Nice, pumping a half pipe is lots of fun. Looks like you just lost your balance a bit and tried to save it. Found this video [VIDEO] that talks about bailing on vert, but you gotta have knee pads. I hurt myself yesterday trying to ride higher on a wall and bailed, tried to catch myself with my foot and almost busted my leg.

You got it dude! Just a little higher every time and a little faster. Also Big knee pads like 187 Fly pads help especially once you learn how to slide [VIDEO] on them.
