Hehehe... No, this is not a 747 pilot, it's a cable-park operator...

Paul, thats awsome, where did you find that, I really like that picture for some reason, just goes to show you how far we have come with cable as well...I have some cable stuff in the wakeboarder.com media center, and I think there are some bits and pieces from others, havnt seen much though.

And here is an 'artistic' one. These guys are building a cable-park. It was in 1968, somewhere in Germany.

thanx Paul, I am going to save those...where are you getting these? Its really interesting...Even the carriers (atleast Thats what i think those things are) look so different, and the corners, have come so far, wow! Are these old family pictures or something? Just curious, I really like them.

x2xwakegurlx2x, unfortunately those are not old family pics.
Oh, and the huge dude in the operating room is not my dad...

I found the pics by chance on a cable-park website.
Go to the black & white section at the bottom of the page.

I like the very last one: look at all these people swimming in the middle of the cable way... Hehe.

This is the crew at Batam cable park. The two handles behind them are what they operate with... far from the pic posted by Paul!

Thanx Dave, I gave it a try, lets see if I did it right...

If it loads, its a scarecrow off the kicker at the BC Beach Club in Montreal, during the Cable Tour

x2xwakegurlx2x, how about posting wakeskating shots since this is a wakeskating site, not wakeboarding. I already see enough of your crap on wakeboarder.com, I don't want to see your crows here too.

dankskate, this forum is CABLE RIDING. She's on a cable, so I see nothing wrong with it...
