Nice, never knew there was one close to home. I see they have a kicker and a rail...anything else? _________________ "Once you learn to quit, it becomes a habit."

A big kicker, a little one, and a really steep one, a new rail is going up soon, and a little rail. |

Yeah, that picture didn;t help a whole lot, i think i know what its like now though, comes to a point at the top and then goes back down to the water on both sides? That transition could be tough on a skate |
Dude, you don't have to grab at the end to land the flat rail at Rixen... if you can slide to the end, just bend your knees and the board should stay with you. If you come off early, just try to apply a little weight on your back foot, or even give your tail little "snap" if you're skateboard savvy.
A-frames aren't hard on a wakeskate as well. As long as the down rail drops into the water rather than going right into it, it's just like dropping of a flat rail.
Who knows when I'll be home to hit it, but I'm sure by the time I get there "posterboy" will be killing it as usual. J/k, Sean. Let's hope it's as gnar gnar as the scuzbourne a-frame . |

Kyle, its not an A-Frame, its just like the big rail now, just a foot higher, if i remember correctly, the same length. No down side to it either. |

Any word on Rixen being open? I'm planning on going tomorrow and it would suck to drive all the way down there and have it be closed _________________ Back Again For The First Time

Ok...well they are, but the new rail isnt out yet. Its not ready yet. I am mad though, they put this new soap thing in, which is pretty cool, but they also added the bench thing which sort of divides the 2 lines. So now we cant run across from the kneeboarder side, and jump off the wakeboard side for acid drops.
How are those shoes comign along? |
