Hitting sliders has become more and more popular as the sport of wakeboarding and wakeskating grows. Here are a few plans for building sliders provided by some Wakeboarder.com visitors. We have also started a Slider Talk message forum so you can discuss your own plans for building a slider on your lake. Check out the forums if you do not see anything here that describes the type of slider you want to build. Wakeboarder Slider Forum. You can even check out how sliding has changed over the years by watching some videos involving sliders. The Red Bull WakeLab is probably one of the craziest events that we have seen using sliders today.
Note: Sliding on a wakeboard or wakeskate is dangerous. Always wear a helmet, do not attempt anything you aren't ready for,
and do not attempt to build a slider if you aren't confident in your abilities to build a safe one. Wakeboarder.com is not
