water crossing

Not very good pictures as they were taken with a cell phone. However, three of us doing our first water crossing in Houghton Lake.

Yes, third pic down was me. HAHAHAHA. went into it to slow. I am not that familiar with Houghton Lake but that was just east of the lake on trail 7. There is a small bridge there, but who needs bridges?

I have yet to waterskip anything, but that's because my sleds all break down before I can do it

I think my XC500 will make a decent skipper this spring...

i know it is a dumb question but is that bad for your machine to do water crossing?
