Back a dozen or so years ago, my brother-in-law and my brother were riding snowmobiles on the Snake River between Pine City, MN and Lake Pokegama... about 5 miles west of town. It was at night and my brother-in-law mistakenly went too wide on the river as he was approaching the lake and ended up driving right into open water. The video you're about to watch shows the same location he went in at but during the day. It also shows his nephew, Ryan, purposely crossing the water on his snowmobile. Here's Ryan's quote about snowmobiling on water... "When first going for it you know that if you go down there are going to be some big problems!! It was just me and Matt Furlong no other spectators except a van stopped with it's family on top of the bridge to watch. Huge risk factor on the river and it gets your heart pumping. You even get short of breath when thinking over it. BUT THE FEELING GOING ACROSS IS EXHILARATING. It was pretty neat that the snowmobile didn't slow on the water, in fact it still accelerates while going across. A few trips across later I was able to back off to half throttle."
