Extreme Tubing:eek: I tried it with my old Scarab running about 50mph and turn hard . It usually tore up the tube though.No ski tow on the Hustler.

We had some big 'offs' pulling behind a 3 seater PWC at full throttle, and then a full throttle hard turn. No where near the air those guys were getting, (sick), but definately some high speed 'human skipping.' :eek:

Cool video,

Ouch, the thrill/pain scale looks like its even though.

let me know when you do it so I can come watch ;) haha

That's awesome. I'm surprised they didn't shread the tube. Nice blowovers. :cool:

When the water warms up need to barrow someones tube. I have picture somewhere of a buddy bare footing behind my old scarab with the blower motor in it:eek: :eek: :D

We used to ski behind my 30 Scarab. we pulled a friend's dad at 65mph on his 65th birthday. He was and still is a tough guy.:)

ROB I HAVE THATS 96" WIDE, I'LL BRING IT TO FL WHEN WE GO:D

For a real thrill, atttach a bungee cord to the ski/tow line and then give them a good whip. Then watch the show. :eek: :D Attach the cord at the tube end of the rope.

I have more than a dozen of those one person round tubes.... 90$ MSRP, 50 for one, 75 for two :D

That kind of tubing is fun, especially when you go a few feet off of the beach (early morning) and try to throw the tuber up the shore.

I pull tubes behind my 34 SCARAB

OH the agony :D :crazy:

Jeesh,

Those tubes werent being pulled any faster than 35 ish.

We used to tube in the mid 60mph zone twenty five years ago. Those kids on the vid are wusses. They can't hold on.

We'd flip upside down and barrel roll and still would be hanging on with the tube riding on top of our bodies. We made our own special handles and bridles for the truck tubes we used. Made our own gloves, too, with metal in the palm for hanging on with.

We wore vinyl foam Connelly or Cypress Garden vests that would someties get peeled down around our thighs like condoms when we crashed.

I'm sure I've got some super 8 home movies from good ole 1977.

I don't, however, have a video of me getting slung 4 feet outside of a metal nun channel marker on a tube at high speed. That was odd...

I grew up where we made our skis and sleds and the tubes we used were off a tractor. We would go in circles until the wake was huge in the middle and then sent the tuber thru it. We had people flying 50 ft and more. They say when you whip you are going twice as fast as the boat:eek: The best whips usually stall the boat but by that time you would have been thrown off. My dad sent a guy into a tree and he broke ribs also.:eek: I didn't get my first concave ski until I was 10, we used plywood skis my dad made, they were nice looking but still wood. He made a tobaggan out of the same wood and when the nose went under on that it would take you right to the bottom.
