Awesome Skiing video

Ok I struggled with where to post this video, but finally decided to post in the main forum, and let the mods decide if it's better suited for Off Topic or elsewhere. I thought it was amazing, and wanted to share...

Wow!!! That is nuts.....they must be going 40mph!!

I thought the one guy was into the outboard prop for a sec.

I've never seen outriggers for skiing before, amazing to watch them switching from side to side...

Awesome!

Seriously high end footin' there!

The guys with the outboard and trapeze-type handles dangling from above were taking incredible risks way too close to the prop, IMHO. Just like some BASE jumpers die, I imagine some of these guys lose feet or legs...

Great video, however. That high speed pass through the retaining walled canal was just plain nuts.

(Jesus, listen to me...getting old!)

How fast you think they are going? That's crazy!

Yea, I was cringing every time I saw them get so lose to that outboard. Balls of steel.

I can't even imagine how a nail or splinter sticking up from the surface of the ramp would feel. I mean hitting the ramp barefoot would bad enough....

 

[Britboater]

That's super slick, but yes, I too was cringing when they got close to the outboard.

On your hands. Very cool, even keeping his shades on too.

Awesome video! Talent, strength, and skill. Looks like fun, I would die if I tried to do what they do...even in my prime.
