Wow, talented though. I was amazed at how straight the boat traveled.

Re: Dumb, Just plain dumb.

God I hope the idiots around here dont start trying that.:facepalm: Sombody is going to have an extra boat in their slip from trying this.

Oops, how many x80's can there be in that area? They have another video of the same guys with 2 of those boats right next to each other doing the same thing so i know there is at least two. Look for the one on the bank somewhere. :p

Re: Dumb, Just plain dumb.

Wow ... one fall on a surf board would set that dude back an easy $50K.

That boat is likely well over 100K....used 09's are selling in the mid 90K range.....can you imagine the conversation with the insurance adjuster....um...er...well I was wake surfing, and uh...

lots....i live in California north......the lakes are full of them. there is 4 lakes in a mountain valley stretching for over 100 miles....on the other side of the mountains...there is another 2 lakes.....that go 25 miles.

however.....i know most of the dealerships.....the mechanics....and the detailers.
the wild card is if it is an alberta boat......

can any one make out the first two letters?...are they AB or BC?

Re: Dumb, Just plain dumb.

Possibly, the most moronic stunt I've ever seen. As to the driver of the lifted truck, you got what you deserved. I hope the road rash leaves a permanent scar to remind you of the day you were a complete IDIOT.

Re: Dumb, Just plain dumb.

Doesn't look like that big of a deal. Smooth water, no one else in sight, he was going slow enough to wakesurf, if he'd fell I'd guess that the boat or jet-ski that was filming it would have just pulled up alongside and put someone on board.

Typical stupid kid stunt, but no where near the worst I've seen.

Now the truck one, that was just plain stupid!!

Re: Dumb, Just plain dumb.

the only difference between bravery and foolishness is success. The boat trick is pretty cool, even with a driver.

If you were going to do the boat stunt responsibly, you have either a remote shut-off in the chase boat, or a kill switch lanyard hanging off the side (or on the surfer). Plus a kid brother lying on the floor in case of fall.

As the guys falling off the cars--just morons. The tragedy is that they influence other morons to do it as if they won't get hurt. A fall from the car roof, or even hood/trunk of a car can easily be fatal and should break a bone. I know of incidents that ended that way. The death certificate would read, "testosterone poisoning."

HAHAHA.."testosterone poisoning"...now that's one to remember! Yeah, im thinking there's a kill switch involved somewhere, or someone in the boat just in case...looked like a good clear lake and he's obviously done that many times before...as for the dude on the truck, well he's on the bad end of Darwins theory...let these people "weed themselves out"...we don't need idiots like that around anyway...

I agree, stupid, but to say the boat is worth 100k or 90k, what world are you from??? 40 to 50's my friend...
