Looked like he was running really good up until he tripped.

actually watching the skips he took...he was running good at the very start...but each skip got a little looser... had that happen a few times desert racing...tuned in in the whoops than it slips away a bit and snowballs

I'm wondering if wave distance changed??
He was running strong at the beginning, but your right, it started to bounce a bit, and didn't compensate for it.
Nasty bath nonetheless.

That boat is a death trap self-stuffing, The tunnel, Sponsors and the shape of the deck help hold the thing down.

boats I do not know anywhere near as well as dirt... but in the dirt it's an ocillation thing.. once it starts loke that each bounce is 'loaded' from the enertia of the one before and gets amplified... at that point gas or brakes spell doom. on bikes and quads is you shift your weight abit and ever so slightly drag the back brake you can sometimes get you out of it..usually with your heart punding and a big lump in your throat.. part of the art of racing was knowing the bike, and making a calculated guess if you were going to reach the end of the whoop section before you crashed...

it's all in the following.....For every action...there is an opposite and equal reaction!!!!!!!
