Ive seen people wakeskate behind these a few months ago in wbm. But was wondering ow fast and long you can skate behind them. heres the link

And would they pull in sand? also does it put alot of strain on the dirt bike? and would i be better off buying a small 4 wheeler?

I have two XR 60's and they are piped and stuff and i dont think they would have enough power to pull a wakeskater. look for a old ass 3 wheeler or a old quad for cheap.

I would recomend a bigger 4 wheeler if you are gonna tow with it alot. I have a killer xr 50w/a 88cc big bore kit and it still doesn't have enough balls for towin.
we used to drag ourselves through parking lots standing on trashhcan lids and you definately want some torque.you would ruin a mini bike which only has 3 horsepower.

i ride 50s all the time. i think theyre fast enough but i kno you wouldnt b able to deep water start. but the ones ur lookin at wouldnt do it. go to ebay and type in xr 50. dont get those ones i kno that they wont get the job done.

yeah i have an original 1979 z50 and there is no way in hell it would pull anything and i think if the rider cut out it would pull the bike and make the driver crash. i would recomend atleast and xr70 bike or higher or a quad that is at least 100cc four stroke

Last year during the WWA Collegiate Nationals we rode behind a 50cc up and down the beach while the competition was going on just to kill time, There was a shot of us in WBM I believe. The little 50 can pull, you just have to do a running start and not a deepwater start.

headhuntermx4,

that would be so funny just to watch someone crash on the bike when the ride cuts out to hard.

Or hitting a jump with the rider hanging on
