Snowmobiles run on water all the time. I was surprised and super impressed to see the jump, that trajectory landing on water at such a slow speed, and still power across.
Also have to keep in mind age of the video/sleds. Everyone is running across water on modern sleds. Wasn't nearly as common 11 years ago. And then to your point of the jump. That still today with current sleds would be a feat. These guys were well ahead of their time.
Well this is another one of those "holy crap time flies" RU-vid video reminders. Watched this 11 years ago when it was new. Still impressive today. These guys were animals.
Years ago my cousin drove his snow mobile across the Potomac river here in Maryland. He made it across just fine but coming back across from the west Virginia side to Maryland it must have sucked in water and stalled sinking in 18 feet of water. A few weeks later he found a diver to go down and hook a chain to it we eventually got it back.
I talk about this video alot. Most young guys who sled in Canada know this video. On the trails it will come up in talk and one day some guy even said oh that trever guys videos with the sleds jumping the boat eh. Legends..
