There is definately a stage in the learning curve that the face is a very vulnerable spot. The motocross helmets don't seem to do much good either. I am pretty happy with the hockey helmet I started using although I haven't tested it really bad yet.......
Tim, While cleaning your superjet I found your missing chunk of upper lip lodged in the handlebars. I went to put it on ice for you but dropped it and my fiendish pup gulped it down. I tried to induce vomiting but no go, instead I will wait for it to come out the other end (if you still want it).

This is the second face injury I have heard of while rolling, RMBC had same issue. He needs to post pics of his new helmet, it is the perfect fix I think? Hey Niel, where can we check this helmet out?
nah, those 24/7 machines are roll monsters.. like tim said, he was staring at the bars.. he hit the bars.. i rolled butti's conversion on the first wave i hit, with no more than 20 seconds riding that boat altogether.. when i landed i rolled the next wave, landed it, and rolled the next wave after that.. then brought it back to the boat.. it's just technique (and sometimes just plain dumb luck)...
thats my opinion.. i'm sticking to it!
dont stare at your ski!
i gotta start taking my own advice for backies. watch slutty/pancaker/stoyer videos when they do backies, total neck reacharound.. thats what its all about right there..
Surprised you dont have the 24/7 kit yet them SAKI. Is a backy poss. on one?
oh hell yes.....
that kit was MADE to roll and flip..thats IT.
maros has one left....all carbon, I think he wants 1700 + shipping for it..its used, but he states its prefect...
he will also make you a FG one, to the tune of 1700...but thats brand new WITH steering..
i debated on buying this kit from motosurfer in the beginning...hell, I was the one that purchased it in the first place....but after riding it 4-5 times, I re-decided that Im not a fixed bar kinda guy...
All these from roll attempts? Thats encouraging. I guess I am gonna have to wear a football helmet till I get it down pat. All I have done so far is rip the wet suit a few times which hopefully means I am keepng the bars ow enough to prevent this carnage.
ollies right....the 24/7's are like vampire ski's......
butti's image has gone from babyface to that of a 20 year hardened felon..all thats missing is the teardrop tatoo under his eye
dude you would rotate alot faster if you had a shave
