This is my friend Scott a couple of years ago. Everything was going just fine until the rope snapped. Yeah, apparently it hurt.... really bad.

I can feel my face stinging watching that one.

That looked ugly, i was trying one this weekend and BAM all of a sudden i was star gazing and slammed mt back hard. Ive tried them in the past and had some falls but this was worse then the others for sure, but maybe still not as bad as missing the handle pass on a 360 and catching the heel side edge coming off a w2w (did someone say headache?).

Ouch, thanks for bringing that back into my memory Brian.

A couple of weeks ago I was doing them on the trampoline and the rope. . . .

I tried one of those once - Got the first half down perfect!

That's the nuttiest thing I've seen in a long time. That would be the last thing I would think could happen when trying that trick. SUCKS.

I saw Murray try something like that, but it was on purpose and the rope didn't break.

He came out of the raley doing a front flip over the handle kinda. It was in comp and he didn't ride away. But if he's doing it in comp, he must have landed it in practice. By the look on his face, I don't think he wants to keep trying it...

Raleys kick my ass... the first one I tried I had perfect, just thought I had more time to pull back in than I did and bailed hard. Everytime I've tried one since then I've never gotten the right cut and force it out. I end up slamming on my face hard or doing the front flip thing like Danny said Murray did... I've gotten a nice shiner from a knee to the face a couple times, as well as destroying the zipper on my old vest.

Ouch, I'm sure you won't be trying anymore Raley's with equipment that's not up to par.

Wow, good thing it didn't break earlier and send him into the photographer. That could have been real ugly.

Jonathan, that thought crossed our minds a few times!
