Thanks for voting, if you do:)
Most riders have some tricks that scare them either because they think they will have some bad crashes or they have already had some bad crashes trying them. The KGB is a trick that I had been doing for years, and honestly not that hard to do, but it sent me to the hospital not just once but twice. Both at contests. The first time knocked me out so hard that I stopped breathing and was face down in the water until the tow boat got back to me. The second smashed my ribs so hard that I couldn't breathe for a really long time, all the way until I got back to the starting dock and my breathing became less and less to the point I thought I was going to lose consciousness. It was one of the most scary moments of my life but the ambulance arrived and quickly got me to the ER. Needless to say, it's hard to get that experience out of my head and haven't done too many, if any since then. So, when Tony brought it up after his set, I was more than a little nervous about going for the KGB again.
