I shot this footage of my friend a few weeks ago at Lake Nacimiento....while sitting in a tube 10 feet in front of him. Anybody else ever tried this? I had the idea for awhile, just had to get up the nerve (and the beers) to try this little stunt. Since it was so bouncy in the tube and I was fighting to hold onto my expensive camcorder, we had to go a little too slow for him to pull off any cool tricks, but the footage is still pretty cool. My wife was supposed to tape me next since I can jump higher and take it w2w, but the ride was too sketchy for me to want her to risk it. As it was, I had to lean forwards whenever we were starting and throw myself back a bit whenever we stopped to keep from getting pitched into the water...plus I held on with one hand while facing backwards, in order to tape. I had a ziplock bag over the camcorder as a sort of half-hearted attempt to keep the water out...wish we had an old junky camcorder to bring along for stupid stunts like this.
