yo, how fast do you have to be going to hydroplane over water on a fourwheeler, i think its like 45 or so
 
I don't know how fast I was going, but I came around a turn pretty hot in 3rd and hydroplaned off the trail and almost landed in a creek.
 
oh lol i bet that was scary ****, well i'm just wantin to try over a little pond or something like they do on some movies and stuff.
 
me and corey do it all the time i do it in 4th gear

or i can do it in 5th or 6th, not that difficult........lean back punch it and hold on, if thr front comes down it will throw you off, almost happened to me but it was soo much fun
 
please god dont try it!!!!!!!!! there are so many variables that can go wrong. lift a little too much, slight kick and you'll end up like me haha.

warriorspeed has it down... i suggest not doing it for 30 feet though haha. a lot can happen just make sure everything is right or you might end up hurt bad.

35-40 + mph is some scary **** when the bike kicks left and you fly another 25 feet.

just jump ****...you'll be happier
 
yeah ours is like four feet if that...lmao i dont guggest doing it accrost something you cant normally get acrost, like warriorxcr said....you will turn out just like him or worse

WEAR YOUR HELMETS
 
yea and it also helps if you hold in the front brake ONLY WHEN U ARE ON THE WATEr because they skim accross it i have did it before...
 
what in gods creation are you talking about....when your doing that im sure you will have soo much stuff going on you will forget and flip forewards

Im just telling you what i did and it worked... but i also had bald tires on and im also a big guy and it is kinda common sense cause if you think about it when the tires are spinning their gonna wannna dig down one time or another but if their locked up they have the water pressure holding you up
 
what happened to warriorspeed xcr? and i doubt i'ma do it for a very long distance lol

I was going to buy the 450 till i did some research and found that he had wrecked it lol sorry warrior
 
woah woah lol..... i didnt wreck anything except myself haha.

bike is in great shape. just a little pc taken off the bumper and the pro taps were bent.

had a concussion contusion on my brain seperated my shoulder, torn labrial muscle, tore some of rotator cuff, and various bruises and skin taken off.
