Gif Saturdays

Todays Gif Saturday was captured wendsday, when we decided to build an incline rail in a hidden location. The shot is of Andrew Krouse throwing a clean backboard front big spin out. At first andrew was questioning if the rail was long enough, but he quickly changed his mind as he got comfortable on her check it out below....

Solution to our problem...RAIN

Earlier this week I made a post...well more of a rant about all the winch spots in orlando being a bust or not hittable right now. The first solution we did was build a rail away from all human kind, they don't seem to like all these water monsters running around orlando. We were able to winch the incline all wednesday afternoon with no one bothering us...Great Success!

Today I awoke to windy, cloudy, and unfavorable conditions, however everyone was ready to winch. We took some cinder blocks and sandbags to a gap that is only hittable in the rain, and let me tell you it was pouring. The good thing about it raining so hard was that no one actually seemed to care that we were winching...hmmmm With this in mind we might just have to wait till it rains to winch with no hassles.

Almost Stomped Wednesdays

Sorry for the delay, but vimeo was down last night doing some updates and wouldn't allow me to upload. Anyways on to the good stuff..todays' almost stomped clip features vinny knapp attempting a switch 540 down lee and gordons mill. We got this shot on our 2 week roadtrip through the southeast while we were coming back from tennesse on our way to alabama. Usually the owner has to be at the gap and with his permission you are able to session it, however it was a weekend so the tour attraction was closed and we sneaked around the back for an uniterupted day of winching.

Ironic....

All those red squares are winch possibilities, you would think out of 40 something odd locations we would find one to hit....wrong

I thought winching was suppose to make wakeskating more accessible, it seems the opposite lately in orlando...there is officially not one gap to hit in orlando.

Metro West - Drought
Dr Phillips - Drought
Deer creek - Bust
Lee Road - Bust ( got arrested )
Hunters Creek - Bust ( got arrested )
Goldenrod - Bust
Airport - Bust
Water Monsters rail - M.I.A.
Pine Creek - No landing water
Baldwin Park - Bust
Castle creek - maybe but probably not flowing
Lake Howell road gap - that bitchy lady still lives there bust
Blanchard - Gators / immediate bust

and finally, I put a rail in my backyard and my neighbor starts throwing a fit about how I'm ruining his property value because he can see the rail from his house.

Never thought my own backyard would be a BUST.

Saturday Gifs

( Click on picture to see full picture, blogger cuts it off on the homepage )

Today's Saturday Gif is composed of Kyle Walton frontboarding a canoe that we redneck rigged on top of some rocks. The shot was taken in no other Tallasse, Alabama while on a winch trip shooting with la sewer. All we had was a 4x4 support underneath the nose resting on a rock. Kyle was chosen as the guinea pig and he didn't hesitate throwing a clean frontboard. I didn't know if I was more happy that he landed it or the fact that the canoe worked and was still in tact for more shredding. If you want to see what else went down on the red canoe be sure to check out La Sewer and Clearlines new project ** Change Is Good **.

Video Part Fridays

This week's video part is of Cody Mcentire from the movie Smoke and mirrors. This section is definitely a jaw dropper, check it out for yourself below.

Its Cold in Florida

Well I got good news and I have some bad news. Ill go ahead and start with the good news Black Betty is running 100% and ready for some action. The bad news is, its been absolutely frigid the last 2 days in Orlando. This morning I awoke to crystals on all the trees from sprinklers, not my cup of tea for winching. Some brighter news is that tomorrow is a high of 71 and the weekend will also be gracing us with 75 degree weather. Its looking like a 3 day weekend of winching weekend warrior status, on the other hand enjoy this video we made of russell and martin skating the cold days away..
