Hi Joel! I’m the “mature gentleman” in this video. My name is Jim Sawyer & that was 2 years ago at Ski Paradise in Acapulco, Mexico. I was 63 years old. For the record, I got up and finished the set! And I skied another set later that day. I’ve been skiing for 50 years and am kinda famous for my face plants. Fame that I am not proud of!! Thanks for the great video. My wife just surprised me with it as I am literally in a neck brace for the next 4 weeks, from a fall much worse that I took on Saturday. But I lived to ski another day so stay tuned for more exciting clips!!!! So...where’s my t-shirt!?🤪😁👍
OMG! what a story. The global manhunt is over. Hope you come good soon. Thanks for the story. I will update the waterski world in my next vid, haha. I have been talking to Dan LaFaver. If I send him 2 shirts maybe he can give one to you. Would that work? Do you ski at the same site?
Joel Howley Hello and thank you. Yes, Dan and I are lake mates so sending the shirts to him will be fine. I look forward to “the rest of the story” in your next video. I’ll let you know when the face plant king returns to the water! Those falls make for great video but not so much fun on the old body. Take care and be safe.
Hey Joel, I had the privilege of videoing Jim Sawyer's (the "mature gentleman") crash. He came up smiling and that footage has brought a lot of laughs to a lot of people. Thankfully he was okay and back on the water that day!
Hey Joel! Love your videos! I've actually learned quite a lot from your review and coaching videos. I want to preface this that I know I am not the best skier in the world but this year I have decided to try and overcome a fear of lakes and try to become better at skiing. My dad is a hero of mine with water skiing and he has also helped me quite a bit and between his advice and your videos I have progressed a lot since this crash. This was from my first ski of the year and I was a little rigid but I think it's really funny. www.dropbox.com/s/kvgwkapkyy1y51m/VID_214790116_053457_855.mp4?dl=0
