Alta Utah Rope Tow Wedgie

[@mojoe87]

props for being so polite and checking if the guy was ok ( before chuckling!!). This is the way to behave on a ski hill!!!!!

[@Pudubaby]

I have probably watched this video 30 times over the past few years and it never stops being funny! Best video ever.

[@Tizzlefive0]

I hope no one gets all that offended, if you cant laugh at yourself that's a shame. I think this is great!

[@SnoodyMcFlude]

Huge respect for not laughing until you got past him, I don't think I could have managed keeping a straight face!

[@ATLTraveler]

haha dude im not gonna lie this is one of the funniest videos ive seen in a while....this should be top on youtube

[@Sagina1999]

We all have to start somewhere. I'm glad you asked him if he was "alright". I'll give him credit for giving it a whirl! Looks like he was alone, and that's a hard way to learn! Keep asking people if they are OK, and your OK with me! :-) Really. Yes, it was funny, because he seemed to be "OK".

[@alysonell]

I respect you completely for keeping the laugh under control until after you were past him. And for asking if he was OK.

[@Fredrika25m]

That's my nephew! Anytime I've had a bad day at work I come home and watch this. I laugh so hard! Classic family humor. Bummer for the guy (pun intended)

[@Shamantiks]

This video has renewed my life to live. Everything's going to be ok...!!!

[@tuniebarnes]

Thanks Laura for posting this on Facebook. Good bye ski season, good bye tourists we will miss you, see you next year! PS- Alta got 14 inches of snow in the last 12 hours... way to end the season with a bang.

[@DolanDark]

fucking rekt

[@urbancerne01]

Holy shit

[@Max-ro7sz]

Holy shit

[@tucker.84]

Damn, definitely did not expect to see you here in this random corner of the internet

[@23soccerlife]

I would've been laughing so hard. I don't know how you kept that laugh under control :)

[@crumpetandmyrtle]

I can tell is not faked by the reaction and laughs, this is funny, I have tears in my eyes!

[@thaidozy]

That was great. I loved how you stopped laughing just enough to ask him if he's OK, funny funny stuff.

[@Schiavoni85]

He left😂..." Those ropes are a pain in the ass!!"

[@doutchyounow]

That was some big air. Not very high off the ground but the distance was outstanding. Maybe he was practicing ski flying. Take off was ok, I think his form in the air could use some more work. Landing was good until his legs gave out.

[@robertrluke]

“Sir, you are supposed to ride BESIDE the rope, and, I think your goggles may be on upside down.”

[@aejones99]

i've watched this video too many times and it still never gets old.........

[@Spazum888]

thank god you brought your camera with ya

[@Kstang09]

this is hilarious! there are about a billion of these tows back home, being from small-hill MN. haha. Ive seen some crazy stuff, but nothing quite like this! nice job keeping your cool 2, that was pretty considerate... i dont know if i coulda done it.

[@FilmMasterHiei]

That is hilarious,you need to send this to America's Funniest Home Videos you would Win

[@vampov]

hellibenalli, I'm sure there is some claus on youtube usage agreement that says any video upload becomes their property or something lame like that. But who knows. Wonderful video nonetheless.

[@cr0ttych0p]

btw.. how would u even get on like that?

[@esumsea]

That is the most hilarious thing I have seen in a while!

[@specialjack94]

hahahhahahahahaha oh my god i just laughed for 10 minutes straight, i showed my uncle and he goes "he held on nicely didnt he?"

[@snowflakejunky]

That was great!! Nice one! And, how do you get your leg over the rope as it's moving anyways?? LOL

[@M2brSaA]

What's funnier? Not knowing how to use the rope tow or filming and laughing? So funny!

[@westjalltheway]

Thank you for sharing that with us. What a blessing this has been to my life

[@jsantis91]

@hellibenalli you mispelled it wrong ? ...you just said you spelled it right...backwards..haha

[@bandit690]

You know, i thought there was another way to "Ride" those...and i just found it....XD

[@windmills1149]

tooo funny! thanks for posting this.

[@2003fxr]

i come back to this video at the beginning of snowboard season and in the summer just for a good laugh

[@two08]

I cant stop watching it and laughing my ass off!!!!

[@DanielDahlman]

This actually happens????

[@jordub]

I just showed my grandpa. We all had a laugh!

[@sjfina614]

hahahahahaha this made my day. i always wondered if someone accually did that.

[@troot62]

That's messed up!! That was my dad and you're exploiting him for the youtube world to see. You Alta skiiers think you're all high and mighty.........(kidding). This was so damn funny.

[@sniggity]

How DO you use it by the way?

[@Lankyman95]

Ha classic. I always wondered what went on at skiers only resorts. I always thought it involved things entering assholes. BWAH AHAHA AHA AHA HA A

[@Jaiv74]

In most European Ski resorts you sit on the rope tow, as it has a "seating device". So probably this guy thought here was the same and gave us one of most EPIC moments in Ski.

[@BombBug]

@hellibenalli Did you ask the guy you recorded if you could put this up on youtube?

[@mattferg84]

hahahaha I love how he slowly lifts off the ground

[@haroldmcboingboing888]

"Are you ok sir?" That had me chuckling, but unironically that's very scary for him he might have thought he would go up like 30 feet

[@skidv25]

I LOVE TRANSFER TOW! This is pretty funny!

[@lukewarm711]

I love how he tries to keep balanced for a wholesome wedgie.

[@skilife123]

haha thats the funniest thing ever, poor him, i wonder how the hell he got one foot over the rope

[@SimonSays123]

OMG, i laughed so hard at this video.

[@CPS123456]

this guy is flying. A true pro.

[@TheBCSledder]

thumbs up for not being an ass and asking if he was ok. Idk if I could muster up that much control over my laughing haha btw what is that lift? Never seen that before

[@pujols544]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. you can see him really hurting in the air.

