Wakeboarder Races Through River Rapids Pulled by Horse
- 7 years ago
This is river rapid wakeboarding taken to the extreme. 26 year-old daredevil Almaz Smailkulov rides his wakeboard over rapids in the shallows of the Kara-Balta river in his native Kyrgyzstan, surrounded by rocks popping up out of the water, while being pulled along by a horse. Any wrong move on the wakeboard can send him tumbling down onto the rocks.
The most dangerous and foolhardy aspect is that the young daredevil glides along the rocks without a helmet. Falling on the rocks can result in serious trauma.
Almaz wants Kyrgyz people to take up his extreme version of horse-driven wakeboarding through river rapids because of the abundance of beautiful river valley landscapes in the mountainous country, but any newcomers should approach the dangerous sport with caution.
