what are you talking about? you are saying that you ride through the water then onto the jump? ok maybe put the jump in the water so the edge is right at where the water meets the ground. but we always have done it off of a dock, so that already adds like 2-3 feet of air time…

idk, i have no idea. lol.

we tied a life jacket to the handle bars which acts as a bash guard too. and i bet a noodle that is hollow and split could go on the top tube with some zip ties.

now that i think about it if you put noodles on all the tubes and handle bars it might float.
