Wakeboarding

Feel the waves
water skim below
everybodies cheering
as the wind starts to blow
I go for the jump
do a flip
rotate twice
and miss the clip
I fall down hard
on my head
then I awake
on a hospital bed
they give me anaesthetic
to get rid of the pain
but it didn't work
so they give it to me again.
