-random guy on a bridge in miami...

Has anyone been/heard of anyone having a close encounter with a gator/croc while riding? I remember someone mentioned something about Manzari, but other than that?

I fell a couple years ago about 5 feet from what looked to be a pretty big gator. It made eye contact with me and submerged. Consequently i took an aqua dump

kyle, It might be enough to read it and have it floating around in your subconcious to make you react that way should the worst happen Wink

I'd like to think Im and calm collected person...and trust me, if my arm was in a gators mouth two things would happen. 1.) I would cuss in my head and 2.) I would judo chop it's face... nothing more nothing less

Wouldn't a submerged gator be more potentially dangerous than a surfaced gator?

it's bulljive that a gator or croc can only run 10 miles per hour on land. they can run about 30 miles for short distances. that article doesent seem to legit.

on the delta water ways of northern cali all i have to worry about is drunken boaters, dead bodies in duffle bags, amoebas, muscle heads on steroids, deadly chemicals, mutated fish, oil in the SF bay, tree humpers throwing stones at me, objects resurfacing, and DBAY MILFS trying to touch my special place. And i think that about sums it up.

screw gators, water moccasins scare me the most, and turtles that pretend to be snakes and pop up right next to you and make you shizzle your pants, then submerge as they laugh

waterdork88, He was attacked when he fell wakeskating... landed right on it.

It latched onto his arm and tried to go into a death roll.

Luckily it was only 7 inches long and only left minimal bite marks and mostly just scared the shít out of him.
