Cable Park MK
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 ?

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.
