I think that if the conditions are right and he leans back just right, that he could make it.

I also think he's an idiot. Kind of like taking $6,000 in small, unmarked bills and tossing them into a river.

For one I'd like to see a yfz top out at 90, I give a modded one 80 but not 90 unless he has seriously changed the sprockets for top speed and not acceleration.

Second he's been watching too many heuvos videos where the guys run across water with sand tires front and rear.

I'm gonna agree and say no way. 20-30 feet I bet you could do it. But 150, no way. I thnk hes gonna run out of momentum and as soon as those front tires quit skimming the water, and sink even a little bit, he's gonna get tossed, hard.

It would be a shame for me to not offer to host the video of this catastrophe. So if you get one, PM me. LOL
