    I think I am going to get sick. LOL! Makes me queasy just to look at them. I never knew they practiced in water! How do they stick a landing in water? LOL!

    That is one of the scariest things I have ever seen. They look like they are flying.

    Oh my, does that hurt when they hit the water?

    There's some jets under the water that soften landing. And, as scary as it all looks they say the hardest part is trying to 'swim' with skis on!

    Hi, Donna;
    Well, I'd do it into the water. Kinda looks like fun. But they do it onto rock hard ice and snow!! I just can't imagine...

    OMG. I looked at those photos and thought, where did they find snow to practice on....Now I know it was not snow at all. I never dreamed they practice on water.
