I want to put a saddle on a shark

[ReaderScars]

As title, nice beefy Great White, captured somehow, harnessed and saddled up. I know it will be difficult - apparently it's bad enough driving a cat to the vets in a box from what I've read - but wouldn't it be the ride of your life? Take a packed lunch, GPS, see how far it takes you.

Can you imagine the go-pro footage?

Or maybe Frakie Dettori on a lion?

Pub lunch, was it?

Just pondering really...maybe like Felix B did, before someone took him seriously and it was too late to back out (not that that would happen).

Ace. Don't forget lasers, too.

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL??!!

Putting a harness on a shark - moved from the Lounge to here?!

Zealous mods are zealous.

Mobsta is that you?

[ReaderScars]

Could we swap the laser for something out of the torch threads?

Superb idea

No, just me and a bunch of excess neurons.

Incidentally I should probably apologise to the regulars of ACG&S - this was most certainly meant for and originally posted in the Lounge.

We have a harness for Frank the guinea pig, but we are too scared to put it on him...

It's a good idea, not without its pitfalls I grant you, have you thought about what happens if the shark decides not to just ride along with you above the surface?

They can dive pretty deep sharks you know

Do you think I'm stupid?! I wouldn't expect co-operation.

I do but thats neither here nor there

Do you have scuba gear? Without it this plan simply isn't going to work, I'm not sure you've put enough serious thought into this to be honest

Ahem.

As the founder of the Pistonheads Fracking Company Ltd I can assure you that I am only too willing to tap into the expertise ready to be offered as sponsorship rolls in.

However I have to admit, I'm not sure if this should go in a Red Bull/Go-Pro, or a BBC/National Geographic direction.

One thing I have considered is that weight and buoyancy will clearly need to be assessed if the team is to get the most out of the shark's endurance.

Someone managed to strap a gopro to an angry Ram http://youtu.be/I5sbpVerIvI

A GW shark has to be doable!
