So unreal. I can't even comprehend what he was doing in half those tricks.

I love watching him ride. He's only 17 too. So good. Pretty sure I saw a switch w2w 10, switch whirly 7, and hs back 9 in there. What a fucking beast.

holy handlepass...

Is wakeboarding as safe as it seems?

 

[.AR6rider.]

I wouldn't exactly call it "safe" as you're still traveling 23-25 mph, and water still hurts like shit when you catch an edge in the flats, but I guess there's more dangerous things out there. I've seen snapped tibias and fibulas, but other than that I'd say the most common injuries are blown eardrums and concussions.

 

[EAST~COAST]

it absolutely is not as "Easy" or "safe" as he made it just look.. I just went out today actually and busted my ass so hard trying to pick up where i was last season. Got a pretty good headache right now...

 

[ImNotARacist]

Not at all. AR6 is right tibia,, femur, you name it. Knees are at a huge risk as well.

I was slaloming and wiped out hardcore going around 45. Somehow I hurt my shins so badly (just by hitting the water) I can barely walk

dear god....

anyone else notice how fucking crazy wakeboard rails are?

 

[T-Bell]

wait your boat was going 45 mph? if your tryin to say that i find that hard to believe considering most top pros go around 36-37 mph maybe 38

 

[skithesprings]

skier goes faster than the boat homie

 

[T-Bell]

ya i know when your cutting the skier is going faster then the boat, he didnt specify if it was the boat or him. i assumed it was him
