I'm so sorry I missed seeing that in person...that is some funny ass ********. Jerry fell from like 15 feet and the debris you see is the crap fell off the building as he was climbing up...


And as far as throwing stuff away goes...I don't chuck it unless I really ********ed up. The only time that I have been purposfully(sp) throwing stuff away is trying doubles...when they are not close I dont see any point in going down with the ship. And because of the forward mometum I don't have any trouble pushing it ahead of me and hitting the eject button. But flips are another thing for me.

My advice for anyone learning to flip..DON'T LET GO FOR ANYTHING!!!

But and this is a really but...

When you go as big as JK does, unless you are going to land perfectly your body will take a huge impact. In that case, I feel it would be much better to throw it away. But you have to have done 100's of flips before you get that level of proficency. And there is for sure a huge art to throwing it away. And does take some practice.

Mike was throwing those away on purpose cause they were not going to land well. I would have ridden them out, but he is learning to get away. Before I grow the ballz to go huge, I will have learned to control the ski better in the air than I do now for a few reasons. A) I'm sick of breaking the nose B) most importantly I don't want to land it flat. I don't have near the control over the SJ air that I do over the FX, but I am working on it.

But for anyone learning, don't throw flips away, that is just asking for trouble. IMHO

Thanks Ross. i couldn't agree more. As long as you have your hands and feet connected to your ski, the injuries are much less worse. In fact, the reason I was out for 6 months recently was because I threw away and the ski landed on me. I have had some very very close calls and feel that having the ski land on you can result in some of the worst possible injuries, and might be the only way to actually die jetskiing.
Hang on to your skis!!!

The funny part is, 2 sec after Jerry hit the ground, Vince calmly chimes in with "Belay on!"
:haha:

Guess you had to be there.
