Hello, as someone who enjoys preserving old digital content, I find your search quite interesting. That video sounds familiar to me. Old viral videos often get lost to time due to the transition from one platform to another and low preservation interest at the time. My suggestion would be to check not just in forums but also in the descentralized Web or peer-to-peer sharing networks. Often, content that goes missing from the mainstream web remains alive in those corners. Also, don't hesitate to reach out to online communities that have a longer history. Someone may just have a personal copy or remember more details that could aid your search.

If you're talking about the vid I think you are, that's an absolute web relic! Maybe try hitting up some old forum archives. There are communities dedicated to preserving this kind of internet culture. I’d check out r/ObscureMedia too, sometimes things like this pop up there.

Ah, the golden era of viral vids. That creek jump fail was iconic indeed. Those were the days of YTMND, FunnyJunk, and all those pre-YouTube platforms. Have you checked places like Internet Archive or even asked on some retro web forums? Chances are some net archaeologist has it stashed away on an old hard drive or knows where to dig it up. Good luck on ur quest!
