Not only do they fly for 120 feet, they look like they go up fifty feet. I would have been right there with them 40 years.
Quote Anybody wanting to try this at home, beware - three people were rendered unconscious upon impact with the water! Title: Re: The Slide of Your Life Post by: KoKoPuf on September 05, 2011, 01:34:16 PM Hey Coach, you can still do it! I'll drive the ATV for you.
Title: Re: The Slide of Your Life Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on September 05, 2011, 01:50:31 PM Years ago my dad had a Wellcraft inboard/outboard. I would borrow it and take my friends tubing. We just had those old large truck tubes. We would tie a skie rope to it and off we went. Get up to about 45 MPH and turn sharp and see how long a person could hang on. It was OK on smooth as glass water, but when other boat wakes came by it was a hazard to your health. Felt like you would be traveling at 80 MPH on the outside of a sharp turn on the end of the rope, until you came to the boats wake and become airborn.
