September 18, 201015 yr Found this on Youtube - arena type event from 80s Around 8 minutes in is priceless. Some of this wouldn't be allowed these days. Risk assement would demand frogmen on standby, riders must wear breathing apparatus, the pool must be drained, bikes must have airbags for buoyancy - and then health and safety would not allow it anyway as too dangerous to participants

September 19, 201015 yr Only watched a wee bit. Couldn't be done on a modern bike though, such is "progress". I wonder if anyone got round to bending the nose of that guy who insisted on shouting through a megaphone in to the ear of the guys who fell off.
September 19, 201015 yr Just goes to show the R&D work that went into todays water cooled bikes !!! Great find ! thanks Glenn
September 27, 201015 yr Absolutely Classic Video. When the guy falls off the ramp/bed frame coming out of the pool and gets his foot stuck, I just about laughed out of my chair......love it!!!
