Hey how does this sound for the the name of the WWSA Short Bus trip

2 winch crew if winch was serious about hooking it up we will have 2 winches on the bus one on the front and one on the back.

haha that would be awesome except it would be kinda hard to park it right so both would be used.

WWSA, have you seen the winch video on wakeskating.com? I think it'd be hecka hard to back a bus up to spots like that. You could not have hit ONE of the spots in that video with a grey hound. Do buses have hitch recievers? I PERSONALLY at this time, think that a "best trick" type of competion with an obstacle or two would be more feasible then a bus trip.

Chris41, not sure if you being sarcastic about a greyhound but i am pretty sure they are using one of those short buses that the special children ride in to school.

freerider4, yeah, I sorta was, but I thought I read somewhere they were going to use a bus like that. I must have been mistaken. I dont know how the winch is going to work with a bunch of people (10+ or w/e) all trying to take turns.

After the party friday night, we went to the Anderson gap and we set up the winch around a tree again, and it worked perfect we had like almost 10 people hitting this metal picnic table that you had to ollie almost 4 foot on to after you came flying out of the tunnel, it will be in WBM next month.

I figured that we would be able to unmount them and use them where ever.

Yes we would deff stop and do some best trick stuff.

and the bus, short is what we are going for, probably wont have the funding to get a big ass sweet ride.

for mountain bike freeriding they do a something like this but on a big bus and go to a bunch of different places to ride and it is pretty sweet but it only come on in canada so some of the canada so the americans can only watch teasers but maybe some of the canadians on this site have seen it heres the link http://www.dropintv.com/modules/news/

Just tow a badass lifted golf cart and hook the winch up to that - then you could go just about anywhere.