[@burkejon]

THAT is the definition of 'PWNED'!!! LOL....

[@UrbanWhispers]

I love how I know the person filming this XP

[@ImMr1337]

How do you use one of these? Ive never been skiing/snowboarding

[@howarethingsindenver]

that laugh is just epic :)

[@Dstylus00]

My biggest fear is,.. he's a rouge east coast ninja .. hope he sees this someday .. lol

[@sustarhino6442]

Old but Gold - so very funny !! Susta#justforthecraic Rhino!

[@ahhdem]

@glendoi no, no lifts. not anywhere. resorts all suuuck too. and the snow is horrible. Either hike or deal with these rope tows. I'd stay in .. wherever you're at thats better, if i were you

[@Red1676]

now i want to snowboard even more at alta. lol

[@Travincalpriest]

You stand on the side and hold on with your hands to pull you to the other side of the ski resort. Kinda like bunny hills for kids to learn how to ski, it pulls you up the small hill.

[@BombBug]

@Quvoxe But what does that have to do with copyrights?

[@AdioAurel]

0:36 I'm hella impressed how he could get off the rope! Imagine all the things that could've gone wrong...

[@CrazyasacoolfoxBlogspot]

I've never seen a rope tow quite like that. I wonder how he got his ski over on the other side of the rope to begin with. lol That was painful just watching. ooooooo

[@Tertstyme2]

He wasn't going home, he was going to the Bird to ride his board!

[@f1shboT]

classic, thanks man. Soooo funny!

[@lupecarrillo6433]

Omg lmfao i cant stop laughing 😂 😂 😂 😂 wtf haha got to c it again

[@skimini]

I saw this video on CNN last night. Anderson Cooper got a kick out of it. The poor guy and his embarrassing moment has gone viral.

[@Quvoxe]

@BombBug yes it does what do people do when they don't get permission they cover their faces of the video or blur them out of pictures, so here this doesn't need to be done

[@ThomasEngler]

haha just amazing love to see people doing stupid things like these while snowboarding

[@cr0ttych0p]

hahhahahahahahaha........omgomg ireally laughed myass offfff

[@kvps27]

This is a huge story that folks here at Alta like to chat up about

[@superduploman]

How'd he get the rope down there in the first place?

[@bagelboi66]

First belly laugh of 2013!

[@RobMoWMEB]

Dude, this is epic. Who the hell messes up using a rope tow?

[@RenDeVerloren]

Psh. Dude. I love this. People fuck up. It IS funny when it happens. Nothing wrong with laughing if you still care and want to help.

[@chileamordida]

OH my gosh This killed me. He won't do that again.

[@uploadthisshit]

lol couldn't stop laughing when he was actually lifted into mid-air. some of you guys really need to relax, the guy who filmed this video asked to check if the man was okay, he wasn't dying or in serious pain, what more do you guys want? it's not like he will be humiliated for the rest of his life, you can't even see the man's face in this video, let alone recognise him on the street, why make such a big deal out of it? just have a laugh and move on.

[@hellibenalli]

it was too late to warn him. if he tried to get his leg over the rope and fall over he might have hooked his skis and bindings and might have been dragged. i stayed quiet so he could concentrate on balance and sorry if i offended anyone with my video.

[@hellibenalli]

ITS SERIUOSLY NOT FAKED! i had two friends behind me asking if he was ok and he sat there for five minutes while we walked in to get lunch and then we saw him walking away......110% real.....lol

[@dariusacevedo6369]

the disclaimer at the beginning of this clip is wrong, obviously the man knows exactly how to use it, its us ignoramus who got it all wrong from the very beginning, 🤣

[@jeenyus720]

what kind of goggles do you have, my crowbars are getting kind of warn out.

[@Xanderboof]

this isnt wrong its just doing it in a different way!

[@jdgator95]

My question is, how did he even get on the rope tow like that anyway!? lol

[@loopyu2y]

some people just need to stay home! crraazzzy

[@BombBug]

@wdp11683 I'm not trolling, just wondering if he asked the guy if he recorded him. Hes trying to make money off of it, which seems weird and generally unlikely. More like, the time and money he spends trying to sue them would be worthless, because theres nothing that really says it is his, as he uploaded it to youtube without copyrighting it or anything.

[@ObamaBobLaden]

I love the laught at 0:20 ....

[@atombarlow]

@BombBug He doesn't need it. The person was recorded in public with no reasonable expectation of privacy. No permission needed.

[@JJRocco]

I think the laugh is the best.

[@Quvoxe]

@BombBug i said he doesn't need permission of the guy now you start with copyright i responded to your note were you said he needed permission

[@jsantis91]

@hellibenalli dont hate me btw...im not a "grammar" ...just thought that was kinda funny...like this video..

[@micahgee]

HAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA awesome vid ;)

[@wordreet]

Ooooooh!! The rope burn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :¬O

[@Joselynsundae]

Hi...can you please check your Inbox? I'm working on a tv show and interested in featuring a clip you posted. Thanks!

[@Caypo_official]

😂😂😂

[@davetaflin]

OUCH!!! It surprised me he was still speaking baritone.

[@macewenwm]

i laughed so hard

[@litfromabove]

@wesside818 Yeah, living in the mountains of Utah sucks, wish I could be bangin' it in so cal. Wait, there's not 3 feet of powder there, darrnit! Keep on shuckin' it brotha...

[@stevebenally6663]

"Retreive" lol I left it in as soon as I made the mistake lol in human also.

[@muoncatcher]

its really funny, but that must have really hurt.

[@bdg909]

now that was some funny shit lol

[@thecosmos003]

FUnniest video i've seen in a long time!
