Do NOT try this at your local waterpark!

Searched for this and found nothing so I figured I would post it. Saw this video and was laughing. Got to admit it takes some guts. How many security people would be waiting for you at the bottom after this?

^Is that from a Mt. Dew commercial?

I saw the video and I was impressed by the stunts these riders were doing. I'm sure that these riders were professional stuntmen and probably trained long and hard to do stunts like that. Stuntmen like these dedicated their lives to understanding the risks involved, and no way should anyone else try them.

 

So I will enjoy the show, but don't ask me to duplicate those stunts. I'm a rider, not a stuntman.

 

But I got to admit, I love the hill flip!

There a video of this on youtube, they say there a water park stunt team, and they're the only kind of team in the world.

This was also posted in the amazing slides thread.

 

Those stunts are so insane. Even if they are professional stuntmen and they wear special suites for those stunts, I'm almost sure that once in a while they get hurt badly.

Yea I've seen this video before. It's on my favorites on Youtube. It's awesome.

I saw this before in fact I put that video up in the "Amazing water slide"

thread myself not to long ago.

Chuck Norris does all my stunts.

 

Well? Somebody had to say it! There's even a Walmart t-shirt now.

 

Those guys look like highly practiced and highly trained pro barefoot skiers or wake-boarders.

 

Boomerang Bay would bounce your butt for such ballistic buffoonery.

Wow that's crazy. Do you all think they only do these stunts on certain slides, or that they could do them at most waterparks?

[Angry_Gumball]

Ever heard of aggressive watersliding? I found some up on youtube back when the waterslide stunt got posted in the waterslide thread, not that I support any of the activities done. One was doing various stunts on a halfpipe slide and one was on those oldschool mat slides where people were doing mat grinds (on the lip of the slide), barrel rolls, and so on.

You should see them when they pour gasoline down the slide and light it! Now that is exciting!

[downunder]

Yeah I do that stuff all the time, doesn't everybody?

[TheRapidsNerd]

^ You are so my hero. I'm not worthy! I'm not worthy!

Chuck Norris does all my stunts.

 

WORST CHUCK NORRIS JOKE EVER.

 

The stunts were pretty cool, it would be insane if you could do it without getting seriously hurt if you fail.

Straight off a Walmart t-shirt. May pick that up after all.

Wow...that's one stunt that requires a lot of testicular fortitude, in my mind.

I have actually seen this show in the flesh, it was called the "Speed Slide Stunt Show" and was at Wet'n'Wild in Australia. Basically they would close the slide down for a period, and then do a bunch of cool and dangerous stunts. It ran for a number of years until the Speed Slide was replaced with an enclosed raft ride similar to Downhill Double Dipper at Blizzard Beach.

Attached is a photo my dad took ages ago on our first visit there.

Taken around 1994

Yeah, I've seen this video before. It's pretty amazing. And, someone said something about aggressive watersliding? Here's a video of it:

I watched the video and realized that one of the stuntmen is a friend of mine. I worked with him on a cruise ship. I've sent him an email to see if I can get more information to post here!
