Oh my goodness. Nice shot!

1) I hope that water is deep
2) I hope he changes his body shape before he hits the water!

Here is another. 1. The water was about 20ft deep. 2. He held the superman than did a quick flip and landed feet first in the water.

So he hates his bike, huh? Any rope on the bike to retrive it easier?

Cool photos man! Love the first one.

As the 1st image was drawing I hadn't seen the lake yet and I was OMG that is going to hurt...:-) Without the lake being there, it leaves a lot to ones the imagination. Great capture!

The bike in the pictures is actually the 2nd bike. They bought a bike and tied a windsheild washer bottle to it. My bro's friend went first and like a back-flop, and while is was writhing in pain the bike sank to the bottom! So, this bike is actually the other group of people's bike. From what I understand their's is actually atleat the 2nd bike to sink.

Oh, and this is outside of Alpine, UT.
