Skramp Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 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? http://www.break.com/index/waterslide-stunts.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 ^Is that from a Mt. Dew commercial? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmerleeberry Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrazed49 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groteslurf Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 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.

zeke11793 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Yea I've seen this video before. It's on my favorites on Youtube. It's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkStitch626 Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I saw this before in fact I put that video up in the "Amazing water slide" thread myself not to long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRapidsNerd Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I'm a rider, not a stuntman. 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.

SFjunkie2010 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 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.

voodoobones Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 You should see them when they pour gasoline down the slide and light it! Now that is exciting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the sound Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movieguy Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Wow...that's one stunt that requires a lot of testicular fortitude, in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Yeah, I've seen this video before. It's pretty amazing. And, someone said something about aggressive watersliding? Here's a video of it: ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taytig Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 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! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
