alright so on saturday i jumped half the wake and did a toe side 180.. and i was a little under on the rotation. so when i landed i had my heels hit the water and they dug in HELLA hard tons of pressure. pulled muscles in my arms and legs and the rope SNAPPED!!!!
it was so funny. i was laughing my a@# off on how bad i messed that one up

What kind of rope were you useing? Most wake ropes are tested to around 2000 lbs, thats a serious edge.

i looked at his myspace from his prfile and it looks like he was using a stretch ski rope thas what he had in the pix
dude you gotta invest in a non-stretch rope
