this might also make people mad as well, thats why im sharing it with the old folks of this forum. may people, along with the young adult that is being talked about, build snowmobile purposely for this and this only. TO GO ACROSS OPEN WATER. lol get over it. it is fun and no 1, not even the law officials will stop these kids. have fun trying, it will get you nowhere.

Clearly you (or he depending

) was obviously not that good at it... Maybe a different past time may be in order.

Being a past "skimmer" myself, looking back on it now in my thirties with a wife, kids, a company to run and responsiblities it was not the smartest thing to do. Quite frankly, just plain dumb. This does not even account the dangers that othres are put in to pull your sorry azz out when you don't make it. You (or your friend) will grow up some day.

Smart enough to cross open water on a sled, but not smart enough to use enough gas. Brilliant. He must be wicked smaht.
And no, most people do NOT skim. Most people are smart enough to avoid the open water on a sled. I have been riding for over 10 years, with thousands of miles under my belt, and I have never crossed open water. Not once. But I guess I am not most people, right?

OK hero. Have fun on the open water. Next time, make sure you and your buddy have enough gas.
Hey, I have an idea...how about having all this fun at an actual watercross event? I will look for you guys at Petersons Farm next October.

Perhaps a wise idea. At least then when (if?) you sink, there'll be somebody standing by to rescue you.

You sir, are a genious!

oh and there is a reason he put a small amount of gas in his sled. he figured if he did sink he didnt want the lake water to ruin the gas in his sled. he wasnt worried about polution of the lake, but rather than ruining a half of a thank of gas. i sit here and laugh at how mad ppl get over this stuff, he will be riding a black 03 edge x at the farm if you see him, make sure you introduce yourself. he will probably enjoy chatting with you about how you think skimming is so bad and how it could put soooo many innocent bystanders in grave danger. just make sure the kids are home and the wife is safe. you wouldnt want them getting hurt while being around such a dangerous event.

It is now confirmed, you (and him if he truly is someone else) are a flaming idiot!
