The libtards are going to have a field day with this video. Jezuz H Christ.


I can just see this being played in court to a judge.

Your honor, this area NEEDS to be closed to protect it from these crazy off roaders!!!

Close it down permanently. Next case...

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.

They are quick release and if you are gonna have a cage and be running the thing across dirt like that you are better off with them.

All the little sorint boats and river race boats run them and a cage. Different type of boat

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.

Rad video as usual from him. I wish I was at Body Beach to watch. Although, I am surprised he keeps it up after the San Diego shit show.

He off-roaded on existing trails and ran over some reeds..

I’m not seeing the large environmental impact here?

I never heard of him before.

But that was a great little vid.

I loved the way his trailer towed so nicely behind him off road.

This was a nice break in the action ...

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!!

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.

And the kid will own up to his shit and face the consequences when they arise. Not try and run from them or hire a lawyer to get out of them like most would!

Hands down a class act

Keep doing what you do blake!!

That video was awesome! I don't see the issue with the environmental thing, the environmentalist could probably make a better case against the big HP boats in Havasu and the negative impact those have on the environment, although I don't agree with that either.

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.

I feel like the odds of being able to get out underwater are much better than the odds you surviving a tumble on land while hanging 1/2 way out of it. Not to mention he’s already on top of it with air.

Have you ever been around sprint boats? It takes boating to a whole new level. They all where harnesses. Totally different world then doing 120mph in a basically straight line acrossed a lake.

Ohh and yes, they are jets ;)

So he was the kid that did the infamous SanDiego video with the bug bodied off road car. Loved that one, he got some heat over it.

Cool video but I wish he would keep his talent off-road so he can keep doing cool stuff.

That video is pretty much Exhibit One for the prosecution from 3:08 to 3:20. Wheelies on a public roadway is slam dunk reckless driving.

And given he already had one plea and conviction for this type of stuff a judge will not be very happy and he could be looking at losing driving privileges for a long period of time.

Let’s hope they ignore it and let it slide. And let’s hope someone pulls that talented young man aside and gives him some helpful advice on how to couple using your head with doing cool shit.
