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
-
Damn, how she didn't do a Jake Brown on the mega ramp.

Looks like she broke the head of her femur. That is a really, really nasty injury.
-
Damn…those screws are giant. Hope she has a good recovery, I can’t see something like that being quick.
-
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.
Fucking chode.

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.

slam at 19:40
-
Heavy slam
-
Brutal fall... glad she's on the mend, hopefully we'll be able to see her ripping again soon!
-
Geez, that's even worse than what I thought it was going to be. Reminds me of Harold Hunter's (RIP) ramp to ramp slam.
-
I'm surprised there isn't a net, or some padding of some kind that would have made that not as bad.

Tony said ‘no one has ever fallen between the ramps before’ so that explains why there was no safety measures taken.
-
Those eyebrows are fucked.
-
Jesus Christ. Brutal.
Those eyebrows are fucked.
Too bad she couldn’t grab ahold of one of those fuckers to slow her descent.
-
Looks like she’s doing ok as of a few hours ago....

Holy fuck.

Did her wedding ring fall off during the slam?

That's serious. An older ripper I kinda knew broke his hip like that and quit skating cold turkey. Seemed both harsh and sensible.

This is the one that usually means game over for senior citizens, right? I really hope she can come back from this.

When did Jason Ellis get an Antwuan amount of tattoos
-
Rough watch. Not so much for the slam but for Tony talking over Lizzie the entire time.

it was a rough watch from her saying "like" twice a sentence.
-
Holy fuck that was brutal to watch... And then there's the fall the flat.
Really hope she heals up well, I've always enjoyed her skating.

The flying salami (as per thrasher caption). Funny the things you remember
-
That was way worse than I thought it would be. Surprised shes ok.
Tony said worst possible trauma on a skateboard. Obviously hes never taken a shinner on the first kickflip of the day smh
-
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?

HAHA love that
-
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.

She's out of her fucking mind...and still seems so calm and mellow.
-
that podcast was 3 things
Tony Hawk trying to get ahead of people blaming him or anyone he knows for the slam, in a very obvious fashion, probably the best part(s)
Both of them talking over Lizzy
That clip. Holy shit that slam is gnarly

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

Pain does not exist in this dojo

they used to run nets under these all the time on bobs.
-
Does she mention what happened. Hit a rock or wheel bite ? Its weird Almost looks Like she got pitched.
The thought of listening to the thing and jason Eli’s talking to try to find out makes me want to kill myself.

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.
Makes sense then.
-

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.

Heavy slam
-
man, she must be very happy that the ragdoll nickname is already taken in the world of skateboarding
these slam clips are very educational, because I'd always think that having enough speed will let you clear the gap even if you fuck up very badly, but no so much apparently

I think you do as long as you hit the lip.
Halfway up Tranny? Not so Much.

What eyebrows? Are you talking about Tony again?
-
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.

1. That was a super fucked slam
2. What the fuck is up with birdmans eyebrows
3. I actually watched this on break at work and did anyone else get the vibe at some parts that Tony was giving Ellis looks like “shut the fuck up” and trying to control the direction of her story way too much?
-
Bro there are no fucking eyebrows here wtf is going on
(https://i.ibb.co/PTcRjs6/20210527-083611.jpg) (https://ibb.co/9wbJgmr)
This is a more pressing issue than her slam or UFOs, respectfully

While either may work, did you mean respectfully or respectively?

Yes, something crazy like 50% of seniors to fracture their "hip" aka pelvis or femur pass away within a year. Really sad statistic, lot of them can't recover from it.
-
The pic with the screws is so gnarly, poor Liz. I imagine if you skate the Mega you must sign a liability document in case of injury/death..

Pretty sure during the BTS of Heath you see Him signing a waiver before the attempts start.
-
Holy shit that slam was gnarly. Crazy actually seeing it on that Hawk Wolf vid. Had to skip around cause I didn't really need to lose and hour of my life to this but glad she's alright. Throw a net under that thing.
-
holy rag doll
-
I'm on the boat of not having a net in that gap is fuckin' negligent as hell and they're lucky she doesn't sue the cunts.

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.
-
So basically Tony didnt learn anything from the Sky Brown incident?
She could have died trying his vert gap and a few months later it's the same thing with Lizzie? "Dont worry, nah nobody has ever fallen in between, you can do it, it's SUPER EASY!'
-
Jason Ellis looks like a “rapper” from Bozeman, Montana.
Slam was brutal. Hope for a speedy & smooth recovery for Lizzie.
Aye yo Tony, get some fuckin’ safety pads on your shit! Just because it hasn’t happened doesn’t mean it won’t.
-
I can tell most people didn’t listen or watch by these comments.
1. It’s Elliot Sloan’s ramp not Tony’s
2. Tony wasn’t there at the time of the slam
3. Waivers were signed and the death gap was discussed before hand.
-

-
ready or not, does it matter? she went for it and ate tremendous amounts of shit. she says in the interview that her body kind of bailed on its own, and she knew there was no padding in the gap and went for it anyway.
I don't get what you're trying to get at here
-
I am not trying to talk shit on anyone but it’s like work if someone wants you to to something you think is unsafe tell them to get fucked, but it’s like when you’re a kid and there’s a big plate of food
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
She skates good and I wish her the best
-
Slam happened months ago. She's already skating again.
