Fing idiots. Quick way to a short life, or messed up for life.
 
Never seen that before, but I’m interested....
 
Stuff like this is the reason for the saying "its all fun and games until someone losses an eye" but in this case it will more likely be a leg or arm.
 
Crazy and I am sure exciting. I don't get the swinging from the bridge. More work than fun.
 
Recently in the bay off of Ocean City Md a jet skier was buzzing another jet skier and landed on top of his ski. Their was one fatally . So it is ok to have fun however one should not endanger others and in the video I saw a number of unsafe acts from not wearing life vest to bussing fishing boats and folks on the beach. Other then that i enjoyed the video.[flag]
 
Live life like tomorrow will be your last day!!!!









And you will be right sooner than you think!!!
 
So what am I looking at here? Are they proud of the driving/piloting? The tiny boats with big motors? I don't understand it.

Maybe I'm just getting older and out of touch?
 
As the saying goes “There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, there are no old bold pilots".[flag]
 
Horrible music. I'd rather see a wreck compilation of these idiots crashing with heavy metal music! :D

I used to do some stupid stuff as a kid but never as dumb as those idiots. Wonder why insurance costs are what they are these days....
 
What's the problem? I drive a waverunner like that every time. I've driven boats like that too. That's when i put the kill switch on my wrist and wear a life jacket. I had a 12' fiberglass inflatable with a 15. I would have to drive from the middle to stabilize it when it was in the air while blasting through the ocean.
 
I can’t get the link in the original post to work but I don’t see what the problem is in the posted YouTube video. Looks like mad boat skills to me... and the jet ski in the YouTube vid, gee I’ve seen 12 year olds in jet ski races do more exciting moves...
 
"THAT'S JUST NUTS!!"

- says any 'tinny basher' looking at jet boaters making the Bimini crossing.

We all do foolish things to enjoy life.
(boats, bikes, wifes, kids.... you name it)
 
Oh well...They probably think our sub move is stupid also.
 
The youtube video doesn't seem too bad. The guy on the bridge is a moron.
