    During big swings in flow here on the Ark. river a lot of the sand bars end up with pools on them that range from 3ft - 40ft across. We used to mount an oversized skid plate under 185s and 200s. Basically aim it like a gun acrosss the water. Get haulin arse and hang the f*!K on at WOT. Usually made it across really fast but the dismount was a trailprotrailprotrailprotrailprotrailpro! :-D

    There was an issue of Dirtwheels mag a while back that had a Banshee with a hull-like skidplate on it and he skipped over 100 feet until he lost momentum and went swimming.

    Back in the day there was a sand pit we use to ride at and in the middle of it was collected rain water or a so called pond and all the guys use to "hydroplane"(as they would call it ) across the entire pond which was a pretty good size pond and a good couple or more feet deep when asked their technique they said too go as fast as you could hitting the pond in 5th gear never shifting into 6th gear and leaning back and sitting on the back of the seat all they guys I seen accomplishing this were all riding 1985/86 250r ATC .
