Not the best picture in the world but that is the duck pond at funwheeler park in Longview Tx. It's estimated with the rain that the pond has spots over 12' deep. Let me know what you think?
link- www.ansley.net Look at some guy floating.
Only bike to be seen crossing the pond that day.

Hey H20
Yep saw it with my own two eyes. This guy floats like a boat. If you get a chance you've gotta hook up a trolling motor. That would be too cool.

ALL ATVs FLOAT!
Some float the right way, others upside down, but they don't sink!
I have a mag where a dozen guys had a river ride (they would go along the river from the sea and up 50km), sometimes they could cross the water water wheeliing, but other, they just "swam" pushing their upside down quads.
Their quads were scramblers, banshees and warriors (maybe also a Blaster...butnot sure about this one)

First off are you "h2o"? Second I was there and that is my site! Here is the full link to it:

http://www.ansley.net/pic.php?image=...e_floating.jpg

This dude has 1 football, 1 basketball, and 1 boat float all shoved up his front frame. The quad floats with him on it. I would say at times he was over an easy 15 feet of water. This guy was a riot to watch.
