I think we need to build one of these to use at the next VCDL picnic. I'm next, right after Speedy (HeroHog) :mrgreen: :eek:

That might be doable but I would suggest the landing area be a lake rather than a small pool. Then I might even try it.

I sure have my doubts. Note the dummy on the ground near the end of the jump. It is, however, very well done. I always loved slip n slides as a kid!

Speedy's got a cool helmet and I'm sure I can rent a neoprene suit pretty cheap. Who's gonna build that ramp :hysterical:

Yup. The other thing is there is very very little chance for him to stay right in the middle of a narrow ramp like that. I'm wondering how many times they shot this before they got it right. I cant find an explanation of how they did it.
