Mr. Leary always has great videos of his runner crossing rivers and stuff. He seems to always make it, but some look pretty darn deep!

There was the one that was originally posted on expo where the guy floated for a bit.

That was Clark White's truck.

The Adventures tab in my sig line will take you to the thread where my pics and vids are... there are plenty of people who have done much more extreme crossings then I, but it may be what you are looking for.

Those are the first ones that came to mind when you asked for "crazy river crossing". Thanks for gettin to em first Downpour, I had to watch them again anyway!

sweet vids!!!

 

[Mr. Leary]

Yeah... those are crazy. I remember when he first posted them a while back. Posted them on ExPo, and the local emergency rescue guys reamed him for almost getting them into a swift water rescue... very dangerous.

He is both good and lucky. The crossing on the way back was perfectly executed.

That was nuts!!! Even with a snorkel, I wouldn't try that. The guy has got some skills behind the wheel, that's for sure.

Edit: Does anyone know if he got water in the cab on either of those crossings?

I think I remember him saying that his floorboards got a little damp, but not too bad. Usually you take on water when you sit for a bit, rather than during a crossing. I have taken on more water when stuck in mud holes then during any river crossing.
