MY WINCH IS DONE!!!

well, 99% of it anyway, i just need to put an I-bolt on it and paint the sucker and its done. I havent done any pulls besides with the skateboard. It has enough power to rip the handle out of my bros hands on a skateboard so im optimistic the gear will work out alright on the maiden pull which should be in 20 minutes or so : )

here are a couple picks and i should have video by tonight

very simple in concept and a bit more difficult in application

That looks just like mine, Expect mine doesn't have medal or a Engine or a rope..... But ther Rest looks Identicle.

yes it is aluminium, it weighs 73lbs, i can carry it myself, but having the extra person is nice

after doing some testing last night, I need to fiddle with the governor b/c the engine does some weird rpm pulsing thing, it can pull me no problem, but it just wants to yank me off the board. Rope guidence is also high up on the list of things to do. And after my dad got smacked with a flying handle a few times, ill probably end up getting a brake on there eventually, but no videos b/c we didnt have any good runs to put up

LOL @ dad being smacked by the handle.....need pictures please!!

LAXitives288 · Posted: Nov 14, 2006 5:48 pm Post subject:

the rope is 3/16 770lb jacketed dacron, its uv resistent, but the only gripe so far is its a little stretchy. The frame is very simple, only weighs 8lbs which im happy about, ill get a pic of my dads fizzle over finger later

dirtyohioriver22, its actually a river, lol
