The Dam-to-Dam Streaker!

heath_cooper.jpg (36780 bytes)Last year Heath Cooper suprised everyone by doing a back deep on the boom naked.  This year Heath bettered himself.  He went Long-Line!  

Heath has to be the craziest footer I've ever met.  During the race, Heath face planted twice at nearly 50 mph and managed to hang on and tumble back up.  His teammates swore to me that they saw him go completely under water then pop back up and tumble around.  Heath even blew his eardrum out on his first fall and still managed to ski the entire race without even telling his teammate about his injury.  While we were standing around talking after the race, Gary Stewart informed Heath that he had some waxy fluid coming out of his ear.  Heath said; "Oh don't worry about it, it's just ear wax and blood.  I blew it out during the race."  Then he still managed to go out and do two long-line back deeps in 60 degree water "butt naked".  If that ain't pure crazy, then I don't know what crazy is.

I knew noone would believe this story, so I made sure to videotape Heath's second pass.   Check it out.
