It's gotta be, but it was a well put together video.

Looks pretty real to me. Probably somewhere in Europe.

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:

Sorry fellas, ain't no way he travelled that far. The physics behind it are not there.

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.
