I have a hook on the option but I don't mind trying a rope. I actually have an old hammerhead that the hook broke off of and was toying with the idea of converting it to a slider. Any good How-to's out there that you could refer me to? I was thinking of drilling a hole near each side of the bar and running rope through it but I'm worried that the rope will get cut by the holes, even if I file them out nicely. I've already had that hook break off on me during a jump and that wasn't fun... almost took my nose off.
