They're trying to launch their ski-boarder friend from the pier as the boat pulls out, without him being dragged across the end of it, but he let go once the tension had lifted him high. I don't know if it could have worked - my sense of physics says that as soon as his friends let go, he'd have fallen too fast to clear the pier and probably barked his knees on it. Then, even if it had worked, the board would have been angled wrong when he hit the water, and no way could he have got up on it to ski.
How everyone I've ever seen successfully getting up on a board or skis did it: Get in the water _first_. Position yourself above the board with knees and waist bent and the board angled to lift when the boat starts pulling. Once the board is planing fast enough to take your weight, rise to your feet - and don't be dismayed if you lose your balance a few times before you get it right.
use to do a standing jump start in the day on a slalom ski, sandy shore, would be in knee deep water with ski raised, idle boat out til line was taut, yell hit it bounce a few times and you're going
I don't care if it is a BB gun. The instructor should not be downrange while people are handling guns and he should not be walking in front of the muzzle of a gun in someone's hands. That is wrong on so many levels.
I remember the shooting gallery that used to come to the county fair each year, run by a lovely older couple, and in later years by the wife, as apparently the husband had passed on. They used Browning .22 auto rifles with brass deflectors on the bottom and shooting disintegrating bullet .22 short gallery loads. The part that is relevant for this gif is that the booth operator always stood alongside the shooter on this side of the counter, not behind it.
#1 Is that a range? Fire the moron for walking in front of her like that. She accidentally covers him because of his own movement. He really does it to himself. And he's obviously aware that she's a novice and doesn't know what she's doing. #2 When he graduates from watercolors to crayons, we know he's USMC material. #9 Looks like the Target in Harmar Township PA. And I doubt they are required to keep their parking lots ice-free. Sidewalks, maybe. Store floors, sure. But you are supposed to know how to walk in winter conditions outdoors. #10 Never put the fat ones on top.
#1: I'd be standing somewhere else if I was him. #2: "Tonight on CNN: the ever expanding scourge of racist White babies." #3: This honestly could not possibly have ended any better. #6: I can't stand when people touch my ears either. #7 ends too soon. #8: Possible Darwin nominee right there. If the referral shock doesn't kill you, the hemorrhaging or fractured skull just might. Talk about dying of stupid. #9: As a Canadian living on the prairies, I relate to this. Good boots are a must. #10: Close one, poor girl almost got crushed by that chinosaurus.
#10 my daughter is a competitive cheer leader. Watching her team practice is hilarious. Girls falling all over the place. I was asked to wait outside when I laughed out loud when they were learning how to do back flips. Sorry, it was just so hilarious watching my beautiful wise ass kid bust her face.
#10. That right there folks is what practice is all about. They will prolly laugh it off and go right back to it till they get it right.
ReplyDelete#10 You GO grllll ! Embrace your bigness! Yes!

ReplyDeleteRight? What the hell were they even trying to accomplish?

ReplyDelete#6 What a crock of shit.
#9 - Looks like Target is about to have a law suit against them.
ReplyDelete#1 - I hope that's a BB gun.
ReplyDeleteHis reaction should have been a knuckle sandwich

DeleteI'm wondering if the guy on ice is the same guy that you had a gif of the other day trying to roller skate.
ReplyDelete1. No Karen, it's NOT a bazooka.

#1 even if it is a BB/pellet/air soft, that's a deadly habit to get into.

ReplyDelete#1 looks like a carnival booth, with a toy gun. It doesn't look like anything to be too dogmatic over.
ReplyDelete#6 looks like a scene from the old Kung Fu Theater movies.
#5 bogside - wins the top comment prize.
#6, what we used to call, “Demo-kido”, vaguely cool but silly at best.
