    Default Grand Rapids gravity tubing advice?

    I'm fairly new to gravity tubing and was wondering if there is anyone around the Grand Rapids area (I live in Sand Lake - 30 minutes north on 131) that might be willing to stop by and take a look at the trees/slope I have going on.

    I'm just looking for a second opinion on how to run the tubing.

    Sugar Bush Supplies in Mason (they are located less than 2 miles south of I-96 on Okemos Road) is having an open house on Oct. 17 and 18 and is offering a tubing demo (both gravity and vacuum) on Friday afternoon the 17th. You could probably get all your questions answered plus learn tricks to make your tubing experience a success. Their phone number is 517-349-5185.

    Thanks for the replies. Looks like there's a sugarbush fairly close by. I'll shoot them an email.

    Unfortunately I'm out of town on the 17th and 18th. That sounds like a perfect opportunity. Maybe I'll just stop by there one day and see if someone wants to chat for a bit.
