No F-in way! They definately shot like a manikin from that thing, and the real guy was just sitting in the pool waiting. Though either way, thats pretty SICK!

All doubts were unfounded. The 35.2-meter jump distance was the first Softslide practice test with real people (me) under real conditions. I think the last doubters now the words are missing.

OK guys........Flying that fast at that angle into that pool would have ejected/splashed a lot of water out of the pool in the same direction. And to tell you the truth he would have kept going.......But .......it is a cool looking video

Now if there was a big lake instead of a little pool I would probably do it. Although its fake, its still really cool!
