In extreme sports, the best athletes are the ones who send it hard. Some of the worst athletes, on the other hand, are the ones who send it too hard. Anyone can point em’ downhill and rip it off a jump with no control, landing it and doing it cleanly is where talent is made.
I’m not saying this guy is a bad athlete. He actually seems to send the jump quite well, up until he loses control. My guess is the boat was going faster than he expected, or he just wasn’t ready for the speed he wanted.
“That went from hell yeah to hell no real fast.”
I would love to see someone land a jump like that on water skis in person. Or maybe just see someone hist a jump like that in person. Either way, I’m sure it would be crazy.
Let’s try not to do this while we’re enjoying the warm spring weather this Memorial Day Weekend, please! (If it’s actually warm enough to be out on the water, wherever you are!)
