Everyone has had there fair share of falls over the years, it's part of learning.... I remember my instructor saying to me when I last had a lesson that the main reason people fall is bad/wrong technique.....

I've got myself to a level where I rarely fall over now, however it still happens from time to time. My most spectacular fall has to be once when I was stood still waiting for our group. Still no idea how it happened but down I went. I want even moving.... :oops:

I wonder if anyone has ever jumped the gap..... :lol:

Ha and there's to thinking it was just me. My OH laughs at me ever time I open my iPad the first page I visit is this. Addiction is definitely the word. But I say so what.... Love it!

I have only been posting on here for a couple of yrs now but have to agree, that this site is friendly and you get a lot of great info and knowledge. I know on other forums people have get togethers or book a group holiday etc, does this or has this ever happened with j2skiers?

Rossyhead, are you talking about this picture? I'm unsure this is from this season as only 2today I've seen 2 different versions of the same pic. I haven't seen the press release so correct me if I'm wrong....

I couldn't.

I can't either... I'm noticing it a lot recently with YouTube. There's only certain clips you can watch, unsure why. I'm sure someone will have an answer... :evil:

Before everyone else says it I think insurance has been done to death already. Bandit has provided alot of great info over the yrs on insurance. If you do a search on it you should find the massive thread from last yr. Id like to think there is enough reading in their for you...

Got to say I agree with dave though... I hadnt considered health as any issue, maybe go and have blood tests to be sure....

Far que is right, about the pasta but if your eating it for lunch you will find this works against you. Your best eating this on an evening as it stores as energy for the following day, I'm a cyclist and before any big event it's best to carb load a few days in advance and then you eat slightly less as your doing the exercise.

It's a complex science but basically eat pasta on an evening to replenish the fuel you have burnt during the day. Eat slow release breakfast such as porridge, bananna or whole weat toast etc. at lunch if your eating any carb then try to minimise it and try to eat whole wheat as white bread pasta will give you a boost to start but then make you feel tired as it stores.

Power bars would be better than chocolate, and energy gels such as power bar are good but only give you a quick hit. You can get similar effects from sweets, jelly babies, skittles all easy to eat and store in pockets.

Best bet is eat small and often, And stay clear of alcohol.
