Not sure if you guys have seen this or not but it's pretty cool, i've done it on my snowmobile but i think my Beast is going to need way more power before i try it.

I've seen that. Very cool. It looked a little close on one of the runs...

Never seen it done on an ATV before.

That there is a perfect example of someone with too much money who doesn't care if his $8000 Raptor sinks to the bottom. ;)

Might be fun, but I like my toys functional and above water.

wonder how they got back to the other side? They always went the same direction.

I would have a hard time with a $1500 atv.

I'm with you on that.

A $1,500 ATV wouldn't go fast enough!

I figure daddy bought him the ATV so it does not cost him anything if it goes to the bottom of the lake or he's rich enough it doesn't matter.

It's amazing what enough beer can get you to do! 8O

What they don't tell you is the "lake" is only three inches deep! :lol:

That kinda what I was thinking. I bet it is shallow enough to cross at low speed. Still impressive to go that far on top of the water though.

I was thinking more like a foot or so, the splash at the end of that 1 run looks like it's more than 3" deep

Cool vid! Reminds me of the monster trucks at the mud bogs... The ones that do really well hit the mud at warp 9 and hydroplane across, the ones that go slow often mire down and get stuck. I agree with you on the Beast needing way more power to do that though, or way bigger tires! :D
