I once heard someone say, "Never ski faster than your Angels can fly".... You all have some pretty fast angels.

There was a fall somewhere around 1:15-1:20 in your first clip where it looked like the person could have easily been tangled up in the tow line. Watching your clips brought back so many memories and similar wipe out's.

BensonWdby - Good stuff! Nice to see that many others bite the dust and I am not alone in that regard. At least two videos show a poor fellow separated from his ski with both boots still on his feet. Seeing that is a fist for me. Thanks for posting. - Deerfield

A lot of the high end boots (hard bodies) are designed to release. Goode acutally uses a 'velcro-like' hook/pile to hold the boots in place. Some designs have both boots on a plate and the whole plate release.

If you are looking into those - make sure you have room on your credit card...

My first reaction when I crash is to toss the rope and try to get to my back shoulder. Fortunately for me - no line entanglement yet ..
