Great picture! I've done it several times when I had my 02 raptor 660 until my front right wheel dipped down and I went over the bars. Luckily? it was at the end of the pond. We both went rolling several times, me ahead of the raptor, and it landed on me. It hurt. I don't do it anymore! LOL! I wish I had pics, though. There's a lot of stupid stuff my son and I have done that I wish I had video or atleast pics of so I can laugh. Not going to do any of it again....guess I'm getting old!

I am definitely going to try this as soon as I get a faster quad. I race dirt bikes and I think it would be a little harder to do it on a dirt bike and my LT 125 doesn't have a chance,
but I know a guy that's going to sell me a bad *** YFZ 450 with all the bells and whistles made for quad war racing for only 2500 bucks and a fresh motor.

I have seen a few people do it on dirtbikes and quads at silver lake, but the water was only about 3' deep...but still plenty to throw you over the handle bars and flood your machine out. I dont think that is something I will ever try, but I like watching other go for it..lol!</end quote></div>

The reason you can do that at speed is because of the hydrogen bonds in the water. Basically, the harder to push against the water the harder it pushes back. Try this, gently place your hand into a sink, tub, etc. then slap the water as hard as you can. Feel the difference? that's the hydrogen bonds trying to keep you from breaking the surface tension.
