Raleys to Blind and Broken Teeth!

forrest · Wed Apr 16, 08 5:16 pm **Raleys to Blind and Broken Teeth!**

Guys, I have good news and bad news.

I finally landed my raley to blind. Super stoked!

Bad news, 2 tries later I broke out two of my teeth and split my lip. I was rolling suicide leash, fell backward and got yanked a little as the kite dove to the water, board flew off my feet and into the air as I landed on my back, caught the wind and landed on my face. Five stiches in the upper lip and I have to go get what's left of the two teeth extracted tomorrow.

All things considered, I'm so f@#king stoked to have finally landed that trick after working on it since July of last year and I get to munch on vicodin for the next week or so!

I'm not sure what I could have done to prevent this. Riding boots will fix it for sure.

Props to Amery for throwing back mobes when I showed up, you stoked me out dude and sorry I stole the kiddie pool from you!

Bummer dude. . .those teeth come in handy. All those vicodin will plug you up for sure. Get some fiber into your system to help loosen things up and hope to see you out on the water soon.

AHa, I thought about gold teeth!

I'll spare everyone the pix, it's not pretty.

BTW, The wind was awesome! The water level was super high, and the kiddie pool was huge and actually somewhat warm from the Sun.

Congratulations on the raley to blind; and really sorry to hear about your teeth man. I wouldn't go for the gold though. I've got a couple of gold caps, and when any metal, like a fork, touches them it does not feel good. Take care of yourself.

Congrats on the sweet move. Sorry to hear about the teeth. I'm sure Katie and your mom will still think your handsome. Hope you feel better quick!

10 days, but I'll be ready to go in 5 days! Always good to start the season with an injury to put you in a cautious state!

Today looks like it's going to be money, just walked outside and it's nearly t-shirt weather and it's windy! Summer is approaching!
