  • I wish the Corp. of engineers hadnt outlawed these things before I got one

  • Whoa! Best wipeout I've ever seen!!!!!

  • in soviet russia we do barrel rolls!!

  • DO A BARRELL ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg thats amazingggg ! i want to tryyyy :D

  • SKIP TO 1:15 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • and he stuck the landing TEN POINTS

  • They are not illegal. That particular company issued a recall. Lot's of lakes banned them. A-lot of stores stopped carrying them. No federal laws have been passed. Check local lakes and state laws. Also people should read the actual accounts of serious injury and death before attempting to fly these things. No helmet will save you from a broken neck.

  • i wanna do this it looks so fucking awesome how much does it cost if u rent a kite tube thing

  • @allisonandbailee They do not make them anymore and have all been recalled. There may be a few still out there, but I believe it is technically illegal.

  • @Fantom11 ilegal? is it ilegal to ride one of those or to manufacture one of those? because anyone should ride whatever they want to, we are in america!!!!

  • @allisonandbailee They are illegal now can't buy or rent them to meany people hurt.

  • @allisonandbailee Thisone is illegal, but the Manta Ray flying tube is not. At least not illegal in Florida.

  • do i dare?.......... DO A BARREL ROLL!!!!

  • Sweet

  • Peppy was pleased to see a barrel roll

  • No Way you catch me on that thing. But WOW, looks pretty exciting.

  • Hold on

  • Wow, that was sweet! Nice video!

  • how old is he

  • holy shit.

  • :)

  • How much do those things cost? i want one!!!

  • how much horsepower has the boat?

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!!!

  • Very cool. I think what should be pointed out is that many speedboats are VERY DIFFICULT to gently ease back on the speed. It is just not possible. Expensive ski-boats-- ski natiques, etc. I believe are much better at gauging speed as they need to be to run a course. Anyways..... Cheers! Awesome ride by Colby!

  • Bet you can't do dat again. I know I couldn't

  • LOL, that was sweet man! These things are fun but for reasons the poster already stated they "can be" very dangerous too. I guess it was only a matter of time before they got recalled.

    BTW, they used to have a parasail kit you could buy but not anymore I don't think. I witnessed a guy drop about 80 ft straight down on the beach in front of his kids after the 3rd try to beach land him and sadly he died. Some things need more experience than others. Still, great vid!

  • Press Z or R twice to do a barrel roll!!!

  • hey boat driver- never slow down when the tube is flying - the tube will stall and crash . - just ease the throttle just a tad . the kid is lucky to be alive

  • what is the difference between a regular tub and a kite tube like how does thios get in the air and is this rly dangerous plz respond

  • @wflipj The kite tube is much bigger than a regular tube, I believe it was 10 feet in diameter. It was also shaped similar to an airplane wing so that the Bernoulli Effect would take place. It was dangerous because you had to drive pretty fast, usually 30+ MPH to get the tube in the air. At that speed and the height the tube could rise to hitting the water was causing injuries and some deaths. That is why they were recalled.

  • whered you get this and whats it called ?

    

  • dad needs to learn how to drive the boat

  • i cant believe he held on

  • Who else would be screaming?

  • yeap i have  also a toster wich recording video! xd

  • You'd think of people used these they would understand how to actually drive the boat. If you have no idea that slowing down then the tube gets high is the WORST thing you can do...you shouldn't be using this. Every video where these things own the dude riding, is because the driver chopped off the power as they got high up.

  • @MasonPilot06 You'd think that people who comment would have common sense and a basic understanding of physics. The faster the boat drives the quicker the tube will accelerate into the water when it is unstable. As said before not the best driving, this was right when we got the tube. Show me a better video of yourself towing a kite tube or shut the fuck up.

  • @Fantom11

    I think this was a pretty sweet vid! The kid got good air time and had control in the barrel. Nice work. :-)

  • @Fantom11 You said it's shaped like a aircraft wing. Then wing direction would be very important too. If you get that thing against the wind (wind direction against your face), it will create more lift because you will have a greater air speed over the airfoil. So, in other words, it would actually be a little easier to lift in that direction. If the wind in coming from behind you, would make the kite be pitch sensitive and have less lift. Yes, flying R/C planes has taught me this.

