The new Nottingham cable is awesome for anyone that's interested. They've got two system 2.0's for beginners which means the new cable is free for everyone else to ride. It's much bigger than it used to be and some of the new obstacles are fun
Tried to dial a 360 for the first time when I went last week. Got the rotation but forgot to pass the handle behind my back. Doh :/

I tried doing this last year on the cable near bedford (box end) I think I was there for 2 hours and I never even got the chance to try the board, I just couldn't do the sodding kneeling board thing. I kept sinking now I'm not fat but I weight 13.5st
Took me pretty much the full 2 hrs to even get off the platform (they had to sink it in the end). After finally getting going I crashed out and smashed my face causing a nose bleed.
Made me laugh... awesome fun and I can't wait to try it again. Any guidance guys?
Just ordered a new board. Liquid Force Witness Grind. Anyone ridden one?
Classic board, cant go wrong. Very popular.
The grid base is tailored towards the people hitting obstacles. Makes it a bit stiffer and durable than the normal witness. Good for both boat and cable. havent riden one however.
After a new pair of boots. thinking of going hyperlite teams or LF Watsons...depends on whats instock and my size. Had a pair of Ronix ones but there so hard to get in-out.

(and because it matches my bindings better )
Duck down lower and lean back. Try harder to take the strain when the cable yanks you at the start. Your hitting the water too nose heavy with too much weight on your knees.
So had my first cable session yesterday. Enjoyed it.
Did you do that at JB kiteloopy? If so, what's the form?
ouch
