Looks like a good way to destroy your pants to me. I wanted to try this as a kid. That desire is with me no more.

I'd try that. It'd be interesting on an old wakeboard.

Helmet of course.

Surprised that kid made it down on his feet. My favorite was the last kayak 'cause they showed him hit the end better; never seen a kayak catch air like that. :2thumbs:
I think, if the bottom were deep enough, I would give it a try (not the kayak version, that was a bit much).

We used to do that at Diversion dam up Provo canyon. The spill off had to be just right but if there was enough water it would shoot you off the lip of the trough at the bottom. There was only one spot that you could do it at that had deep enough water to land in. Otherwise you would hit shallow jagged rocks. Its not that tall though.

I always wanted to do that to, in fact my father-in-law and I drove by a dam the other day and I told him how much it would be.......still think it would be fun!
