1. That does look fun!!

I've never seen such, but I would do that in a heartbeat!

[KyndCulture]

2. oh man! I'd do that too!

how fun would it be to roll over!

[Bullwinkle925]

3. i would try that as well.

woohoo
:woohoo:

4. Something about 'face-first' is making me wary of this 'sport'

With my luck I'll have a collision with a manatee coming up for air

[Lady Freedom]

18. Or think your it's type!

:spray: :yoiks: :wow:

[DS1]

19. Now that would just be porpoisely delusional

:yoiks:

5. Gannon has really fallen on hard times huh?

:bounce:

6. From the picture -- is is just me

or does it look like one might, ah, consume a lot of water doing that?

[Shell Beau]

7. Nah, haven't you ever tubed before?

You keep your head up and the pull of the boat kind of lifts the front part of your body up!

9. This was taken moments before his last failed attempt of

getting up Cheney's ass while Cheney was fly fishing :D

[Shell Beau]

17. Ha ha ha!

:rofl: Now THAT is what is scary.

[mattomjoe]

11. Yeah, I've tubed before

and not the leisurely kind of ride, more like the mechanical bull variety. Guess I'm just wondering what would happen when someone wiped out in one of those things. :evilgrin:

[Shell Beau]

14. Probably wouldn't be too pretty, but

I bet they'd get back on!! :)

[nickgutierrez]

8. That looks like a broken neck waiting to happen. n/t

[Shell Beau]

10. I don't see it as anymore dangerous than regular

tubing. Unless you get tangled up somehow in the tube. But that could happen with any type of water sport/recreation. There certainly are risks that follow anything like that, but damn, I bet it is fun!

:)

[nickgutierrez]

12. It's the shape that gives me pause

If I'm not mistaken, in a regular tube, you flip and that's it - this looks like it would almost force you into a face-to-face confrontation with the water if something goes wrong.

I could be wrong, though. :shrug:

[mattomjoe]

13. Yeah, that was my thought too

[tatertop]

15. Ohh, that would hurt

looks like there would be
no time to protect your head when something goes wrong

[Shell Beau]

16. Well usually people will let go when

something is happening. Your hands just give. And as soon as you let go, the momentum almost completely stops while the boat still is going for a second anyway. I do see what you mean though!
