subject:

mc.willz, We've got a 24' u-flat thats built and ready to go. When we started putting it in we got busted by some she-cop and by the time we took it to the next spot we ran out of light. Since then I've been too busy to get it in the water but once we have some time we'll get it in.

I usually set-up some obsticles and I still have a sick land gap I want to sesh. I'll post in this thread when I'm going out next.
