Dudes, i've got the perfect solution to those non-wind days...cable!

Was down at UK's newest and biggest cable ski park in Milton Keynes yesterday and the place rocks! It's huge & the ride is similar to kiting, just flat water - perfect to try those surface passes, raley or backloop..the best part is the kickers & sliders..One slider is 3m tall and 20m long!!!

I'm going to start heading down (from Brum) whenever there's no wind, so if anyone's keen to join let us know & i'll give ya a ring.

Sounds perfect - what's the score - do they charge per tow - and can you use your kiteboard ?

1 hr - £14
2 hrs - £18

It's obviously much cheaper if u're a member. Can definitely use your kiteboard!

Cheers Leo - need to get myself down there and get some riding practice in.

Maybe have a midland's massif trip down there - Steveo - Dunks - you up for it ?

sounds cool is there a web site?, how long to get there?, i'de give it a go havent got a clue what its about though

thinking about heading there wednesday evening depending on weather...

dude me numbers 07973687575. will let ya know about wed

I went last year mid week. You don't need anymore than an hour really as your taking it all on your arms.

I'm up for an evening sess if I'm not working.

Oh, and remember to take b/aid or you'll have to hire one.

Headed over last night with Dunk & Richard and once again - what a styling place! The new management are really friendly and riding on the cable seems to provide an excellent choice as a no-wind sport. It also really helps with the board skills..or inverts

Richard was up and riding his first session, Dunk was punishing himself DELUX going for the backloops in front of the dismayed crowd on the jetty!

Already looking fw to next week.

Dudes
Been cable wakeboarding a while, there is also a park at Nottingham and Sheffield. Sheffield you can pay £27 and go on all day!!! Did a full day Sunday, it was excellent!! Sheffield, you can just turn up and ride. Might need to check kiteboard useage, i'd be up for joining any cable tow trips.

Went over to MK with Dunks and 'da Bok last night.

Wot a top sesh - first time I've ridden my board properly - it's normally dragging behind me on a peice of string !!

First fewlaunches I got a good spankin' and swallowed half the lake. Once I got up and ridin it was brilliant. Aching to buggery today though. The guys on the launch point were really helpfull.

The Bok was superstylin' and Dunks was tryin to kill himself as usual - he lost an arm, but luckily he's got a spare one !!

Proper hooked - can't wait to go again.

u can use yer own kite board at sheffield (rother valley country park) ski tow no problem. In fact its cheaper that way!
Oh - and if anyone fancies it - i am very likely to be there on wednesday - with awindnut from iwindsurf... The more the merrier of course!!
