Sooo after the first attempt at watercross, those who were willing to risk sinking their sleds brought them out again for another shot at crossing the pond. I went to start my sled the night before, and it was seized TIGHT like a man's annoose....@^$&! I think it may be the recoil, I only took the head off to have a look-see and everything looked okay....damn was that dissapointing. Anyways, that left Alex (LexBroski), Nik (froesen) and Bobby (sledmeds#6) to carve up the water. Again, lots of sinking took place! Nik only got 1 run in, he ALMOST made it across but some recurrent clutching issues took over. There WILL be a round 3! Delgaty and proxJ made it out to take in the spectacle - good to see you clownskis. Bring a sled or two next time! thumbsup.png

The video is here (~36mb, should stream fine with high speed)

i got to watch the first 1 min or so before my p.o.s computer decided your movie had an error (it didnt...just wasnt fully loaded and apperantly thats a problem...?) and refused to play again, load again, or even reload. it looks awesome from what i saw. pretty good song to (to bad ozzy isnt that understandable in real life eh?) soooo what are the odds it might make an appearance on youtube? lol.

Nice Video as usual guys! thumbsup.png I'm disappointed though to actually see the boat "a float". That would have been the high light of the day watching two of you capsize the sucker. That'll teach me for not going and watching.

very nice. You guys tape up your vents or anything? Would prvent a lot of sinking I would sink. And whoevers REV that only makes it 15 feet, I think something is wrong with setup---you should skip that no problem??

Look like a nice place though, I would love to come up and take a few rips.

Yup I duct taped every crack, hole, vent and seam on the clutch side. Never had a problem with the clutch getting wet.

Well WIPolaris i imagine u are refuring to me! I didnt tape up my cracks and vents on that side until after a few runs and my belt is just cooked. i need a new one. I will try to do better in the next water skipping session. Maybe some noodles smiley-faces7.gif

It was a good day, I got a tan, LOL, got to watch some nice skills... and some carnage! Alex can sure fly over the H2O, I'll tell ya. It sux rob's sled was stuck tigher than a tick's arse, I hope it's not too serious. Ya sure, I get to his place, 20 minutes he says, I go in the garage, there's the sled, no head, carbs taken off, no skis, LOL. Good choice with the song as usual, Ozzy rips! ylsuper.gif I don't wanna stop is right, riding sleds in the middle of summer. LOL Jeez, a big guy like me, you think I woulda made it into at least one shot, JK, it's for the best my ugly mug isn't on the net.

Who said anything about it staying afloat the whole time??? LOL, am I a heatbag or what??

On the way to the pit, getting close, me and Jay got worried because we saw this sign on the side of the road. I thought- "I feel really bad for anyone that sinks there sled today" Thankfully it was a different place HAHA..

i THOUGHT that sign looked familiar...that'd be a real challenge, there is a sewage lagoon near pinawa...lol
