this bummed me out just because of the general precarity of all this, man! One second you up there next second your husband is watching you carted off in an ambulance a la Deanna Templeton

but also I've been watching vans womens park and Lizzie is one of maybe 6 people on earth with a good combi run. so watching the olympics in a parking spot outside a bar this summer (or whenever) is gonna be even more boring

She slammed....the way the are talking about it sounds kike she got raped or something....

First of, FOH. This has to be one of the most tone deaf and offensive things I’ve read in a long time.

Second of all, and far less severe, check your shit before you accidentally drop more anti Semitic slurs in your dumb ass posts.

That was my first thought, too. But she’s young and appears otherwise healthy, and she doesn’t look too phased. I’m optimistic for her recovery.

Tony said ‘no one has ever fallen between the ramps before’ so that explains why there was no safety measures taken.

Lizzie really rips, glad she's back. I'm not a mega-ramper, but it doesn't take a genius to see that you might want to have a net or something under that gap.

Have I landed in some strange alternate reality where Jason Ellis has some kind of cultural cache? I know I'm out of it, but is there some Jason Ellis-shaped hole in our society that needed filling?

From personal experience, the only thing that was worse than my broken femur is my fucked up discs in my back.  Hopefully the newer technology available now makes recovery way faster for her.  She was always fun to watch.

Definitely building a lava gap at the diy next. DIY the hell out of it with dollar store vinegar and baking soda.

Kind of looks like her legs just gave out/was of balance. Like someone who has no business skating a mega ramp. I'm sure she can skate that thing so maybe she was just tired

Not sure, I don’t think she says it exactly, but the rundown seemed to indicate that she just froze due to inexperience on a megaramp.  She says she dropped in, got to the flat....”and my body said, like, no.”

She practiced on a big roll-in, but the slam-ramp was a drop-in.  Her 1st attempt, she said she was so focused on the launch at the end, she messed up the drop-in.  2nd attempt (slam) she nailed the drop-in but game over when she got to the flat.

Suprised. Being a vert skater and being on birdhouse figured she would’ve done a bunch mega stuff already.

Bob's is like a fifty foot drop down to a river, so it makes more sense, but it really is reckless to have no net or foam for a 20+ foot drop. This slam was kind of inevitable on that ramp with that set up, but Lizzy knew that they didn't put in the foam insert in that day, so it's not like she can really blame anyone. Could have just sat out that day or insisted they make it safer.

Anyway, it's crazy lucky she landed the way she did, I'm sure she got a concussion from just her brain bouncing around on impact, but her neck or spine could have easily been involved. I'm sure some Mega Ramp Safety Council will spring forth from this slam.

I'm so happy that she ok because that looked really brutal for anyone to take.

I don't know how that could have happened, but it looks like how I felt pumping out of the corner of a bowl once after generating a lot of speed from the other walls. Gravity, momentum, and centrifugal force possibly just did weird stuff in conjunction resulting in my legs just crumpling under me which left me on the flat with a hipper and out for a few weeks.

Anyway, just a reminder that she is one of a short list of people to ever complete the loop and gnarly in general.

She sort of inadvertently did the “anti pump” on that.  As in, she bled off speed by sinking her upper body into to tranny. If she had stayed stiff she probably would have cleared the gap.

It could be the angle this was filmed from but it looks like this gap is more of a step-up than some other megas.

You guys never dropped in and went a little too much forwards? The only difference here is that the ramp will kill you if you're out of balance at the wrong time. And eve Grosso had a slam like that, only the launch was bigger(=less speed at the top) and there was a net under it.

I can tell most people didn’t listen or watch by these comments.

2. Tony wasn’t there at the time of the slam
3. Waivers were signed and the death gap was discussed before hand.

Once you touch it, it’s yours

Wish her the best for a speedy recovery that slam and the graphic of the X-rays was gnarly as fuck it made me feel sick

I am a massive arsehole but I have to make the observation that she’s not gonna want bangs for the longest time. Sorry to hear that Lizzie cause bangs are sick

Also I would never skate that I’m not trying to say I would have done better I would have frozen for sure, that shit scary as hell
