3 Backroll Attempts, 2 Broken Ankles

[madrx2]

how did you manage breaking you ankle?

[wakeboi15]

Haha hit 2 repeatedly... nice video though, you'll get it

[meat656shop]

that fucking hurts landing like that  hah

[xwakeridaxify]

try cuttin out less about ten feet away from the wake

thats dangerous

[CKTJ4]

nice try. u r so close

[MrSnowboardnzx]

you guys know you're supposed to have the bindings tight enough that the board stays on for jumps and stuff, but loose enough so when you wipe out you're foot will come out of the binding so you don't break you're ankle

[adrenalineaddict93]

i sprained my ankles the other day falling like u did.

[Mrdevandude]

Don't worry... it happens to JJ Reddick all the time

[WhoaSketch]

Haha "Some kinda mexican backroll" awesome!

[stefanbuurman]

Just over 8 weeks ago i ripped my frontal knee ligament (acl) with my back-roll attempt...

Now looking at reconstructive surgery and 9 to 12 months recovery before i can try again...

[rockguitar22]

cwb board? i have a cwb and the bindings arent all that great

[savage147]

lucky for the hinge bindings.

[rodneyws1977]

@savage147 What exactly do you mean? You've got me scared because my bindings have hinges.

[p8ntball15]

dang, that was crazy

[pepperson13]

i did almost the same thing today...my ankle kills :P

[frecklewake]

fuck that woulda hurt sooooo bad!!!!

[legomoviem4ker]

Man, broken anything or not, that'd still suck to walk for like a week

[jcrater1817]

Dude. The second was was beautiful. He landed it, but for some reason he sat back when he landed. Why did he do that? He couldve easily stood up and rode off.

[CalvinKalvin]

@strikepackagebravo that has got to be the most useless advice ever for this wakeboarder. Proper advice would say that you are over doing the roll abit so just lay of it. And look for your landing dont close your eyes...

[delewareboy]

Mexicans don't even wakeboard.

[aR3DF0Xa]

@delewareboy they do gardenwork

[bruffin1010]

dude i just slip outta my bindings when i bail hard. my feet are flexable though

[batdad187]

OUCH!!! Almost had the second one man... thats what happens when you throw it late tho, lots of pop and no flip!

[killuinstyle]

well a mexican roll is a type of back roll and is considered a back roll in contest. but definitely not a front flip considering that's more of a raley cut and not to mention you spin the complete opposite direction

[schlabach11]

thats not a back roll , a back roll is flipping over backward , your doing a mexican back roll , or front flip ,

[h2oskierandproud]

ive just spent 2 days at wakeboard school and that is definetly a back roll,, when you go over backwards its actually called a tantrum shows how much you know about wakeboarding

[kalebholwell]

@h2oskierandproud U need to go to a diff. school because for a tantrum u come in and tripflip back one handed trick this is a backoll in the vid

[slataaa]

is this on chapman lake

[srsmith15]

Yes - Chapman Lake

[Preytor13]

breaking a foot bone while wakeboarding really sucks because you have to force your mangled foot out of the tight-fitting boots

[brettman123]

he seemed to need to pop more cuz he was spinning to fast which caused him to slide out... sooo close though

[snowxracer12]

he didnt break anything. listen to the end. but still good

[srsmith15]

Wrong - he did break his heal bones.

[snowxracer12]

oh well at the end it says he thought he did. but w/e it sucks if he really did but good vid anyway

[sunnysidedown04]

@srsmith15 i wish i had heal bones, they'd never break

[srsmith15]

Yep - he did have a couple breaks and was out for almost a year, but came back this Summer and landed it. Search "Pete Lands his Backroll" to see it.

[margiedeasis57]

@srsmith15 shit man! he's got some balls. what speed was that?

[wakeboardgooroo]

Your Cutting way to hard but good tries

[pb2xtrent]

i keep having the same problem of cutting it hard but if i dont i never get enough air or length of the jump. any suggestions?

[insanemac]

quit cutting hard. you should be able to do this from 8-10 ft out with a smooth(not aggressive cut). If you are trying to cut too hard while learning, expect to raley and spin, then catch a toeside edge to faceplant. Harder cuts come after mastering the technique grasshoppers

[jboneill]

landed like that before broke the bones across the top of my feet while still in binding.. not on backroll though.. i dont know how the fuck he ended up like that on a backroll thats like a 1 to 2 try trick and you land it

[Lardball28]

lucky he had a life jacket

[sfulster]

dont charge the wake so hard. good edge. then get ur pop by straighting ur legs and throw your hips forward and look over ur lead shoulder. dont forget to keep the handle nice and low. then spot your landing and ride away clean

[wakebeoch]

dude that wipe out at like 20 sec. in, ive done that b4,it hurts like a bitch huh

[turley3]

ouchh

n dude, dont push ur self n 2 it, take it nice n easy, rememeber hard turn in n push ur body round, relax n keep ur handle low

;D

[srsmith15]

He now has it nailed - search "Pete Lands his Backroll!"

[MrCraigHater]

is that mario lopez?

[dontdiecurious]

keep it up man and go again!!!

[jonnyfeld]

time to pick up the wakeskate and wakesurf

[furrybarry]

Ow, the big blokes always seem to cop it harder.

[saxkid07]

I have a friend that broke his ankle trying a raley. he said getting the boot off did most of the damage. Guess it's wakeskating time?

[my74fire]

@saxkid07- I just broke and tore all ligaments in left ankle doin a raley behind a boat that i had no buisiness throwin that behind (no tower, cheap rope, no sacks, nothing...dumb) didnt have enough pull back and caught frnt edge and turned my riding season into a surfin season lol.

[Greendotz]

Man, getting his feet out the bindings couldnt have been fun for him.

[jimmymoss7644]

man that sucks! was it it the end of summer? hopefully...

[srsmith15]

He actually physically broke one heal, actually. The other was just severely bruised. When I posted this video, we thought he had broken both ankles, but one fractured heal was the final carnage.

[0ut4thecount]

anyhow...it still hurt

[wakeboarder3780]

you actually physically broke you ankles on that? It didnt look fun but it didnt look bone breaking. Anyways nice attempts man, keep it up!
