Ok, so i, like most others, absolutley despise tubers because all they do is mess up whatever bit of glass you might recieve while riding...HOWEVER...when i saw this, it in some small way commanded my respect for the simple fact of how incredibly awesome this is. See for yourself:

I am laughing so hard... it's almost better that it cuts away as he is flailing down 20 feet over the water...

We did that at my lake with my friends little brother. They have a round tube like that, maybe a little smaller, but completely flat. So we hooked up the tube to his tower one day when it was really windy, stuck his 12 yr old brother, who is about 110lbs, took him out, and all we had to do was whip him around a corner with the wind and he got like 15 feet of air then bailed hard. It wasn't as high as that guy, but it was still pretty high.

The other day we were in the lake and at a distance we could barely see a boat that had a bizarre black kite-looking thing tied to the back, as it came closer to us we saw it was kinda like a tube, but with cloth wings, it looked like a bat and it could fly for several seconds at a time at about the height of the one in the video. It was the first time I said tubing was cool.
Did you see at the end of the video it said tubing team!! LOL who makes a tubing team?!?! Smash

has anybody ever tried barrel roles with the tubes we used to do it all the time great fun. another fun thing when the water is choppy is right where the idle speed part end in the river when all the big cruisers start going you launch somebody in a tube into there wake and they go flying.

I love barrel rolls on tubes, thats only thing remotely redeeming about tubes.

integrity640, those sumo tubes are completely retarded, the guy that lives across the lake from me has one, and I have to watch when ever it gets used. This is the same guy that fishes from a SEA-DOO. Laughing
