Nice Riding, but.....

[FlightPlanDan]

Just saw an episode of "Whacked out sports". (re-run I'm sure). But I'd never seen it b4.
"big air episode".
Guys were riding the rapids 50 yards upstream of Niagra Falls.
That's ballsy!
Anyone seen this? I think I saw a double BR and a lot of other tricks.
Whoever it was....wow!

Dude,what's up!

 

[jeepinxj]

I saw that too double roll was sick!!!! Im prety sure the show just said that about niagra for more drama. Dont quote me tho.

 

[ksarge91]

Those are the riders for sure. Not all of that vid was in the show!

Devil's Hole, it's not 50yds from the falls, it's quite a bit further up. Quite a few people on her have ridden it.

A little "dramatic freedom" with the facts, I guess! That's T.V. for ya. But still, it was cool to be watching and......hey! those are Stand-up jet ski's!

I thought devils hole was down stream from the falls down stream of the whirlpool...

I'm not sure. I'm going by what tey said on the T.V. show. I really know nothing about that area.
Although, I visited the falls, as any good american or canadian should!

Looks like a serious "don't let go" kinda spot!

 

[ADDict]

I want to ride it. I hope to make a trip up there in the next couple years.

its down stream from the falls, you cant ride there anymore, instant like $10,000 fine, a local burlington rider was there a couple years back and got hit in the head my another ski (mike jenson), almost died, so its been made illegal to even launch any where near it

the malone clip is from the rampt dvd

 

[Captain PegLeg]

you mean they still make those things?!?!

ouch. Hate to see any spot taken away. But, people get hurt more in their own bathrooms.
Hope the rider came out of it O.K.

I thought you could still launch on the Canadian side but they Canadian Coast Guard has signs if you launch they are not coming to help you...

 

[Idok]

isnt that where jawbreaker lost his ski?

 

[cattledog]

i know somebody lost a ski, and if it wasnt for jason stoyer we would have lost a life, he saved mike jansen
