That one water hole looks popular lol. The one in all those videos is all the same place right? I did it a few times but only like 10 fet and becuase I had too. I am still not that confortable on a sled to try it on purpose.
If you cant fix it with duct tape, tylnol, or band aids your screwed.

You SRV would make it- used to have that sled plenty of power. I actually used to have a old picture of 3 people stuffed onto a SRV crossing water.

Have never actually crossed water, but I have crossed ditches that were flooded. The only reason I have never done it is because I really haven't had a good opprotunity. If I saw the chance I would do it.
me too, but when i see the chance to cross lots of water, ill use someone else's sled

my friends and myself go to this place called the ismus it is open all winter i had a formula z, my friend mark had a 97 formula 3, my friend james had a 79 citation and my other friend robert was on a 4 wheeler i had never skipped and neither did my friend james mark did all the time , so mark went across a few times so my friend james said he was gonna do it on his citation , the citation had a pair of vice grips for a throttle but he did it like 3 times so i figured if he could do it on his 79 then i could do it on my 583. that was the first time i did it .
The gap was about 200 yards

well thats good news but now i know im going to have to test it. guess we'll see what happens
Bambi would have been a better and shorter movie if he was shot in the beginning with his mother
if a ride on lawn mower takes bumps better than your sled, its time to upgrade

it was tight. this one time i put 89 octane instead of 87 and my sled went like 60 times faster and i could water skip because it went really fast. i recomend 89 or 91 to anyone.

Me and my buddy's went riding up in lake country with a guy that he works with and he brought me straight to water. I think it was a dare thing to see if he could scare the #@%# out of me and yes it worked. But I went across probably six times. 100 yd stretch. To this day I still think I had the wet farts. It really isnt that bad.

Quote originally posted by 98_polaris_indy_500 ahhh hahaha i've had a lot of good times over at trout. lol hell yeah! for those of you that don't know, the trout river coming into lake vermilion makes the most popular skipping spot in mn, hundreds of people go there every weekend from when it opens til the ice is almost gone during spring. definitely the best spot i know of to skip that much open water, it's only a few feet deep at most.
