I tried in with stock tires 4th gear. I spun sideways and rolled 3 times from what my friend said never going to try that again. :lol: Good times

Big tires in front, the smoother the better, so as not to break the plane of the water. Keep moving. And paddles work better on the back, to propel you further.  :thumbs:

i have had my best luck going in 4th gear with my razrs. i'm thinking i will try it with my paddles up at silver lake this year. another good point to you other guys that are wanting to try this now. lol make sure that the trasition from land to water is as smooth as possible.  :thumbs:

make the transition smooth, big front tires, and make sure your tire pressure is even. lean as far back as possible and lift as hard as you can on the bars. and damnit dont let off the gas
