Well today in the medium park i went to hit this 20ft flat box, that had a whack lip so you had to really pop to get up to it.  so i came in and straight up did this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgM-qM8rMT0  (someone please imbed or link)





Except i slid for a good 2-3 seconds headfirst all the way over the box and then dropped off. 
It was right under one of the main lifts at the bottom and some old dude was laughing and asked if i was okay when i went to pick up my skis.  I have to admit it must of looked funny. 

So whats Your's?

Spelling embarrassing wrong in the subject line of your thread? And I have too many instances... just none that stand out.

 at Big Boulder, I was dropping in to hit a hip that I've hit many times. There was a group of newschoolers waiting/watching and some boarders hiking and filming. I drop in and once I hit the tranny my skis double eject and I do a sweet faceplant into the ramp of the hip. Luckily it didn't hurt since the snow was really soft/deep. I still don't know how it happened, but I think one of my skis wasn't really hooked into the binding.

id,have to say mine was at big boulder on that same hip.i was doing fronts all day fine,so me and four other kids go into a front(flip) train over it and mid way through(as im upside down) i just stop spinning.it was the worst! so i just landed on my back.i got right up but it must have looked pretty ridiculous.

after some deliberation, I decided that it was an instance on a c-box where lip on the box wasn't covered and I caught the inside edge and ended up going down the box on my back. I slid down and off the whole thing on my back/head with both skis attached. Only to get approached by some other boarders asking if I was alright, which I was.

One of my bindings on my skis was broken but still usable, they just came off a bit more easily...I went off a small kicker and did a 180, like 2 sec after i landed and was riding it out switch..the one ski came off and i tumbled down the hill...had to chase the dam ski too...

according to my friends it was one of the funniest things ever.

so i naturally spin rightside, and nobody at my home mountain really cares about spinning unnatural except me. i have a pretty good reputation at bristol as being a decent skiier, and one day i started trying to learn left spins. turns out they are kinda hard.  i spent the next hour of that day hiking the same jump trying to nail left fives. everytime i land leaning way forward and flip forward, or i just underrotate and catch an edge. i smash my face in the snow at least 5 times. everyone on the chairlift thinks im spinning naturally since its to the left, and they are all watching an 17 year old kid wreck himself time after time trying to 5 a tiny ass jump. then a 10 year old kid does a 5 safety right as im about to go and his friend tells me "you should ask him how to do it."

i was doing a switch nose press down to the park and I hit a little patch of un-groomed snow and it bucked me enough the fall forwards and slide for about 50ft on my stomach and everyone stopped and was staring at me, I felt awsome!

probably not the most embarrassing but, this kid I somtimes ski with who is a good deal younger than me but better than me, he boots up loons wallride about halfway up.  I say, I cant let him beat me! so I go up about 3/4 of it (about 15 feet of the 20 foot wallride) I stick to the wall and fall 15 feet into slush, could have hurt more in harder snow but it still hurt

There's a triple line of smallish jumps right after one another at my mountain and they're all really close together and they all have really flat landings. I don't like to hit them because the pain of landing flat is greater than the amount of fun. So my first run through the park I do a 180 off of the knoll of the first one and I'm coming in switch to the knoll of the next one, except I notice there's a M sign right in the middle of where I usually go. I tried to carve around it on the right side while I'm riding switch looking over my left shoulder. I don't notice that the landing pad sharply drops away on my right side and I fly off the edge, do a switch backflip roll and fly into the ditch on the side of the park. I felt really cool.

there was this jump at my hill with a gnarly knuckle, and i was dropping in in front of a semi-big crowd, some really hot boarder girls off to one side. anyways, some kids dad went right in front of me, so i slowed down to avoid hitting him. at this point i thought i didnt have enough speed but had to hit it cuz i didnt wanna look like a pussy. i didnt wanna spin it cuz i knew i was gonna case, but straight airing a case is hella gay. so i spun a 1 , cased switch, bounced off the knuckle and yeah. it sucked.

Well theres a 9-11 foot long 5 feet high rainbow at killington.  Ive hit it alot of times before, but i was the first to hit it on the powder day.  Im sure many of you have nutted yourself, but the tranny was all messed up and i didnt get enough pop, and i nutted myself.. doing a superman on the rainbow rail.   It was a kodak moment

When I say to my girlfriend. "The lip on this jump sucks, so you have to really bomb if you want to clear it". Little do I know, the park crew fixed the lip while I was on spring break in Colorado. I proceed to ass tuck all the way down the hill and hit the 20 footer going about mach 10. I go for the truck driver grab, but bail when I realize that I'm way higher in the air than I need to be. I started windmilling, and fly past the flat part of the jump, past the good part of the landing, and proceed to loose my skis on the shallow part/almost flat end of the landing. I lost the left ski, boot skied, ran for a bit, lost the other ski... and I'm just standing there.. With really sore shins and no skis... My friends ski up, and by girlfriend boards down.... and I'm like... how high did I go, and they all just laugh their asses off for like 5 minutes.

The only time I busted my bindings this whole season was a 180 off a tiny fucking jump, which I landed fine, but my brake just decided to say "oh no buddy, fuck you", with the chick I was there with watching, and it was first run/first jump of the day, and I couldn't get a new brake up there, so I didn't get a chance to redeem myself.

Ended up renting a snowboard for the day.  I did some little 180's and tree jibs on it though so at least I still seemed a little impressive.

hahahaha awesome.

first thing in recent memory would be early season keystone. two park crew members had just finished grooming the lip of a box and i plus 7 other people were waiting to hit it. so i go first, and somehow catch my skis, double eject and faceplant/scorpion off the box. the park crew guys picked my stuff up for me and asked if i was ok...it was awesome.

my skis felt really weird but i continued to go up to a rail. i go up to the rail, jump on, come off switch and land. i go for 5 feet then my feet just go out from under me and i do a backwards somersault. i look at my skis and both my brakes are bent 90 degrees. i was surprised that i had made it that far without noticing.

Sooo

I was riding at Bear mountain, just messing around, and am standing at the top of some kicker line. I hit a ... around 35-40 footer and throw a 3 no problem... as i'm riding away i see a bunch of Bear mountain spancercized boarders, and just start fucking around reverting. Somehow I cross my back tips of my skis and completely double eject and smash whiplash style into the ground RIGHT in front of them.

As I'm getting up feeling like a dumbass, my twin brother rides past me, ices me, and screams "your fucking bad" and rides away laughing.

shitty...

One time I was getting off the lift and when I was skiing up to my friends I decided to try a nollie.  So when I tried to pop off my tips I slowly realized they had just dug into the ground.  Bam! Face plant in front of everybody.

HAHA classic.

My worst was at Okemo.  I went to slide the long red flat rail, jumped over the gap (between lip and rail), overshot the beginning of the rail pretty far, halfway down the rail i slip out and fall like 6 feet to flat ice. All the while my brothers and a pair of ski patrol were standing to the side of the rail (one brother was filming)
