Difficult to tell for sure but there appears to be a ramp under the water for the exit so I don't see why not.

(See skimming stones as a kid)

Would you stand in a pool that close to a guy trying to ride a motorbike across it?

that is travis iirc and it is not a fake - if you go fast enough you aqua plane across the water - there will only be so far you can go but people have done much further than that

You get plenty of that kind of thing in dirt bike videos. Lakes are more impressive.

I've done it over a flooded field, admittedly only a few inches deep but you can feel when you're planing.

Have seen one of a boy running on water, even more impressive.

The 'running on water' one (assuming we're talking about the same thing) [i]is[/i] fake - it's viral marketing for Nike's new water repellant trainers.

As above. The faster you go the more resistance you'll get from the water I'd imagine.
