My buddy got a couple pretty epic crashes of mine on film so thought I'd share. Was my second time out for the year and I was giving my wife's board a go before I decide what setup I'm going to grab for the season. I think I might be prouder of these than any riding video I could possibly produce.
What stopped your rotation on your second trick? That's way too advanced for me to even figure out wtf is going on. _________________ Today is a chance to become a greater person than the person we were the day before.
damn.. the raley crash actually looked worse to me. you gotta take some to progress though, am I right? I'm sure i'll have some fun crashes this summer working on my spins _________________ '06 LF Substance, Soon to be a 2011 Watson Classic!

The raley was definitely the worse of the two crashes, for some reason the order got flipped around when he edited it. That one put an end to my day.
Okie - It was last friday, and there's still some lingering soreness in my neck. Just a little whiplash haha.
WB3780 - No idea, I think I just got hung up a bit and stalled is all. It looks like everything was proper until I stalled 3/4 through. Definitely felt wrong as soon as I went to turn it though so I probably was thinking exit strategies instead of how to go about riding away from it.
Hebrew - probably like 16-17 years now, think I started when I was 11 or 12. Nice crash on the 3, buddy of mine took a crash that looked really similar to that last year and came away from it with a broken ankle
The worst fall I've had, other than when I tore my acl and all of the cartilege in my right knee in '04, was when I was being pulled by my friend behind my old xstar. we were going around a nice smooth turn in a small cove, which opened up after the turn. The water was glass, so I cut out hard on my heels away from the boat and twisted into a bs slide. I intended to just slide like that all the way around the corner for fun on the smooth water. Well, another boat ended up coming the other way towards us and my friend, without me anticipating it, initiated a much more aggressive turn while I was already sliding. I got going faster and faster and faster and I just couldn't lean forward enough and my back edge caught. I slammed so hard it took the board right off of my feet, knocked me out for a few seconds, knocked the breath out of me, and I came to underwater not knowing which was was up. It was horrible. The next day, the back sides of my arms, all the way up to where my life jacket started, were black and blue. I wish I had a vid of that one.
very nice crash videos. My worst crash happened last year attempting a FS 3. Got around to grabbing the handle and caught line tension, yanked me over right as I hit the water. It took me about a half hour to figure out what day of the week it was, and I supposedly told my friend like 12 times that I "felt like I just woke up out of a dream" haha. But like craZywakeboardererer said, you gotta fall some to progress
