lol jks man that a bitch... ive never broken anything cool ... just my pussy little thumb lol at least the seasons pretty much over
 
the paramedics cut my new siver pants too so they could get to my pelvis im pretty pissed
 
im so sick of watervilles park this year, everything sucks, big tables with flat short landings are so gay. im so much happier at loon this year
 
I love Loon's park, my favorite on the east right now, except last time I went the staircase was gay.
 
The only thing I dis-like about Loon is it kind of sucks for lapping, you either have to take the REALLY slow triple or the gondola, whereas at WV they have the poma lift, but I like how much longer Loon is so you get more hits and also can hit the half-pipe.
 
loon's fuckin sick yo!

my buddy thayer told me about this crash.. i dont remember how he knew about it tho.. thats weird. you dont go to proctor do you?
 
if you learn to read, you would realize that the whole reason his name came up was because he UNDERSHOT a jump, and someone said that that was worse than overshooting. dont be such an idiot
 
i did speed check and crap and watched my friend hit it he looked like he was hauling over the jump and still cased it a tad so i just went faster and hucked myself after i woke up he said it looked like i did 7 daffys and 4 spread eagles..
 
at wawa i overshot the last jump on the right side (like 40 ft) by about 20 ft (20 ft past the landing) and made a huge hole. Luckily the snow was wicked soft so I was fine, I almost even landed too, haha. They changed the jump or something so my speed was way off. Overshooting does suck tho, especially on ice.
 
A racer girl over shot the 60tf step-up at Boreal this past weekend. She was basicly dead when they got to her, no pulse and not breathing. She was resuscitated, but not breathing well. She was measured to have gone 150ft.
 
Ask Rory Will about overshooting. Oy...

Overshooting is so goddamn scary. There is nothing worse than going off a big ass jump and being about 20 feet in the air when you should be landing. No amount of arm flailing and leg kicking can save you. I did this really bad like 3 years ago at Mt. Snow when they had their big table built up to around 60 ft or so. I was scared shitless of undershooting b/c I slightly cased the first time, so I hauled ass into the jump the 2nd time. Absolutely boosted. Hit my knees to my chest, knocked the wind out of myself for a good while. Bit the shit out of my lip. Nasty concussion. Other than that I was lucky. Overshooting is a nightmare.
 
overshooting can fuck you up big time.

When i broke my back, I was going up the trnny of the jump thinking I would case the jump and then boom figure out I,m gonna land way down the landing or after the landing. Try to stay cool spin another 180 so I have a slight chance of landing and then BANG no more landing compress like a egg thrown from a 40 story high building onto concrete.
