ive seen that b4... kinda cool, but every angle would be the same.

-=AlexXx=-, true, but if your just wanting to record so you can watch yourself and try to improve... that'd be a great way, especially if it's just you and a friend (no spotter), and that's often how coricluster rides.

t-Rex, Are you trying to say he has no friends? Wink

how dare you.

coricluster, I'll be your friend so you don't have to try and pass off a piece of metal atop your tower as one Smash

Haha nah but that's pretty cool. I'd even say it's a pretty good angle. You don't HAVE to use it for every shot.. Very Happy

that would be soooooooo shaky. i might be wrong but like every little ripple moves the tower and so does the rider taking a cut

Those work pretty well, actually. They've been around for awhile, too. You can adjust the tension on them so they don't sway back and forth too much, too.

we used to have one..one those days where there is only two on the boat.It actully worked quite well..but the swing arm we had was about two feet longer which would smack you in face when moving about the boat or adjusting the line...it became more of a hassle than anything else
