Was having a great weekend with one good run after another. Sunday morning
went to pop an off-side wake roll, brain-farted mid air and looked the wrong
way, resulting in a boring, run-of-the-mill crash.

Or so I thought... When my wife brought the boat around she hollered, "Do
you have the rope"? Turns out I'd somehow managed wrap it around the t-bar
on take-off (or maybe when I let go mid-spin when it became dreadfully
obvious it was time to 'eject'?). The CINCH RELEASE was set for maximimum
(full velcro connection) and I never felt a thing...which I'm happy to
report, cuz the alternative would have been fugly. THANKS LONNIE!

My rope and Foil Tech T-bar (which I LOVE) didn't fare as well. About 6
inches of the leading edge of the T-bar was folded over on itself about 1/16
inch (right in the middle) and it had sliced clean through one of the thick
handle-triangle ropes (and the plastic sleave it was encased in!)

Summary: you don't need to be doing BNCs to benefit from a trick
release...once in a while even the most basic mundane trick can misfire.
