Seems like everybody and their G-ma has them now a days. Just curious to see how many people use them.

Do You...

A. Have your own summer setup

B. Use someone else's summer setup (like a friend's)

C. Not have one

Kinda. Posted vids, but need to upgrade.  Hopefully will be able to weld up some steel dub barrels with 2.5 inch pipe.  Goal is to have an 8 foot up to 3 foot gap to 8 foot down.  Want to be able to sex change over the gap.

that set up sounds like the making of a sex change indeed.

but... wouldn't that defeat the purpose of asking how many people have a summer setup, because everyone in that cult has a summer setup....

A. Have had one since last summer, just adding some new rails/features to it for this summer. Should get it done in a couple weeks, which will coincide with getting a tramp. I'll have a 8ft drop in setup, which will able to do dfd, df, up flat, down, down flat, and a regular flat setup that will be perfect to get 4's on/off + switch hit. Ballin'! I hope there will be the Salomon Edit Contest this year.
