hahahahahah its called steeplechase. Its a 3,000 meter race (like 1.8ish miles) where there are 5 hurdles a lap ( i think) and one has water in it. It makes for some excellent crashes. hahahah here

well the way your supposed to do it is clear the entire water pit except the very end, so the pros really only get like up to their ankles wet

yeah i figures, and if you have a bad jump you are punished by getting wet which will make you slower and running out of a pit of water that could be up to the middle of your thighs... a true test of skill.... but still whack
