I thought I would start a new thread for those of us who appreciate a good faceplant. Of course there are few better wipeouts than occur while barefoot waterskiing due to the speed and lack of slats on the feet. I have shot miles of video on my barefoot journey the last year and a hlaf, and have posted some cool video.
Here's the one you have been waiting for. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgwEZqa7XuU - Barefoot Wipeouts, Faceplants & Headers ------------- Got Foot? |

This is great stuff. Check out "Fred Wingate Crashes" on youtube. Also rather entertaining. Fred is always ready to provide some quality ski/footing entertainment. Notice the old school Nautique in the videos ------------- '05 206 Limited '88 BFN |

I was surprised at how many falls I (we) took. Andy on the front to back and back wakes, me on the toe-hold and front wakes. I still have more, I was only thru the Mid Winter footage when I ran the video.
Surprised I (we) survived that stuff and still wanted to do it the next time! ------------- Got Foot? |

Roy I am not sure if I needed to see that. Although it is always funny when it is not your face.  ------------- If you're going through hell, keep going http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2999" rel="nofollow - 89 Ski <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5685" ta |

Me too, Kapla, those are a scream. It is like "hey, look at me, I am cool" then....WHAM! About 20 seconds into the video my friend Dave hits his first one-foot, smiles a weak smile, then gets slammed. I remember that day, and we were all laughing so hard in the boat! ------------- Got Foot? |
