Evan, the water crossing is super easy. Me and my friends will go out for an afternoon on a local lake, and the trails are either bad or get boring quick, so we need something to keep us occupied.
The trick is to pin the throttle when you hit the water, you'll be surprised how much traction you can grab on the water. If you go across and hold the throttle steady at the same amount as you have coming at the water, its much easier to start bouncing, which is bad. I'd say try it at 40ish and its easy to do.
Earlier this year, we were on the other side of the lake doing an open spot about 100ft. I don't have any studs so it was sketchy trying to get speed and keep her straight while coming at the water, but talk about a rush! For sections where you're skimming a lot, the sleds throw water on top of the ice which freezes, making the entrance super slick, so studs help a lot.
"Tunnel" pics to come (think open water, 7 lanes of highway, and a 10 ft wide tunnel under the traffic)! That first time we do it each year is super scary!
But I recommend some small water crossings, super fun!
