Baller_ Bruce_Butterfield Posted July 3, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted July 3, 2014 Excellent! If I can't try it, I know my kids will want to. If it was easy, they would call it Wakeboarding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller eleeski Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 Note that the teenage years are engineered to come to an end. The jury is still out on whether the 20's are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller 9400 Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 Trebuchet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mwetskier Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 @9400 -not likely to be a trebuchet due to the long rope. if a kid was swung over the top of that arm on a tether that long he would almost certainly be risking permanent injury or death. looks like a pole rope swing and there launching off the top of a motor home.

Baller A_B Posted July 3, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 You know @9400, this kid would probably give it a go. Started out climbing up trees and jumping onto our shed roof when he was a grasshopper at the lake, then jumping off the boathouse roof, and then getting a scholarship to pole vault at Ohio State. He also skinnied up and down the pole to attach the rope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller DaveD Posted July 3, 2014 Baller Share Posted July 3, 2014 Note to self: remember to attach the rope before putting up the pole. I think OSU is the right school for him. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OTF Posted July 4, 2014 Members Share Posted July 4, 2014 What line length, straight or curved handle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller A_B Posted July 4, 2014 Author Baller Share Posted July 4, 2014 We were discussing that the handle is an old beater and if they are going to be generating more G's, it might be time for a new handle along with cable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
