Drewculous - 27-1-2010 at 11:46 AM

looks like it'd be a fun sport... as long as you are in the boat... and not in the path of the boat

HOLY CRAP !!!

Their lucky to still have thier heads after hitting that fence.

Wow, not me. Boats don't turn like cars. To much slipping and sliding. Those guys are good even if they do crash.

I've watched that video several times and I still can't see the duck :puzzled:
There's a place in Rotorua, NZ with like skydiving machines, zorbs and stuff ... they also have a mini jetboat sprint thingy circuit you can passenger in. Obviously not up to the speed of the real comps but still a rush - I think the wife pissed herself :lol:

Kami I think he's saying duck out of the way, not an actual duck. :wink2:

Uh? :puzzled: :lol:
By mainland do you mean the South Island?
And you don't eat Kiwi cos they are really endangered. You don't even joke about eating Kiwi :lol:

rocfighter - 29-1-2010 at 05:50 AM

NOOOO !!!! :embarrased:
I mean USA. And we don't eat Plover either. They are endangered here and they close all the beaches every spring during nesting. And spring is when the winds are best. So they have bumper stickers saying :
"Plover, Tastes like chicken" Tasteless but funny.

Kamikuza - 29-1-2010 at 06:35 AM

So if USA is the mainland, where are you talking about :lol:
I've heard about the Plover ... sounds like the American Panda to me - an evolutionary disaster :D

rocfighter - 29-1-2010 at 06:47 AM

Pandas, Mountain Gorrillas, Wolves, Polar Bears, Whales, and I'm sure I'm missing thousands more around the world. They are all in jeopardy due to our own importance.
