Baller Chef23 Posted October 19, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 19, 2011 That was scary to watch. I am not sure what happened he looked like he was okay then just lost his left ski. Fortunately he got onto his back as he was going down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gold Member Than_Bogan Posted October 21, 2011 Gold Member Share Posted October 21, 2011 Not to say that looked fun, but I would think (from a basis of zero landed jumps in my life) that sliding up the ramp like that is no where near as painful/dangerous as the ski tip catches I've seen, such as some of The Krista's crashes? Good point about "Agony of Defeat" icon, though! It's actually a really similar sequence to that iconic video (that dates us a bit...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted October 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah, I thought Agony of Defeat as soon as I viewed this one the other day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller unksskis Posted October 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 21, 2011 that would not be considered, "sliding up the ramp", he got punted and kicked up by the ramp. So no, this is much worse than over-correcting and throwing your tips down at the last second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ScarletArrow Posted October 21, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted October 21, 2011 I literally just got off the phone with Kyle's dad, Karl. He said Kyle is doing fine...it was like a car crash, didn't feel until a day or two later. Kyle actually got back on the skis for his 3rd attempt (now that is some stones). Kyle is supposed to be on the BigTen Network tonight at 6:30 (he skis for Ohio State). Karl was glad that his wife, Denise, was present and didn't watch the crash via webcast so she could know that he was alright. For those of you who don't know the Dammeyer's they are an awesome ski family in SW Ohio (St. Mary's) and have a lake called Shortline Shores. They have 3 kids, Kyle, Kevin and Kristen who are just as good of people as they are skiers - and they are awesome skiers! I believe this is where Jodi Fisher kicked off his Ski Skool tour the last two years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TonyLightfoot Posted October 21, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 21, 2011 Yeah, he was fine after that set and was certainly alive and well at the banquet - not even contemplating the possibility that the video of his crash would become quite possibly the most watched water ski video in recent times. Here's the clip from ESPN's "Around the Horn" - yes, THAT ESPN.... ...and from a nationally-syndicated news magazine show called Right This Minute..... and that interview that was being eluded to earlier on the Big Ten Network? Got that too.... Just for his ambassadorial role alone in that interview on the behalf of the NCWSA and especially the schools in the MidWest he should be a shoe-in for an award at the NCWSA Mid-Winter meeting come the new year. He gets my vote for sure.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted October 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 22, 2011 To those of you that are jumpers I know that his left ski caught but why do you think it happened. My son was watching it and I want to make sure he understands what went wrong so he doesn't do it anytime soon. It looked to me like he might have started to go flat and not pull all the way through the ramp and that is why the ski wandered out but I don't jump.

FA Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 It has nothign to do with him being flat. Usually you dont go flat that far infront of the jump. If you look closely at the video. He comes off the second wake and has his left ski off the water. As soon as he sets it in the water it catches and he loses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skidawg Posted October 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted October 22, 2011 That usually happens when u land w to much wgt on left ski, done it, no fun (not quite that big though)! Glad he's alright. Hard to say which type of crash hurts worse, full on out the front or sliding up the jump, they both suck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Horton Posted March 23, 2023 Administrators Share Posted March 23, 2023 I have never seen video but I think Josh Briant went full Evel Knievel a number of years ago and tried to break every bone in his body at college Nationals.

Baller chrislandy Posted March 24, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2023 I remember watching on TV Patrice Martins jump crash after he'd retired, he did a one off invitational comp and crashed big time. Can't find a video of it though 😞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ MISkier Posted March 24, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Not only is he still skiing, he won M2 Slalom at Nationals last year and was 3rd in Trick. No Jump, though, and I don't blame him. Edited March 24, 2023 by MISkier 1 The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller thager Posted March 24, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2023 There was a nasty crash at a tourney in NY about 2002 or 2003. Can't remember who it was but it's shown in one of the popular CD's that came out a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted March 24, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted March 24, 2023 ! seen the best in the world have an unexpected realization they weren't under their own control as they flew through the air . had a few under my watch. but two that stand out was one Jason Seals took ski fly practice out at Bruce Neville place in O- town.. near 300 ' lost control in the air. Then there was the 2010 world jump semi's in Calgary.. they ran out of helicopters , not enough ambulances..... ugly day for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller whitem71 Posted March 24, 2023 Baller Share Posted March 24, 2023 @Taperflex was he ok? 😮 Problem with jump crashes is that although spectacular, they can be pretty devastating in terms of injury. The worst ones I really don’t want to see (I’m thinking Geoff Carrington, Kyle Eade etc). Still, jump is popular with the audience for similar reasons we watched F1 in the 80/90’s - the danger and potential for a big off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
