jai-alai haha wtf there is a new word for me

jai-alai (hì´ lì´), noun, Sports. Also called pelota, handball-like game of Spanish Basque origin. It is played as either singles or doubles on a three-walled court (fronton) with a hard rubber ball (pelota) that is hurled with a wicker basket (cesta) attached to the player's arm. The sport is popular in Latin America and is played in some states (e.g., Florida and Connecticut) where jai alai betting is legal.


This fast paced games stands alone on the merits of it's agile athletes who hurl a rock-hard ball, back and forth, at speeds up to 150 miles per hour!

some people don't kid around...

Yah I gotta get out on my board this year havnt used it in 2years... I like when the slopes get real crowded and people stop in the middle of the trail to adjust their skis ... its like bowling

The first time is just pain bro... my ass was blue from my lower back to my thighs... I rented a board my first time a trashed itI hit a tree at like 40 mph cleaned the metal edge right off had a huge gouge in it and broke the binding... you ever seen a 40 MPH cart wheel well my friend did that day... it was all a blur to me all I remeber is is coming down the trail and then I was looking at the sky...

for those first timers I sugest you learn how to stop before you learn how to go really fast...

Agreed. the best way is just to make a jump for your head. if you spear into the ground your more likely to stop

or just grab a tree as you go by
