Jan. 10th at the Delta with Mark But****a, Greg Sandford, Sean Glynn, Christie and Joshua Fisher. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakepics.com/view_single.php?medid=9826" target="_blank">http://www.wakepics.com/view_single.php?medid=9826</a> <BR>}

Wow, those are some brutal crashes! Could Greg even walk after that??? <BR> <BR>Nice glassy water but it definitely looked COLD.

Is that a premier handle in that video?

beep beep beep....damn thats annoying. are you just gonna let it do that forever? <BR> <BR>nice vid.

raley stacks hurt, a few good examples there

dang, i rember those days learning the raley, I was just about to try some new tricks, but I forgot about the workings. Greg keep up the good work you are on a progression roll. Its great to see people progress so quickly.

Another great video Christie!

Scott - The boat is in the shop right now. I couldn't go another day with that darn beep! So far, they haven't found anything wrong though. Compression is perfect and no oil leaks so who knows! <BR> <BR>In fact, they ran the boat for 30 minutes and the alarm didn't beep once. It's a good thing I have it on video or they wouldn't believe me! haha

P.S. ummmm, was that a Raiders cap I see on Josh's head????? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

Great stuff. Christie, I was just about to start a thread wondering when we were gonna get another video fix! Something about your videos are real; I guess I can just relate to them. <BR> <BR>Greg: just my opinion, but after a couple of hard crashes the brain is sorta scrambled, which means it will be even tougher to land the same trick-- especially when you are as cold as you guys must have been. Sometimes progress can't be made, and it's best to retreat a bit and try again after regrouping. I don't want to see you get hurt, man! <BR> <BR>Mark: I just love the style and ease of your backrolls. That front whatever at the beginning was huge, sweet and . . . I think I'm gonna go watch it again! <BR> <BR>Thanks, Christie-- keep them coming!

Excellent

I havent seen a beetin like that since somebody put a banana in my pants and set a monkey loose.

I hear ya Steve. I don't want to get hurt either, thanks for the concern. <BR> <BR>After watching myself in that video I realize I did take a pretty big beating but it actually wasn't that bad at the time. Maybe a few screws were loose allowing me to continue. I was a little sore the next day but not sore enough to stop me from doing it again. I took about 10 or so hits that day (the 10th) and then another 12 the next day but then landed the 13th, 14th, and 15th attempts on the second day. <BR> <BR>Unfortunately if I threw in the towel after taking a hit or two on the Raley it would take me a few months to land it. By sticking with it I was able to work on it more while it was fresh in my mind. I can take a good beating and still focus. I stop attempting a new trick once I start getting tired, when I know I am not able to give it a 100%. To me that's when it gets dangerous. I mean don't get me wrong I admit I was a little lucky to not get hurt during all those failed attempts. <BR> <BR>Mark your first Front Roll in the vid was huge. Awesome, next time I am out with you I'd like to work on that trick with your help. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by gman100 on January 22, 2004)

Stef - You KNOW it! <BR> <BR>Steven - Thanks for the comments. I'm glad that people other than the folks in the vids enjoy them as well. <BR> <BR>Andrew - You have the most interesting ways of phrasing things.....gave me quite a visual <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

That was fun to watch thanks. <BR> <BR>Greg &amp; Christie - On those heel side jumps, if you take a little more weight off your back foot you will be more level coming off the wake, keeping the nose of the board down a bit.

Another great Fisher video. However, I think that very last part of Josh rocking out to oldies music and driving was very cute. Does he give a good pull too? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0>

Wow Christie, someone has you beat in the crash department. <BR>Greg how do you keep trying those raleys to face plant and keep coming back for more? I could not believe you did all those in a row like that. <BR>Very nice crash sequences. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by gw_mark on January 24, 2004)

GOD. I loved the crash section, pretty brutal.

Believe it or not the crashes were not that bad. Most of time I tuck my head in and turned into a human torpedo. Only 1 or 2 really knocked me and that was when I landed on my back. They did look pretty bad though.
