yea it will prolly cause some carnage but some poor uni students travelling long ways need to get some radical curves in exchange bud

seriously though if its possible it might be a good idea to mellow that kicker out a bit....

any other recommendations for a kicker/slider?




looks like some one wants a tame kicker . [}:)] seriously though might not be a bad idea make it eaiser for those who have never hit one . might free up the launch pad to mars by reducing the stacks on the only kicker make it more enjoyable for every one which is the whole point . ? .

haha thats conveniently planned.

its not so much the height its the transition thats ****ed, it gets too steep too quick so all that happens is you get bucked vertically and lose a lot of forward speed so you land slow and heavy, fine for kids that hit it like fairies but if you hit it properly all you going to do is bust knees haha

little clip of Matti Di Nittis (one of the judges for Freestyle/ Wakestyle at nats).
The Cairns Cable Crew is going to come down to show some action on the sliders/ kicker.
