Another epic FAIL!
I know it's really mean of me but the first time I played it, it was a bit worrying.
The second time it made me laugh.
The more I played just the wipeout frames the funnier it got.
I think it was the way the skipper just suddenly departed the scene.
Wimp! ![]()
How'd you get accelerator broken from that? Looks like it was going flat stick, hit a wake, lost control, digs edge in. Lucky not to roll right over. Guy does pump the throttle a few times but I reckon it's more like 'lookat my mad skillz' than anything else.
Straight to trauma I though his cable was broken cause he seem to back of the power and nothing happened?
Bad skipper imo - as soon as he noticed that he hit that first wave...then second, he should've dropped the throttle to a safer speed. At that speed it doesn't take much to lose it by side-swiping a wake (as mentioned). He's in charge of those passengers lives & should be more responsible or at least have the skills to know that the he either needs to slow down or turn into (or off) the wake.
My old runabout had cable steering & I did a very similar thing once coming down a decent wave, although the prob was that I didn't have enough power. The boat started to turn and nearly got rolled...came very close to throwing me out of the boat!
Actually this is a small vid that was taken from 2009 Poker run.
You'll see the fountain, mostly out the front but they would slow down for the others. Worst part was his old mans boat (yellow cat called Fourplay) was even quicker![]()
Sorry you got my adrenaline going again![]()
I thought id post one of my favourite offshore video's.
Just found online but have loved it long time![]()
Watch for the turn of speed at 1.40ish..Remember he is overtaking at maybe 65 to 70 mph boats at the time.
Myehhh ! I thought the first vid was much more watchable.
I don't know why.
I think it has a boat in it too.
Here,.. let me show you again.
