OMFG..!!! Flying Innertubes.!?

[Chili327]

Has anyone seen these before..?

I'm going camping/wakeboarding this weekend & we we're looking into possibly something new & exciting for the trip & this is what we found...

 

There are a few other types out there, but this MantaRay is the shyt.!!

MantaRay -

 

(ALL flying tubes are illegal in most places now, & can only be bought on ebay)

[RNG187]

if the james bond series was a "B" movie, THAT's what it would look like,

[Chili327]

Crazy shit, right.!!

Yea those are over the lake I stay at....best part is seeing someone bite it from up in the air doing about 35mph into the water....lol........

[HippieChik]

That cannot be even remotely "safe." NO THANKS! That just looks like some is asking to be seriously injured.

[Playerdown]

LOL. yeah that would be fun until it flipped upside down. I worked with a guy who lost all of his front teeth hitting the water face first on skis.

These things actually have hurt quite a few people.

 

If you notice in the vid, very few show em "stable", or landing. Mostly they just cut the scene.

 

I have rode on an aftermarket Ray, and while it was fun, I could see it getting deadly quick. It would take little to nothing for the wind to catch you and land you on the bank at 40 mph.

I think I would give it a shot. Looks like one hell of a rush.

Yeah, that hurts!! I rode one for an afternoon right after they came out. Needless to say, the thing sat on the beach the rest of the weekend. Nobody wanted a second day of welts and bruises. While it is a rush, it does get scary in a hurry.

I'd just go para-sailing. It's fun, you fly, and it's a shit ton safer.

UM, I used to ride on an innertube tied to the back of a truck driving on snow covered gravel roads, and the "fun" part was wrestling to through each other off the tube onto the road, or into a snow bank. I once broke a 10' Pine tree off after they took a turn and the tube I was on went out into the snow.

 

You think a little water is scary? Please people have some balls. You probably actually think lawn darts should still be out lawed?!

Thats why they are NOT leagal on most lakes & they stopped making & selling them.

 

There are lots of videos of people crashing.. the thing is if you keep it at a simple rate of speed it will mostly just catch a little air, but if you go faster it will catch more air. (speed depends on boat & weather) you just have to figure out what speed that is for your boat on that day

LOL. I've been truck sledding with those old metal disc sleds. I know some of you guys remember those. Anyways we used to do that, but never tubes.

 

And water at 40+ HURTS. Same as concrete man.

[UNCLE-SID25]

Looks fun... But I am not getting on anything that gets more than 6' out of the water, that I have to blow up. lol

Thats like riding an inflatable motorcycle going 40 miles an hour... It will be fun, until you crash... and you WILL crash.

[DK_Deadly_Intent]
