Just wondering if anyone knows when and where rails/kickers are set up? Really keen to give it a go.

There was one down at Altona a few day last season. Not sure but it may have been there for some promo shots to be taken. Maybe check in with the KSS guys to see if there is going to be a repeat installation this year?

KSS has nothing to do with it, it is run by myself and another person, unfortunately we wont be putting them out for a while due to liability issues but once we have resolved this we may be able to run clinics to teach people.
The rails that where put in were always for a clinic/competition/shoot and we had trouble with people trying to hit them who werent meant to, so until we can guarantee that it is covered we will not be putting them out to the general kiting community
If you want more info shoot me a PM
Thanks Jeremy

Yep, because you're the one that placed it in the water and if someone hurts themselves they can sue you
You can risk it (we have) but we soon discovered that even people who think they can ride have a pretty high risk of injuring themselves, give it a shot if you want, just find a quiet place where locals arent likely to call water police or council or parks victoria and you can session one. but it would take like a couple of people just to set it up right and everything and youd really need to know what youre doing because its completely different to riding cable etc.

F#cken councils and there stuid rules. I understand someone is going to hurt themselves but it should be there problem not yours.

I spoke to a rep from Slingshot and they put there one out in the pub beaches/lakes all the time.
