Great fall! Actually looked quite graceful, you almost floated down to the ground!!

Good recovery, takes some balls to get straight back on the rock :lol:

Wow!

I hate the noise gear makes when it pops!

Good to hear you are okay.

That was awesome! In a completely gruesome kind of way. Holy smokes, glad to hear that other than some bruises, he's okay! :D
