Flyboarder Vadim Nekhaev clearly is unphased by snow and ice. Of course, being from Finland where brutal winters are par for the course, it’s easy to see why. Nonetheless, the daring athlete published a hilarious video of launching first, a ’17 Spark Trixx at a nearby lake, which he used to break up the icy surface so that he could perform a short flyboard routine. It’s worth noting that the little Spark aptly broke up the ice, clearly away an open patch of water before pulling back onto the trailer. (So Polytec can hold up to ice pretty well, we guess.)
Next, Vadim backed out his ’17 Sea-Doo RXP-X 300 and Flyboard and showed off his amazing skills, firing off a succession of backflips and other tricks, all while showing off his cool multi-colored LED setup that rotates through a myriad of colors, changing the hue of the jet plumes shooting out of the bottom of the Flyboard. Donning a Santa hat, Vadim even did his best at making a snow angel-of-sorts as he shot himself up the snow-covered dock, blasting jets of water from beneath his boots.
All of this was in good fun, of course, and are just another way that PWC enthusiasts from around the globe are handling the off-season. Here’s the video below:
