Nico + Henshaw = A big win for OWC

I forgot to ask... What did we lose? Hope it wasn't the A-Frame, as it was not working the last time i was there.

A-frame is out. Apparently only out for repairs. Heard rumors that either nico or Henshaw or maybe both are going to the system. Maybe someone who knows more will chime in.

It's pretty cool. Just tried it out last night. On my first hit the cable operator hit the emergency stop for some reason and I landed on my a$$ and slid on my butt. Fortunately I didn't drop the handle so I kept going when he restarted. On my second hit I came off the side and went down the downramp, nosed my board in, and got a nice body slam. After that I got pretty comfortable with it. Even gave it a wall ride. Apparently it's pretty easy to transfer, but I didn't try that yet.

Gotta be careful with your weight distribution if you come down that ramp on the side.

Hyperlite stickers on the Henshaw transfer? Odd. Looks like fun though, as do all the Unit rails.
