yean, drowing your quad is not the end of the world

Watch it close , you will see a guy with a boom on the right side going right in after the guy hits the water.. I say if you get it fast its not going to hurt much . Not much worse than a good deep water hole.. About the same as practice in a foam pit, ( NOT ) like I could ever dream of doing it , but think I would practice in the water before foam . :D Plus they might have some little hotties catchn some rays while they watch next to the water !!:devil: LOL

[ATC_KING]

i didnt see that the first time around.

So you would take a quad that has thousands of dollars of parts into it and dump it into a lake?

[250r4life]

lol... thats pretty funny...



i think it would be a pain in the butt, and would never do it, but....

it would take some work, but what all is it really going to ruin? obvioulsy you would have to spend some time on it before starting it again ;)

[rancherrider69]

it didnt wreck the quad they had like 4 different ppl jump it in and as fer the guy that would rather jump into water than foam if they woulda showed steve get knocked out u wouldnt be saying that

who cares about what happened to the quads...i give these guys tons of credit for commiting to back flip a 350 - 400 pound quad
anybody who has tried a backflip on anything with wheels will know what im talking about, you have be be committed 100% the whole time if you plan on rotating..

What was that song?

[Hammer trx450r]

The water will take its toll on the bearings, definatly taking time off the life of the motor.

I'm pretty sure that is the least of their worries.

[Shift_450R]

[ATC_KING]

I was just making a statement. But many thanks for that information, I been running water in mine and could not for the life of me figure out why it kept locking up.
