u quoted me a bit wrong but yeah i wasnt even thinking of the hive when i posted that. so basically the hive, rewind and grinch have been proven in contests.
btw, i dont think anyone here is comparing ur winch to anyone elses. u guys have a premium winch. i think on here its been established with urs on top and the a run for 2nd with the grinch, pirate, black box and rewind.

Those pics are sick, that course looks so fun. Who is that huge air in the second pic, is he gapping or landing on the rail? Shocked

It is probably awesome to position the winch in a high spot than on the ground. I bet it works more like a tower does in a boat.

I have another winch question. When you pull, for example at the brodeo, is it better to have the winch right in front of the gap? I like to hit tricks in the flats, and to do this I cut out diagnally to catch some slack before I throw my trick. How do you buy time to do this on a winch?

Thanks peeps.

Raven, I have the Blackbox winch and each time we have skated ponds that have a hill next to it we back in to the highest spot and not only do others and myself ride way better when the winch is higher but the winch itself seems to run smoother and the rope winds in evenly

labellethrasher, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks bra.

That hive is sick. Shocked
