Pete just missed riding away from two backroll attempts and then followed up with a somewhat spastic Mexican backroll-slash-180 and landed terribly wrong.

[srsmith15]

Wrong - he did break his heal bones.

[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.

Mexicans don't even wakeboard.

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

[madrx2]

[wakeboi15]

[CKTJ4]

[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

[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