  • @Fantom11 I think I see what MasonPilot06 was trying to get at. When the throttle is dropped the rope slackens, the effect of the "tube" is sudden tail heaviness. A tail heavy craft will pull up into a stall and then plummet back down (the usual effect of a stall).

  • @Fantom11 that was rude

  • @Fantom11 You sir, are a ritard. It takes some speed to acheive lift with the tube, as soon as they get high up in the air the driver gets scared and cuts speed=no more lift, sending the tube that was flying down into the water because theres nothing pulling him. Point being, if constant speed was maintained the tube wouldnt become unstable in the first place.

  • @chadwic911 You sir, are an idiot. If you've never driven a kite tube don't act like you know everything. The physics are simple; but obviously there is more to it than that, which is why the tube was recalled. The wind and movement of the rider also effect how the tube fly. Watch some other kite tube videos and you will see the tube get unstable at speed. If the driver maintains speed the tube will violently throw the rider off. I would argue falling is better than being propelled into water.

  • @chadwic911 You've never been in an airplane have you :D. When you achieve lift, there is this air pillow that forms under you, propelling you up. If an airplane lost engine power, the plane will continue to fly until it reaches stall speed, which is when that pillow cannot support the weight of the object above it. If he slows down, the tube will fall but with more ease. In a perfect situation, maintaining constant speed will let the tube float in a stable matter, But with wind, it will easily

  • @chadwic911 throw the balance of the tube off, thus shifting it in a violent matter. If your boat is travelling at 30 to achieve lift and its being pushed around by 20-40 mph gusts. slowing down will let the tube float back to the water with little effect from the wind. It will also let the air pillow to support it until it hits the water. If you dont slow down, the winds will ultimately swing the tube into the water and the air pillow will not support the tube due to its irregular balance.

  • @dudblue12 Thank you for the support!

  • spettacolo...in italia non c'è questo sport...peccato

  • how does this get dislikes? awesome vid

  • Its like the driver wanted him to fail by breaking when kite tube whent high, but he dodged it bigtime!

  • 1:14 DO A BARREL ROLL!

  • Comment removed

  • when it gets in the air your supposed to keep the throttle down not let up. theres no more wind resistance and the kite crashes back to the water, i mean its common sense really. I understand I dont know all the variables as I wasn't there so there could of been wind or you guys were new to this and just nervous. just saying:)

  • haha i live on austin lake

  • Oh,! S####t I say, "is the kite equipped with a Looo? and I wonder what the nett cost of that little jaunt was, Jealous Oh Boy you bett I am, But I must say, I am a lucky guy because, I'm H A P P Y , hope you are, Max

  • dude thats a fast boat................

  • I think this is the only lucky guy in the world haha

  • Thats A good boat driver

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!

    DO A BARREL ROLL!

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!

  • @Fantom11 WTF IM HERE TO WATCH STUFF NOT HAFTA READ YOU JERK

  • @Fantom11 i have a damn cottage on tht lake no fuckin way!!!:)

  • @kbs1212 BOTH OF YOU STFU.

  • How could you get injured by this if you're only 30-40 ft in the air.

  • @gdawn6812 u sir are a dumbass

  • is that lake bashan in Connecticut??????????

  • 9 for the barrel roll :/

  • easy...easy...shut up bitch!

  • i want one

  • NICEEEEE ONE

  • How fast does your boat have to go to make it possible to drag things like this?

  • is it true these are banned in some places?

  • @mysticleach they dont sel them anywere now uness ppl alredy have em and sell em n ebay

  • @airhead3333 because they are illegal? or some other reason.

  • i thought they were illegal in michigan?

  • IIIAAAAAAAAAA ,,,,,IA hahaha i hahaha

  • that was beast...

  • Sounds like me mom...

  • Those tubes are illegal now because people died on them

  • THAT BOAT NEEDS A NEW CAPTAIN

  • Must I say it?

    DO A BARREL ROLL!!!

  • alright! i cnt blieve that even his legs stayed on that thing when it rolled! i didn't know these type of tubes existed till a few mins ago and now i'd LOVE to try one!!

