Baller BraceMaker Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'd wager less stupid than jumping over outboard motors from side to side. Picturing teeth into the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Dacon62 Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 Looks like fun. Plateform in no danger of becoming a tooth holder. Seen it done a few times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mwetskier Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 surprisingly safe other than the usual potential injuries from a barefoot face plant. theres no danger of a barefooter hitting his face on a barefoot boom and thats a lot closer to his face to begin with than the platform. if he caught a toe by the time his face was down near his feet the boat would have traveled at least 10 feet away.

Baller Orlando76 Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 Stupid. I agree the boat should be gone bybthevtime his face were to plant but still seems like he should splatter on the platform. And then there's the whole carbon monoxide issue that I'm not so certain I entirely agree with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ScottScott Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'd say that these guys have spent a lot of time breathing carbon monoxide, that damage has already been done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Fast351 Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 I do that for surfing in the spring once in a while when the water is still in the low 40s. But you start at 5 MPH, not 40. Pretty sure I wouldn't try it at that speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller andjules Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 Believe it or not, technically it's not stupid, as @mwetskier points out: you'll never hit the platform. About 30 years ago I skied with a guy who instead of doing a swim-platform-step-off would do a swim-platform-jump-out (hop with both feet at the same time). Very freaky to watch. But again, despite the fears, you'll never hit the platform. And no, at 40mph, the exhaust isn't coming out, under the platform, and then making a right-angle vertical turn to poison the skier with carbon monoxide ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller oldjeep Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 Only danger I see there is if the boat driver dropped off the gas fast, otherwise at that speed there is no way he is going to hit that boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klindy Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Growing up on a public lake we used to barefoot like that all the time. Regardless of the lake conditions it's the smoothest water around! Fell a few times but never even felt like you'd hit the platform. Only real risk if hitting the platform is when you're actually stepping on or off. Like someone else said, barefooters never hit the boom and you're much closer to that. As far as exhaust, I'll bet the CO levels are far higher when wake surfing at slower speed. Years ago we'd have occasion to trick ski with Sally Monnier and she would put on her trick ski on the platform. Once the boat was up to trick speed she'd step off the platform and her father Cecile would let out the rest of the rope. She'd ski an entire practice set typically without falling and her father would pull her back into the boat. It was obvious that they did this frequently.

Baller dvskier Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 Yeah I've seen that before. It surpassed redneck by a mile. I guess ghost surfing has wrecked a few "daddy's boats"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller teammalibu Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 When we did the platform thing we hooked the handle to the rear lifting eye and did a deepwater stare with our feet on the back edge of the platform! warm water from the exaust felt great on a cool fall day!

Baller Ralph Lee Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 I'm sure you wouldn't hit the dock but I'd like to see some proof. Does anyone have a video of someone barefooting that close and crashing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller BlueSki Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 @dchristman, I would love to see the last 10 seconds of that bow camera footage (assuming of course that the only damage was to the boat and the rocks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporting Member Than_Bogan Posted September 13, 2016 Supporting Member Share Posted September 13, 2016 As I pointed out last time that ghost video surfaced, they obviously recovered the camera. And yet they somehow don't have video of a massive boat crash?? Simplest explanation is someone hidden in the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dchristman Posted September 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 13, 2016 @Than_Bogan Yes, most likely fake. I regret re-posting it and helping to contribute to the creator's YouTube income.

Baller wilecoyote Posted September 14, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 14, 2016 Had me fooled, but now you mention it, makes sense that it's a fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Roger Posted September 14, 2016 Baller Share Posted September 14, 2016 Probably is a fake, but the boat did seem to be programmed to travel in a large circle, so I guess he could have just waited for it to run out of gas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
