I'm sayin watch all the episodes of built to shred on Fuel TV. They will most likely have one explaining how they built it and stuff good luck!

im curious how you could build a bubbler to break the surface tension on the water, so you cant smack.

My mate built one, he used a just a couple of normal garden hoses to break surface tension. One squirts water from underneath the jump and one comes up below the surface shooting water.

you could probably buy an air pump and run a hose to a PVC with holes drilled in it and hook it up on the bottom of your pond/poll. maybe a compressor would work somehow?

there were a couple edits I belive that included a rollerblading water ramp

then there was another one that some kids built one for skiing, but something happened and it broke in the first cople of days... but that may be of no use. i'll see if i can find the blading edit
