A high octane finale for a snowboarder who managed to glide across an artificial pond at the bottom of the slope then finished it off with a spectacular flip over the weekend (April 13).

The footage, shot at China Peak ski resort in California, shows the high octane athlete clear a three-foot deep, 60-foot long pond at the bottom of the slope - if that's not enough he executes a flip on his exit.

Moving at speeds of "roughly" 40mph (64kph), the snowboarder completes the pond in a manoeuvre known as "skimming" and pulls off a frontflip, which is also known as a "tamedog."

The filmer said: "[It's] an unbelievably difficult trick to pull off on a jump, even harder on flat land and near impossible out of the lip of a water-filled tarp."

This video was shot during the annual spring weekend festivities at my local ski resort, China Peak. The man in the video is skimming an artificial 3 foot deep pond while on a snowboard, a quite difficult task as most riders sink before the end. The man enters the pond going roughly 40mph or faster (a necessary speed to try to clear the pond) and not only clears the 60ft pond length but additionally throws down a front flip (tamedog) out of the pond. An unbelievably difficult trick to pull off on a jump, even harder on flat land and near impossible out of the lip of a water filled tarp.
