After years of thinking, trying out different ideas, and figuring out who I am, I finally found a business that fits the bill. It’s called PARX. I started PARX in early July and am now working on this business full time. So pumped!
My New Website
Click on the logo and check out PARX. PARX officially brings the means to Board the Midwest All Day, Everyday. Summer, Winter, Spring and Fall, we can board through it all.
All the videos and blogs I do from this point on will be done through my new business. Please check us out and follow us for updates. We are going to be doing a lot of boarding, and you don’t want to miss out.
Summer is here the snow is gone, so what are you going to do to snowboard? Midwesterners have the tendency to hang up the board and forget about it until winter. I say forget that.
Build Backyard PARX
Check out this little set up I brought over to a friends house to test out. He had a drop in already built for riding in the winter, so we threw up some powderpak, dragged out a 12′ piece of PVC and got after it.
If you think it looks a little sketchy, that is fine because it was. This was only a test. I would suggest a wider run in and more of a landing. I would also suggest using a rail that will not move.
Other than that…, I love how simple it can be. You can put it up and take it down in minutes, and it allows you to Board the Midwest All Day, Everyday.
I know some of you out there board the summer too. Post up some pics of your set up and maybe we can encourage more to build year round parks. Check out my Facebook Page if you like to board.
For the pasted month I got tangled up in putting together a winch park for the Clinic. If you have not heard about the WakeBoard Clinic, Click Here and go to their site. Better yet, if you live in Michigan or the Midwest, come hang out, take a few sets, and step up your wakeboard game instantly.
The Winch Park
Alright, here is what we are working with.
Two flat 12 foot rails and two 6 foot up Rails. Since this picture was taken, we have added another 12 foot section and a 16 foot up that should be killer.
Because the rails are in sections, the options are endless. We have tested a few already. The rails are designed so they fit side by side to make a 24 inch box slider for young kids and beginners.
Hopefully this will make you want to come to southeast Michigan and put your skillz to the test. The summer is here and wetsuit season is over. It’s time to ride.
Maybe this short Video will help you understand what we are getting into, and what you could be getting into too.
If you and your friends want to come out for a winch session, hit up Brian at the WakeBoard Clinic, or shoot me a message on my Facebook Page. Bring your parents, bring your dogs, and don’t forget your cameras because you know we will have fun Boarding the Midwest All Day, Everyday.
It was only a few years ago when I first moved to Michigan. One of my biggest fears was that I would not find anywhere to wakeboard. Maybe I should have known it, but MI has thousands of lakes, it is surrounded by the Great Lakes, Canada surrounds the Great Lakes, and in Canada is there is a new wakeboard cable park.
Boarder Pass Cable Park
It would be easy to give you the facts of Boarder Pass like every other bore; But instead, I figured it would be a lot more fun to make you jealous.
I have a one of a kind enhanced license that will allow me to cross the US/Canada boarder.
It just so happens that Boarder Pass is a 40 minute drive from my front door.
40 minutes away… A cable park.
Add in Sesitec 2.0 and nothing more needs to be said. I can’t wait to come back with footage for you all.
Click on the Boarder Pass logo to go to their site, and shoot me a message on Facebook if you have or would like to hit up Boarder Pass this summer. It is always better to Board the Midwest All Day, Everyday with friends.
