Summer videos to help shake the winter blues

SunsetPointWentworth · 01-19-2011, 09:36 PM

I was recently scanning youtube in search of some summer videos of Lake Winnipesaukee to help wash away those mid-winter blues. I came across these outstanding water sport videos made by a group of college kids who live in Winter Harbor. Note; the size and scale of the rope swing they built.

Damn. Thanks SPW, I'll now have that image of Pratts' "Joe Thiesmen" leg in my head all day.

That ankle is tough to look at. Anyone know how he made out? That kind of damage will take a long time to heal.

There are few other Winni videos on youtube, some look like real fun until you ask how did they get back to the dock.

These kids have any parents ?between the jumping off the boat house and the bike ramp lucky one of them isnt riding a wheelchair for the rest of their life .

I must say though they are entertaining , may be I am just getting old .

Johnny Knoxville, SteveO and Weeman look completely different in this video. Who wouldn't want to try that waterslide though

Where does one even get a water slide that big and long? Is it still there?

Yes, it is still there. I did know where they got it but can't remember. I do remember it is a commercial slide which they bought used.
