I'm game for this but I don't know of any lake's in alberta where you would be allowed to do it ... I have been wanting to do it for years ... got an m8 just begging for a riponly pussies put their sleds away for summer. Water temp is just right for skipping boys. strap on a bucket where your seat is and a couple hundred feet of rope, tape up the seams and hit the water, no need for a boat. Columbia, Thompson, Marble....just to name a few of the good spots.....

I just always thought that it was a big no no cause if they sink .. the oil and gas ... but I guess there is no real difference between that and a boat .... ok I have talked my self into it let's go who's filmingCurious why would it not be allowed on a lake?

Well I'm at bvj this week so maybe next days off .... thanks for all the adviseIf anyone gives you grief about it, ask them where they think all the bilge water from all the boats is pumped? no difference than a 2 stroke jet ski sinking or a big fancy boat hauling 200 gallons of diesel fuel and pumping its bilge out. No sh!t its not designed for it. LOL funny as fawk though!
have run on little ponds that are not connected to major tributaries or water bodies. Its a big adrenaline rush going out on deep water but the consequence is bigger and a lot harder to recover the sled (diver). Also risk more waves. 6 ft deep "ponds" like old river channels are great, usually no waves and decent exit/entry approaches.
I maybe could have been persuaded but I'm heading out to the cabin for a couple weeks, sorry. Pick a good steady approach for entry and exit, tape all seams on the belly pan, biggest nemesis is getting water on the clutches, belts spins and you go down. suck in front suspension and the arms won't induce as much drag if they hit, tie a rope and a milk jug with a long leader (ideally longer than the lake is deep if you know what I mean....LOL). if you start to go down, shut the sled off asap and it won't suck in as much water. If you do drown it, flip it upside down and get it fired back up, otherwise it will rust internally. If you get ballsy and are out with boats, keep in mind that water craft (i.e. boat) rules apply so you will need to apply whoever has the proper right of way etc. Wear a PFD pls.
Two last things....1) make sure you get it on film 2) don't forget the swim trunks!
