so today i had an amazing day. after long day of fun skiing, i decided to hit an urban (my first urban ever) in the parking lot of my ski mountain that myself and pretty much everyone i know has been scoping out but noone has ever went for it.. it was getting dark so you could see my skies sparking on the kinks and the snow was coming down hard..after 4 attempts, the camera shuts off because the snow was getting it wet and wouldnt work..my 5th try i get it and my friends are freaking out and all the observing cars in the parking lot are honking their horns.. (i know its a claim but i was so excited)its not on film yet i am still happy because i realize its not the film that really matters..
Any stories of not getting something that means alot to you on film?
 
i did a pull out with your mom once.. to bad it wasnt on film hahahajk jk

i did a noes butter 9 once the kid wasnt filming cuz i got a new suit and he did reconize me and didnt know i was decent
 
one tie i ate shit really hard on a 7 and got a conncussion i really wish i had it on film
 
word, i caught an edge riding away switch after like a rodeo 5 i think and my shoulder popped out. i proceeded to pop my shoulder back into place and let out a warcry. my buddy was like yo i got the trick on tape but that badass terminator shit i didnt and i was like shit that would be the ultimate badass film, but yeah sometimes you wish you had film [/claim]
 
one time me and my buddy were doing a train on a rail and i nutted myself. my friend then proceded to pretty much kick my off the rail and jump over me. but the kid who was filmin is a dumbass and was filming the sky when all this happened!! needless to say i was pretty pissed.
 
one time i did a 180 over a like 40ft "spine" which actually was just a mad fucked up jump.. needless to say it was made of pure ice, and i caught my edge on the lip somehow and almost literally broke my ass. wish i had that on film.
 
In 7th grade I'm pretty sure I gave myself a concussion on skiblades by doing (unintentionally) half of a front flip off what I thought was a mellow roller. I'd love to have that on film.
And I'm not too mad at not having this on film, but the first misty flip I ever landed was in front of no one. I was on vacation at Winter Park with my family and took one last lap through the park on our last day around closing time, decided to end my season with a trick I'd been trying to land all week and stomped the shit out of it. The feeling was so tight, but I looked around and realized that no one saw it, lol.
 
one time i did a 270 on to an urban rail without any lip at all just like in that level 1 movie, but it was entirely to prove it to myself and no others. and i didnt land it, so this isnt a claim, the rail was too steep for the landing i kind of washed out, if the camera was on me enough and i wanted it super duper bad i wouldve stomped it but it was more about the spin on so i didnt care.

 
on time i tried a frontflip 720 on my friends tiny old sketchy tramp with no pads on the springs. Overshot my landing and sacked myself on the side, flipped over and smacked my head on the metal rod holding it up, then landed in dog shit. No lie, i wish i got it on camera...
 
i had a big one kayaking this summer:
Decided to attempt a new line that I had never seen tried before down a pretty big set of rapids on the river i was working on. I almost made it, but just barely didn;t clear the big hole and got sucked in and trashed for a good while. As I was fighting to get out my shoulder dislocated and I had to bail out of the boat and swim the rest of the rapid with my shoulder hanging out f the socket. This was the end of my kayak season and resulted in a surgery from which I am still recovering. And the kid who was supposed to be filming me missed the whole thing.
 
everything i does should have been filmed, then i could make all kinds of hilarious selfedits
 
in 7th grade i had those straight skis, so you had to get way on edge just to turn. i was carving some turns down a trail i never been on an just after i got way on edge i hit a headwall that i couldnt see cause the light was so flat. I did a complete lincoln loop and landed on my skis perfectly, 1 kid saw it and asked me if i did a lincoln loop and i said ya. nothing else was spoke about it
 
Once I caught an edge on top of a big flat down and basically did a lincoln over the down part and landed crouched on my skis.
 
Well. This seems a perfect little thread to get my anger out.

Today, myself and Jason Arens, really the heart and soul behind Hidden Woods Media at the current day and age, made a trip to Boreal to hit some of the only real jumps around the Lake Tahoe Basin. After quite a productive day of shooting, I head home, and as I am unpacking everything, I realize that the tape which I had used today, and filled up, must have fallen out of my pocket, because it was nowhere else to be found. I now, rather feeling productive and having a great time editing, feel like an unproductive piece of shit. Sooo long story short, a long day of fucking awful hard work for nothing. Great ! I think I might make another thread about this so NS can help my grieve.
