at my skate park and there is a vert wall there. its roughly 5 or 6ft high. I had never been on it before and i decided to give it a shot. so i did it a couple of times and was getting half way up.Well then i got as much speed as i could and went up it. i was use to my six foot quarterpipe so wen i made it to the top of the vert wall i bunny hopped and 180. Well it turned out that i bunny hopped so hard that i flew away from the vert wall and since i was at the angle i coulded level out and so i face plantted at the very bottom (thank god that i was wearing my healmet). i landed on my scooter and now wen i move my arm or leg it hurts so bad :( .


Any one else almost or did do this?

I did something like that but not as bad. I was dropping in for my first time and I jumped REALLY high. What ended up happening was I landed on my front wheel, bent the forks, and did a superman over the handlebars only to land splat on my face.

a 5 or 6 foot vert wall is tiny, are you sure its not just a regular quarter? it would have to have like 3 feet of tranny...and well, that sucks..the only thing i do llike that is im used to quarters that dont quite go vert, so the first few minutes i ride one that is i usually land really low from pulling out
 
nope, such vert walls happen, theyre useless, I remember that there was one in TIC in the like 2 setup changes ago, haha. I have something like this at my park, its not really a vert wall but a weird elyptical transition quaterpipe, the tranny is like 3 ft long and more then 5 ft high, its one of the most pointless ramps ive ever seen, once i tryed dropping in and nearly killed myself.
