Well I was just having a discussion about wakeboarding and the pain involved in learning this wonderful sport. We decided that all newbs need to get properly Edge-ucated by getting rookie at least a handful of times, before you progress. Helps build charater! I was originally going to have people post up there best face plants but lets see all your best crashes. We havent had a good crash thread in a while, so lets see what you got wakeworld. Nothing says wakeboarding like a good solid edge catch! I would post some of my own but I will let Ryan Taylor aka Photo Ryan post them up.

I'll have to post my best one tonight, Me getting owned on the a frame at O-Dub 40 mins before I am supposed to board my plane back home. Limping through the airport was fun!

Pros get it too! In all fairness this was the tail end of a double back roll to blind attempt. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/671483.jpg" alt="Upload">

02-19-2009 3:04 PM

HAHA! Like I said it was a double to blind attempt, WHEN he lands that trick it will get trick of the year! He was sooo close he would either rotate and pop the handle or have the handle and not get the blind rotation all the way. It was sick for sure!

When you try out wakeski's for your first time, you should probably not try and hit the A-Frame Troy is an insane skiier, but sometimes it's better to let the wakeboarders have the fun on rails. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/671498.jpg" alt="Upload"> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/671499.jpg" alt="Upload"> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/671500.jpg" alt="Upload">

Callen that was spring last year Troy got fully owned by that rail, I thought we were taking him to the hospital for sure. Ryan that 5th one down in your first post made me cringe! The ramp was two different sequences from different angles. I wish I had the Ninja skills like that.
