Let's see a video of somebody clearing the Sherman Dam in a boat.

Vortex cannot be used, though I don't know if it would work any better or not.

Go at it!

I've seen a lot of his videos, that's really where I got the inspiration for this challenge.

And thanks for the kind words, buzzsaw.

I just tryed it but I only got half the way up. What's the fastest boat anyway?

I believe it's a tie between the Speeder and either the Squallo or the Jetmax.

I'll be trying this one myself when I get the game for Xbox in a couple of days. Might take a while until I can get to LV though.

i'm pretty sure the squallo is the fastest.

Yes, off-flow. Though the other side might be interesting, how high is the wall, and are there any lower platforms to get air off of? That'd be a huge jump.

i think the damn is too steep on the resevoir side, but then again you never know...

Ive never reached the top but gotten pretty close, and yeah the squallo is the fastest boat in my opinion( wonder why they made the jetmax the top price in boating school

).

i tried the resevoir side and almost made it up with a speeder. the problem is that you can't get a squalo on that side to try it with. i tried using the "boats fly" cheat to get one over there but they don't fly as well as cars, lol.

i noticed that a long run-up won't get you any closer to the top (on the off-flow side) than a short run-up.

ive gotten ontop of the dam on the resivior side with a speeder but not over. they should of put a boat ramp on the resivour side, that would be one hell of a drop.

EDIT: i used the flying boats cheat to bump off the dam and get ontop with a squallo and pushed it off the other side. afterwards i disabled the cheat and took at run at the dam. i was thrown into a slow 360 over the dam and i must say it was very spictacular exept for the fact that i landed upside down

EDIT: i dont think this is going to get done anytime soon. new chalenge
