I'm new to rail riding and trying to get my feet under me on sliders is a really scary process. Watching people get wrecked like this sketches me out, but somehow, I can't look away:
1:18 on the first vid hurt me along with :15 of the second..... and poor Tod.
I think those who think ejecting from there boards should look at those wake skate wipe outs, man thier boards take off don't they?!
I stumbled across this one and had to post it. There's just so much going on. You got the popcorn cooking in the background, questionable riding tactics, big air, a ridiculous crash and what appears to be Thriller playing at a bilingual wakeboarding contest. I mean come on now..
Damn! This thread delivers! I finally worked up the cojones to hit every rail in the park today, albeit not always successfully. I can't even spray some of them down properly
Don't have video but my favorite is Danny Harf's crash in 'I think' Boombox where he nearly takes out the whole rail. Hit it headon and recoiled backwards. Couldn't find it online.
I remember on the old
"radar" movie hyperlite did there was a rail crash I believe rathy took. He slid on his butt on the up ramp then hit his side and back on the step up part. That's the hardest hit I've ever seen on a rail. He didn't finish the video after that fall I don't believe.
