That's SMOKEN!!!
Yuri,
45's nuthing!, I had a friend in So-Cal that did off-shore speed skiing, now that mo' was CRAZY! :shock: Think about water-skiing behind a hugh off-shore race boat that is literally jumping (in open-ocean swell) out of the water at about 100mph... :finga: he was probably the strongest human (strength to weight ratio) I've ever meet. This fella had no-neck , dame thing was bigger then his head and looked like it sprang straight out of his shoulders which were SOOO hugh that he had to walk SIDEWAYS through door ways.
O.K., maybe a tency-wency little bit embellished! :^o

I wonder what that guys up-to these days or if he's even alive.
G.
