Skimming a Dirt Bike Over a Lake at 70MPH Then Flying Off a Jump Involves Confusing Physics

Noted crazy person Travis Pastrana gets bored easily, and he entertains himself by doing ridiculous, usually-dangerous things at high speeds. His latest stunt? The hydrojump. It involved him "skimming his Suzuki dirtbike at 70 miles per hour for 110 feet in five-foot-deep water, and then launching off of a floating FMX ramp." It actually looks pretty fun in the video.
