A friend send me this vid after he saw my HDPE lined ski plane ramp, which is pretty tame compared to this! You can't really see it too well in this picture, but my runway has a naturally occuring drift about 120' down the runway, just right for that little extra momentary drag reduction to get in the air.
Hard to believe but this video sure looks real. Note the pool is on a wooden platform, hitting that instead of the pool would not be good........http://www.microsoft.com/germany/aktion ... s-machbar/

You can't really believe your own lying eyes these days.

Wow, I really didn't think it was faked, it sure appears to be the real deal. I WAS having a hard time believing the balls on that guy to attempt something like that, and I'll buy into the faked aspect easier! Thanks for clearing that up, I wouldn't have posted it if I had known.

MY ramp is the real deal!
