FALLING SUCKS!

Yesterday I was doing a boardslide to shuv it out and landed one foot on the board and one foot in the water. Anyway, it split me down the middle. One foot went forward and one stayed back. Now I am icing my groin muscle. This sucks. Anyone else have a bad fall story to tell?

There is a guy on here somewhere that landed a w2w with one foot on and one foot off and he broke his femer (SP?). The bone between your hip and knee.

oh yeah, when i first started working on shuv-its that would happen to me, i would get one foot on and the other foot was just to lazy or something and then i just kept getting a little bit more flexible.

One foot on one foot off and did the splits.
Also tried a shuvit but the board went towards my head and i like punched at the board so it wouldnt hit me, it was a blur to me but thats what my friends in the boat said happened

Uhh, on the wakeskate i've had a couple of funny falls, but nothing worse than some scratches and bruises and my shins. I think the worst falls come on wakeboards cuz your feet are attached, so you eat it hard. On a wakeskate its not so bad except you've got the board flying everywhere.

On the first couple of times I was trying a tantrum, I underrotated huge and ending up smacking my baggage on the water....I nearly puked. Later that week trying the same trick I hit myself in the forehead with the board when it was still attached to my feet, and Im not nearly THAT flexible...go figure..
