woody Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 Found this on Youtube - arena type event from 80s Around 8 minutes in is priceless. Some of this wouldn't be allowed these days. Risk assement would demand frogmen on standby, riders must wear breathing apparatus, the pool must be drained, bikes must have airbags for buoyancy - and then health and safety would not allow it anyway as too dangerous to participants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02-apr Posted September 19, 2010 Report Share Posted September 19, 2010 Only watched a wee bit. Couldn't be done on a modern bike though, such is "progress". I wonder if anyone got round to bending the nose of that guy who insisted on shouting through a megaphone in to the ear of the guys who fell off.

kramit Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Absolutely Classic Video. When the guy falls off the ramp/bed frame coming out of the pool and gets his foot stuck, I just about laughed out of my chair......love it!!!
