It is easy to hate on Blake, but he does some rad stuff. Love that car
True, but if he also crashed on land which would be a real possibility in that thing no belts would be dangerous as hell too. Basically tossing a coin on where you think youre going to end up lol.Pretty cool till I saw the seat belt harnesses in the boat that's a great way to drowned if that boat rolls over and with the shit he runs that boat through its bound to happen!

Love the video but social media is going to get all this good shit taken away from us..........
I would rather get thrown out on the dirt rather then drowning!!!!!!True, but if he also crashed on land which would be a real possibility in that thing no belts would be dangerous as hell too. Basically tossing a coin on where you think youre going to end up lol.
What exactly did everyone see in that video that was so disturbing?
Runnng over some reeds? Crossing a dirt embankment?
I can show you 100’s if videos of aluminum boats jumping beaver damns and running back waters..
Maybe the problem isn’t so much the video but people’s “willingness” to accept that things can be taken away from them out here.. about the time the populace says “you aren’t going to do that anymore” is about the time that will stop.. literally immediately.
Sounds crazy but it’s the truth. Stop saying it’s ok, and they’ll stop doing it.
I think the main complaint with the videos is not what is being done, it's the fact that videos like this give the enviro-nazis "ammunition" to use against us. They can very easily use something like this to portray the entire off-road/boating community as all people who do what is shown. See it regarding Glamis all the time.
It helps illustrate the extreme and it gets shown to the uneducated on the topic that it is the norm instead of the exception. As a result, the push to stop it gathers that much more backing to the point where we have no choice but to accept the consequences because the government made the decision due to public pressure. That's a real problem.
Again, it becomes an issue of self-policing and just because there are those that can take things to the "in your face" extreme doesn't mean they should. The rest of us probably shouldn't be too encouraging of it either.
He off-roaded on existing trails and ran over some reeds..
I’m not seeing the large environmental impact here?
You don't have to. And neither do the enviro-nazis. All they see is the extreme "go tear it up and fuck everything" mentality that is portrayed and apply it to all of us. Doesn't help our cause.
Also doesn't help that this guy has the reputation for giving the law the finger down in San Diego or whatever, put public safety at risk, and ran his car all over the streets in a reckless manner. That reputation reflects on the rest of us and the other side is all to willing to use it against us to further their position.
Not saying I agree with it or like it, but it is the way it is.
How about we say to stop the dipshit crap like this that gets things shut down?? I'll guarantee you that some of those "backwaters" are no wake zones he's jumping islands from. Do you remember Speed Alley? Of course you don't. How about when Devils Elbow wasn't a no wake zone? Nope, didn't think so.What exactly did everyone see in that video that was so disturbing?

That's got to be hell on that boats paint job!
I enjoyed all of the videos.
Is it me or does he look like a modern day Spiccoli?
Aluminum on the bottom, sides looked wrapped to me

You guys have no clue.. this kid is in top of his game and has no fear.. if he hurts it kills himself he does it doing what he loves and what most people dream of. He was just up here in oregon for UTV Takeover in the north bend dunes. My best friends kid hung out, rode and showed him around our dune. Blake is a class act and stand up guy. Hard to find people like him these days!!
Haters gonna hate!!

Actually most of them (not sure about that one) have UHMW screwed to the bottom of them covering the aluminum.
That is exactly what the opposition says that is trying to close everything.
