Buckeye Receivers Blast Off Into Space At Slip-N-Fly Pool

Slip-n-slides are fun. Who hasn't, on a hot day, enjoyed launching themselves penguin-style onto their bellies and along a long strip of water? Wide receivers coach Zach Smith and his charges spent their Saturday doing the same thing, but on a grander scale.

While offensive coordinator Tim Beck and the quarterbacks spent their time go-karting, Smith and the receivers rented out or had some use of the Slip N Fly, a massive watery ramp located at Ohio Dreams Action Sports Camp. Thanks to Smith, we have videos of their plummeting.

Here's Michael Thomas displaying a water-assisted 1500" vertical jump:

Jalin Marshall demonstrated that old swimming pool standby, the living statue (or the screwdriver, as the kids used to call it back in my day):

Terry McLaurin flailed around in (almost) zero-G:

Parris Campbell applied the pool directly to his forehead:

And K.J. Hill took it easier than everyone else – wisely, in my opinion.

It looks like a blast, and you too can rent the pool/slide area for the low, low price of $5,000. Odds are, the receivers didn't have to pay quite that much to launch into the heliosphere.
