Lake skimming

[Cavman]

Is it possible to cross a lake on an ATV where the water is 15 feet deep?
Pretty amazing!

To watch and want to see someone not quite make it?

Would never of believed it .although I've seen snowmobiles do water crossings of considerable lengths .

They key is keeping the vehicle and wheel speeds up as high as you can get them... and then wishing for more!
I used to skip my snowmobile across open water whenever the need presented itself... Scary as the first couple of times you do it!
I didn't think that an ATV could do it though; the way that their undercarriage is shaped, they'll auger in real quick if things go sour! At least a snowmobile is pretty streamlined and the belly pan is shaped a lot like the bow of a boat.

That was great, I enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for sharing.

watched more of them after and noticed that they are two wheel drive high RPM machines. They even had a side by side.

Does sound like a new event to replace ditch jumping at Lamonts BBQ? I know Forrest won't try it, affraid he will go into limp mode again.