  • MY NAME IS COLBY!

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!!!

  • Wow

  • Ive been para-sailing in Maui Hawaii but i gotta try this too.

  • that kid has some balls haha

  • to save time go to 1:13

  • Fuck ya

  • Fuck ya

  • this was fucking awesome!

  • wait he jumped a car thats the only time i said yea kobe then i found out the video was fake like him

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!!!

  • That's what happens when you let off like that when they first lift off the water. You're supposed to stay on the throttle when it lifts off. The faster you go, the more stability you have in the air. Once the person is up there about 30 feet you can just throw it in neutral and they will softly drop to the water. I did anyway...I got up over 40 feet for about five minutes at over 40 mph. Most fun I've ever had =) I wish I had it on video though.

  • @IrishChris1979 There are just so many variables with the Kite Tube, one reason it was so inconsistent. Wind was always a huge factor. I remember one time we went out and it was pure glass. We had the Malibu topped out and could only get the tube about 10 feet in the air, but the rider was able to slalom it back and forth and control the tube...it was pretty sweet.

  • haha he landed it i thought he would fall thats cool

  • 11 people can't swim!

  • yea kobee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol

  • Damn this looks like so much fun. I enjoyed this video more than the ones where people nose dive from 30ft and almost die. Im not completely soulless after all. Nice vid! Can I try?

  • starfox DO A BARREL ROLL!

  • do a barrel roll.txt

  • this reminded me of starfox 64

  • is that in the tennesee river?

  • @Fantom11 Michigan! we live in the same state my friend!

    too bad we don't have the same tube

  • @Fantom11 HOLY FUCK I LIVE THERE!!!!!

  • Epic Epicness!

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!!!!!

  • FAKE!

  • He didn't mean for it to happen but he deff stuck with it and it worked out. Nice vid

  • Is that StarFox riding that tube??????

    "DO A BARREL ROLL !!!!"

  • WOW!!! how did he do that

  • your gay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • omg ur driving makes me frustrated

  • Try a somersault...

  • quick, do a barrel roll!!

  • nice driving!

  • Starfox, do a barrel roll!

  • "Command this is patrol boat 1.. we are in pursuit of a barrle rolling tube. over." WHAAAT?!?!?!"

  • this is wat happends when you do a barrel rool...

  • DO A BARREL ROLL!

  • DO A BaRReL ROLL!

  • Epic win for Colby and Kite Tube.

  • "Fuck you Gravity"

  • skip to 1:15

  • these shouldnt be illegal they should just require like a licence to use them

  • Lol talk about lucky. Seen people come of at less of an angle.

  • DAM I WANT ONE OF THOSE >8O

  • awesome 360 at the end

  • that rider has skills :D

  • AND HE STICKS THE LANDING!

  • @xXKwikKillerXx Lol win

  • Are these still available????

  • @schymcgee Maybe used.

    But these things aint mainstream anymore.

  • @CHANGACK No? What is?

  • @schymcgee You can buy normal rafts, tubes nowadays

    But, you can't buy the flying ones no more.

  • these kite tuebs look retarded to control.

  • horrible driving wow

  • Yup, he tapped A twice.

  • Fox do a barrel roll

  • you win sir, flawless victory and everything

  • Frickin sweet

  • you're all saying YEAHHH COLBY and he's like LET ME THE FUCK OFF!

  • was that barrel roll on purpose ? haha. either way, that was sick !!!!

  • do a barrel roll fox!

  • Those are iligel

  • did he die?

  • arent those illegal now?

  • it took u 1.22 for a like 8 second vid >.> nice

  • @Chocrobot  lol

  • where do you buy those at

  • @Skaterman30000

    You don't...they are illegal now because many drivers don't know how to drive with them correctly. Many deaths have happened from these because the driver has gotten spooked from the spotters and then they cut the throttle quickly, making the tube smash down in the water and hurting the tuber badly...and as I said before, sometimes to death.

  • @sebastianave of course you can buy one dumbass, if you can but a black market liver from china i am pretty sure you can buy a flying tubesomewhere

  • @mcd5858

    I didn't say you "can't"...dumbass.

    I said "you don't". You don't buy them because they're illegal.
