I adored riding the mantaray before it was banned! All of my horseback riding and bull riding friends never had any issues. You just have to know how to ride amd hope a gust of wind doesn't take you out!
the main problem is if the boat stops too fast you can fly into the boat, thats what was breaking backs/necks and killing people. But yeah i rode one one time, it was amazing, and then i crashed into the water, and that was fun too. But i can see how carelessness with something like this can lead to death.
when these first came out three people died in one summer where we take my wake boat, several people has severe and permeant spinal injuries, and no one wore a helmet so concussion city! They were thee most ridiculous and expensive come and go summer toy I've ever seen!
Patrick Swayze I know right?? We wake board also on my dads boat, (different laws over here, can’t drive certain sized engines until you’re a 18 unless having someone eh is fully licensed And over 18). We bought one but I ride bmx,and snowboard so I’m used to wearing helmets, so we started off slow, getting a little faster as we got more confident and used to it, but we be slight movement and you can hit the water from 20 plus feet at high speeds, which actually broke my collar bone! My dad has been into barefoot skiing, waterskiing and now wake also for many years, and after the had a bad fall we never took it out again! But the point I’m making is that as after with your opinion that these idiots not wearing helmets are asking to end up with severe head trauma!
Wow, glad I read your review lol. Makes sense. Ppl really underestimate the water especially when it comes to concussions. I used to go to a summer camp that had “the blob”. I used to get severe headaches after being launched on that thing.
James Glenn what country are you in bud? Here in Aus you can get your boat licence at 16 I believe? Glad to see you have a smart head on you young fella, good to hear 👊🏼 I skydive, paraglide, paramotor, often fly planes at the drop zone and local charter flights for a friends company, but my point is even when I’m just ground handling my wing I still wear a helmet regardless if it’s on sand or at the park, it just takes one slip or a big gust of wind to take you off balance and (well not for me) if you’re not experienced that wing can take you and drag you down the beach it park in a heartbeat! Keep livin and lovin life little bro 👊🏼
Andrew Goldin hahaha yeah, a mate has one and I’ve seen some serious injuries from those things hey haha As James said, the water at a decent speed is like hitting concrete hey
Weren't there openings on there wings as to create lift when the air went over the wings? Kinda like a parasail canopy, dunno but there was a rush getting one here in fla,until of course,,as in previous comments accidents were happening, word has it a person towed on one went up,up and way up,where as the flying wing/tube then went left,to right then back until this person slid off.and off by way of 70 plus ft.in the air due to the length of the tow rope,being over 100ft in length. A yep they we're taken off the market!
There is huge amounts of tension on that rope, 2 reasons why it's bobbing -Craft is made of a rubber compound & it litterally bounces on it's tow hitch -The rope DOES have surface area, enough to create drag, stretch a rope over a long distance and try to tighten it down, you'll note that even with as much tension, its still easy to press in the middle of that rope and make it move up & down
ohh boy memories of the ways i used to hurt myself, got a rogue gust of wind once while i was up at least 25ft off the water, that hurt something fierce, also anytime u crash from air to water moving fast is never a great experience
Attached to a pole you don't get too objects hitting the opposite direction like you do when your moving in a boat. Have had my manta ray for about 2 years now, absolutely insane at time, when the wind changes direction though your usually in a bit of trouble.
i rode one of these up in Mass. IT WAS AMAZING! It feels like a normal tube, but i suggest do this with three people and take a side, cause middle will fling yuou OFF!
When I was smaller my dad could "full throttle" out skii boat and i could do this on a really small Tube like maybe 6' in diameter its the most fun thing i think ive ever done! There isnt anything like flying haha
These are illegal because it's all fun and games until a huge gust of wind picks up the "already flying" tube and goes crazy, causing the tube to turn upside down and crashing into the water at 40mph and causing a broken neck or even death
@mongorians22 well if you grabbed the basic idea form one material of idea, you can turn that idea into a weapon like this video example. If navy need very small and flying devices this shows that you can do that here, just put a huge engines on the boat and the manta ray (metal type) then boom, u got a simple submarine go with it to be used, if anyone know how structure submarine to depart into a boat and the boat launch the flying unites up the sky. Of course it sound like fantasy.
If I had a dolar for each pixel in this video I would have 3 dolars :|
You spelled dollar wrong
your so dumb there are more pixle your and idiot
@@duskycotw8404 your an idiot not and.
@@vtxchris1 It's actually "you're" an idiot not "your", you're all idiots. :P
Everyone above is 1:09
They made it illegal because within a month there were about 60 injured are 8 dead.
So this isn’t allowed anymore?
@@mizxer97 nope
@@mizxer97 I believe in Texas it is actually
the report states 84 injuries and 3 deaths within a 4 month period, doesnt really matter. but still ! :)
Well that explains why such a fun idea has so little of them on the market lol.
This may be the most 2007 video I've seen in a long time...
1:08 scared the shit out of me. So random, what the hell?

I remember flipping through the overtons catalogue and seeing these and wanting one sooo bad
Bad ass, i'll be purchasing one tomorrow.

What a classic old school youtube video
I love when you crash and skim acros the water. I was out tubing the other day.

Man triumphs over the laws of physics yet again, I WANT ONE :D
Man gets concussion

Lake Monroe!
Overtons USED to have them.... Saw one on Craigs fro $1000
It will be fine!
where do you bought it????
I knew it was going to be expensive...
When I was smaller my dad could "full throttle" out skii boat and i could do this on a really small Tube like maybe 6' in diameter its the most fun thing i think ive ever done! There isnt anything like flying haha
Has anyone thought of putting a motor and propeller on one of these and fly it around?
love music !!!!!!!
And where can I get that intertube?
sweet as! a cheap way to fly!
I want one!
they where allowed in the netherlands like one week. Now it's strictly iligal. Would love to ride one of those.
how fast would the boat have to be going???
I have to do this one day
Have to get one😊😃
damn dude.. i want one so bad
INSANE :-)....!
this reminds me on sonic riders zero gravity
We are going to buy this one
OHMYGOD THAT'S CRAZY
looks fun--even for an old guy--
I remember seeing this thing in Indiana on a lake once, it was crazy
Can you still buy one of these
@@DanandRickinthebasementyes, for $700-$1200. I’m about to purchase one before the summer
That's a still frame dude.
Aquaish
These are illegal because it's all fun and games until a huge gust of wind picks up the "already flying" tube and goes crazy, causing the tube to turn upside down and crashing into the water at 40mph and causing a broken neck or even death
sweet. i gotta try that
I would def. ride one of those..kinda scary hearing about all the injuries & deaths, but I think if you had a good/smart driver, it'd be alright.
holy crap!!!
What is that awesome music?
where can I buy that?
thanks
Scared the crap outta me lol.
That scary Face :0
How can I get that song? Please please tell me I love it

does anyone know wut song they have on here?
1:08
If u can modificate it in order to be controlled by the rider by changing the flow of air it would be awsome
You probably could try to add some aileron and pitch control to give you some roll authority
Whoever decided to put this song in...
A new inflatable Mankiller! Awriiiite, kids!
How many Hp does the boat have?
What type of boat is that?
that fucking face scared the shit out of me,
but yeah awesome stuff, would love to try it out
I'm sure that you will find one.. good luck.
This really looks a lot like Lake Travis in Austin, TX
Haha 1:10. Wasn't expecting that XD
