A motorcross bike can apparently "run on water" too. Video I saw was 125 or 
250cc 2 stroke bike, un-modified. The lake was perhaps 50 - 100m across. 
The tricks are I guess finding a body of water with a lightly sloping beach, 
getting up to the right speed before hitting the water, staying straight, and not 
backing off the power.
