HeHe. Did that one hurt?

Need your buddy's cam footage of that one too.

both me and the sled walked away without a scratch, pretty much. broke both my cool guy hand guards and wasted the visor on my helmet. otherwise, all good. i was the only one involved in the crash. my buddy was ahead of me and just caught the end of my rag doll when he turned his head. must have hit the lip wrong as it sent me sidways and nose high. so i tail slapped at an angle which ejected me off to the side, hence the reason you can see the my sled after the initial impact on the helmet cam. should have hit my brakes harder but i don't think it would have kept me from crashing. the real bummer is the third guy you see in the video had just been sitting at the bottom of the hill filming. he stopped filming one jump before i crashed. he was on his way up the hill to do it himself when he saw me go off the lip wrong, didn't see me land, but knew it wasn't going to end well, so turned around and came back down.

I love the redneck sounds your buddy is making when he comes up to you.

what sounds is that? i was laughing, he asked if i was ok, and i said, "that didn't go well" my sled running as i walked up to it was the only other thing i could hear.

Would be cool to see another shot of that. Looks like it hurt. I would need a Bud Light or shot after that one.

I guess it was you, I thought it was him laughing at you.

 

[pura vida]

no, that was just me laughing at myself. unfortunately there is no other footage. he stopped recording from the bottom of the hill less than 30 sec before i crashed. actually didn't hurt at all. once it ejected me i just relaxed and went with it until i slowed down enough to walk out of it.

for a slightly different perspective, here is the same jump, the same day, only 20 min before i crashed.
