The Austin eating sh*t thread

[awf170]

I have so many horrible wipeout pics and vids of me I figure I had to make a thread about it. Here are bunch of sequences and vids, plus pathetic excuses of why I didn't land it (almost always complete bs, but it makes me feel better inside :wink

#1. The pine tree was in the landing. Without it there I definitely would have stuck it. (Photos by Eatskisleep) At Wildcat.

#2. The landing was too flat. (Photos by Riverc0il) At Burke.

#3. A tree branch caught my arm before take off. (Photos by Riverc0il) At Burke.

#4. I suck. (Photos by Riverc0il)

#5. Marc screwed me up. (Vid by Marc) At. Wachusett.

#6. Still uploading... (Mt. Baker)

#7. And finally the best wipe out of them all. If the whole tumble was caught on vid it would be borderline amazing. I got about double as much air as I thought I would and I knew this right when I took off. You notice this by the excessive flailing. (Vid by my friend) At Mt. Baker.

Let me see if I can dig anything else up...

It would be cool if you included the locations of your crashes. I'm particularly interested in #7

Done. First one is at Wildcat, next 3 are at Burke. #5 is at Wawa, and #6 and #7 are at Mt. Baker.

You eat little pieces of $hit for breakfast?

Ya. wouldn't be catching me doing anything like that.....I'd probably break something.

cuirous what kind of camara was used to get those sequences in like that. must have a pretty quick shutter speed. If there's one complaing about my camara it's that the quickest possible time fram between shots is maybe 2 seconds.

Suffered my second worst crash ever this week. Hit a ridge in front of a cat track at panorama. My wife says I did a full front flip then landed flat on my back, knocked me silly for a while and I don't know how I didn't break things. No pics of course or I would send them in to country fried videos...and here's you're sign.

The sequences I took were shot on a Canon PowerShot A630. Nice part about the camera is it has a "custom" mode setting so I can have a mode pre-set to rapid fire sequence shotting rather than having to change the settings, which makes getting action shots on short notice very easy.

I can not recall the rapid fire time but it certainly does the trick as I usually get at least one or two high quality action shots per sequence. Unless, of course, I am taking pictures of awf170. In that case, I usually get one or two high quality wipe out pictures per sequence :lol: Though some of the Burke shots were a little fuzzy due to camera movement.

Perhaps someone is trying to tell you to keep your skis on the snow..? :idea:

 

[billski]

keep practicing ---- you're getting good at that.

p.s., I thought this was a "family forum"???

 

[cbcbd]

I like this thread, but my sprained(broken?) thumb doesn't find it amusing.

 

[bvibert]

That's classic, good work! :lol:

Do you ever actually stick any landings??

 

[Warp Daddy]

I FEEEEEL your Pain

 

[eatskisleep]

Such a tight line at Wildcat... I remember just watching you do that and thinking "..."

More wildcat:

Backseat, I don't think he went down, but a good photo still

And another Wildcat photo of Austin:

And another Wildcat photo of Austin:

While I admire your adventurous spirit, this pic looks more like you flunked rope tow
class. I kept looking for the line!

On the Burke day, awf170 did stick one landing. I think I have it on video with him saying something like "yea, one for five!" or something like that. :lol:

There are no swear words or anything else. Quit whining.

You need to tuck those knees when your hucking. Your flailing way to much.
