The shredtown crew, aaron rathy, kaesen suyderhoud, aj racinelli, and bob sichel are doing a winch trip from TX to FL and need some spots for the trip. Do yall know any good winch spots in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama or Georgia???

Let us know. And send pics or coordinates from google maps. Thanks. CH.

A ton of rain has come through here lately. You might be able to find some good stuff if you hurry.

There's plenty here in MS to ride, but I'm trying to think of somplace good to winch lol. Only small lake i can think of is filled with stumps, snakes and god knows what else. Maybe more people will chime in.

Snakes aren't a big deal for the most part, and Caleb we're leaving Sunday I think. We're looking for drops, wallrides, waterfalls, handrails that could possibly be submerged, and anything else gnarly that you see and are like, damn if I was crazy enough, I'd hit that.

I know of a bunch of places in central arkansas, but none in Southern Arkansas/Louisiana. The rain is everywhere though, so I am sure you wont have any problems.

I am in Kosciusko MS, which is an hour north of Jackson. The pond is located a few miles south of Batesville MS which is most definitely a little out of the way to FL but an awesome spot to spend an entire day none the less.

thats a sick setup overstreet lol. as far as i know there's nothing like that in the central area, and unfortunately I can't think of any fountains big enough either lol

Once you get to central Floida the canal sides are totally do-able and Winter Haven is loaded with them... and the water i think is higher now which would make it much easier...
super low water in the shot though

I remembered this place, Its about a 45 minute ride from where i live. Its a Low Head Dam drop varies depending on water level, but i want to say its around 8-10 ft. It may or not be available due to the river being up, so i'll make a ride out there tomorrow morning if you guys are somewhat interested. If not, I'll talk to another guy down here and if you guys want we could probably get you out behind a boat with a chase boat on some absolutely butter water.

the first picture is an overhead of the dam from google earth, the second picture is what the water looks like on a bad day lol

I forgot to mention that getting to the dam is close to an hours boat ride after launching and thats on an I/O not a slammed wakeboat lol. Hit me up by email and let me know if you guys are interested and I'll send you my phone number and all and we can talk details

stupid non allowing an edit, There's also a few small lakes close to I 20 where some rails and all could possibly be put in, but i'll have to check with the local pd as i can't afford to go to jail, and i don't imagine none of you do either lol. It would also require building stuff and money for building stuff lol.

Surprisingly we've got tons of sick spots in Alabama. Kyle Walton lives with us now on Lake Martin... and him, Dieter, Nick V., Horan and others frequent lots of good local spots. The cover of 2 months ago's Alliance was at the Shakespeare festival in Montgomery. If you want some good spots hit me up through email or PM and I'll hook you up... not really down to share in a public forum ;)

overstreet, is that the lake my ole miss that Zack used to ride on? he showed me some of his video of a good weekend if that's the same place. Zacks a good friend of mine and we ride all the time around here in jackson. By the way, i know when the boys from Innuendo came through they built some kickers and stuff out at Luckett Lodge to jump the crosswalk. Pretty sweet parts of it in the video. Zack's family owns Luckett Lodge, but i'll get in touch with him and see about some other places. This place right here is my place. The cove out in front of my house. we are planning on building a "rail park" so to speak, like overstreets got and sticking a winch where i'm standing taking this picture. If me and zack can get something built soon ya'll could ride here. Upload

sippi, Yeah its the same small pond Zach and the ole miss wakeboard crew shredded for the last few years. Jared Couch made a trip down a couple years ago and alliance did a small article on it ....http://www.alliancewake.com/wake/gettin-deep-in-the-deep-south/ That is a sweet setup you have there in the cove..I'm guessing you are on the rez? If so I can bring my winch down sometimes and would be more than glad to help build and fund a small rail setup.

When I lived in Waco, I thought the low water damn on the Brazos had great potential. It's located East of Hwy 77 off Marlin Hwy (Hwy 6/Spur 484), pretty close to Baylor.

I got spots for days here in Atlanta and its surrounding areas. If you have seen were just skiing you have see about a 1/3 of them.
Old     (sippi)      Join Date: Dec 2007       10-27-2009, 8:26 AM Reply   
yea i thought that looked familiar. he's told me about that spot several times. Our project soon is to build something like that in front of my house. It'd be an awesome place. I'm not actually on the rez but the river just above it. Better riding than the rez. Me zack and brad have been ridin a lot this summer. If you ever make it down this way hit me or zack up and we'll get out and map out the "park" we are going to build and get some riding in.

sorry to tease, its Wisco... i figured it would cause get someone excited, but it is perfect, the far side has water too.... I have wanted to hit it forever too but no one around here has a winch and I am far from ambitious so won't prob won't get built.

we got a 4 lane road gap across a bayou here on campus at ULM. but its probably a good 8 ft drop on each side. i think you would have to be movin pretty good to clear it.

search desiard st and stadium drive in monroe, LA. you will see it. the red box in the bayou about 200 feet from the road is a ramp for the ski team.... just sayin.
