I've always heard 15-20 feet is when the ouch factor starts to become the injury factor, so maybe 25 mph?


I used to do platform diving, and at 7.5m / 24f you're hitting hard, but you can still do a lot of things. At 10m you gotta be right.

Yeah I’d hate to fall off. Average seems to range 55 to like 65 but I know the 300 models are modded to hit 80+ and that speeds way beyond what it takes to hurt you.

Edit the talk about speeds and water reminds me of the fake tiktok trend they claimed to kill several people

A one-year contract wasn’t what he was looking for but probably what he needed.

“I’m thinking like this is my last year,” Beckham says. “I’m going to give it my all this year. And then if something happens after that, we can go from there.

He's on a one year contract so he's going to play as hard as he can like it were his last year in the league. Boilerplate old guy stuff.

The performance over skill factor was bad enough with OG Jet Skis. That was in the Wild West days when no state had even considered licensing requirements for them.

Mission Bay in San Diego was pretty much a warzone. Wake jumping assholes following fishing boats headed out to sea all day long.

Finally, some 10 year old got partially decapitated by a ski rope he didn't see, and blammo 5 mph no wake buoys all the way from the launch to the Pacific. A 5 minute trip to open water became a 30 minute one.

I know there's probably been about 10 generations of PWC and the types of users since the 1980s but I can't get over my early dislike of them.

I know everyone says this but having a friend with a boat is the way to live life. Then when he/she inevitably complains that it's a huge money pit and BOAT stands for "bust out another thousand" you can just nod sagely as you sip your beer during a beautiful day on the water and chip in for gas.

either the RBs just got ratfucked, or there's some aspect beyond the additional $900k in this reported deal

i know it's rapoport but "gives himself a chance to beat the franchise tag" is a great bit

ah yeah, completely forgot about that aspect (though who knows if the CBA covers that for post-tag situations like that i guess)

He traded his ability to be franchised again next year without a 20% kicker, for $2m upfront and $1m in incentives based on thresholds he didn't reach last year.

Should have just signed his tender.

Yeah. Also pretty sure the tag contract is garunteed for injury. That's fire your agent immediately bad.

I think the deadline only applies to multi-year deals since there's really no point in re-working a fully guaranteed 1 year offer unless like Saquon you're broke and need $2m now?

Getting them on the WR tag won't do anything except get them released and have to accept lesser FA contracts
