this is a video of me about to wakeboard for the first time.
i don't know if i can properly describe my terror, so i'm showing you. i was mainly afraid of getting run over by a boat after falling.
watch for my mouth to do really weird quivery things and for my lamaze breathing. listen for my mom laughing at me almost the entire time.
(there's a transcription under the video in case you can't understand what i'm saying.)
transcription:
jasmine riiiight before video starts: it's freezing
zachary: you'll get warm
chris: you'll get warm in just a second
chrystal: stay in the ball
chris: that is perfect
mom: laughing at jasmine
jasmine: okay. is this a shorter rope or are we still doing the long rope? (i wanted a shorter rope because it wouldn't be so far away from the boat)
chris: that's the long rope
everyone: laughing at jasmine
chris: i could give you the shorter rope, but it's lost some padding on the handle, and it may hurt your hands
jasmine: okay, forget it
chris: that's good
jasmine: the board's under the water!! that's not good!!
everyone: laughing at jasmine
chris: explaining something
jasmine: there's....like a....mark twain boat coming
mom: laughing at jasmine
the end.
p.s. i totally almost started sobbing after i got farther away from the boat.
p.p.s. i totally stood up the very first time and ended up being pretty decent. i kept wanting to take another turn. i will definitely go wakeboarding again.
ahhh ♥ bless
ReplyDeletethat was wonderful!! haha you poor thing! But I am glad you stood up and did pretty well! Love wake boarding and water sports to much!!
heheheh....my kids were watching your video with me....they were like wha? I wanted to see her standing up and how she did....heheh.
ReplyDeleteI think you are totally hillarious. I did the same thing only it was more funny because when my dad finally sped the boat up, the power of the water pulled down my bikini....tres embarrassing. I let go super quickly and went back under the water to pull everything back where it should go. I think a one piece would have worked better for me....aaaaaaack. xo
Soooooooo cute!
ReplyDeleteHahahaha Thank you for making my day! Hahahahaha I am totally laughing with you, not at you, because I've been there and was the exact same way... except I didn't stand up and was a complete ungraceful, embarrassing mess. Way to conquering your fears AND standing up your first time!
