Those things are beastly. Question: How do you hook the rope up to it...?

They are beastly, and look super awful but you feel like a pro behind the boat. Do yourself a favor and ski the low pole from time to time.

Disconnecting it and swinging it down would be more work than just climbing up there. A lot of people will leave a section hooked on and connect to that.

you just climb up guys plus they make a great video angle.

I HAD one on my boat but since I had to fold it up and down every time I used the boat I decided it was not for me. I like the ease of the standard fly high pylon extension.

Like Wood said, I'll likely put a 7ft. Tek-line sectiom on there. I really don't see my fat-ass climbing the tower everytime.

I think it may be record "being pulled by a helicopter".

It does show that world record speeds could be reached(136+) but can he do it behind a boat?

Wow, those falls in the first video are BRUTAL! Definitely some serious injuries happening there. The acceleration on the record setting run is absolutely insane!

Hollywood's rule of thumb is: "if there are no pictures, it didn't happen"

Just kidding. Congrats. Keep up the good work.

Installed a Super-Fly-High this afternnon. Took longer than expected and got too dark for pictures. May try it out in the morning. I'll post pics. Going from 7' to 12' pull point is going to be crazy long line!

Have yet to try it. Was on the way to the lake, but decided to take the boat to the dealership for some little "odds and ends" warranty work.
