The motoski is for snow, but might work..

I used to drag out in the boones and they always had a large pond at the end of the drag strip and people would run through it all the time. Never ran out of power crossing it and would do it in 5th pinned WFO. You have to hold it WFO or your front end will drop and you are f**ked, 100+mph going over the bars isn't cool. Though the water slows you down alot.

I've done some shorter crossings at the dunes in Oregon but nothing I would think was close to 100'. Both Florence and Sand Lake both have quite a few different places where you could attempt this.  As for the motoski... if your front wheel is deep enough in the water for the ski to have any effect at all.... its already too late and you're going for a swim!  What ever happend with the footage from Sly and Arigato?  There are a few different Crusty's videos that all have footage of bikes, quads and even a three wheeler or two doing water kitties.
Rock it 'til the wheels fall off!

Hehehe... at times when we are all camped together at the dunes with Keith and his mobile "Liquid Lounge" toy hauler is screaming --->TechNo<--- well into the 3 a.m. hour at 140db with 18" subs built into the bottom of it shooting down and like 20,000 watts.......

well..... I wish he didn't exist    :-P   but the video does and I am going to make it meet the anxiously awaiting masses.....

It is true We do quite a bit o crossin ponds up here actually but it's in  dips and valleys  in farmers feilds in spring after the snow melts ( there is alot of water when snow is up to 4 feet deep) they vary in depth and length but the key is keep her pinned get yer ass wayyyyy back and remember keep your feet tucked in to bike as tight as possible (water rips em right off at 80 mph) and pray your front dont drop its not pretty and not warm either. Biggest problem is suckin water in carb other wise the 5 hundie will defy laws of physics yet again!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
