That was staged. This is picking the wrong line and a Viking not quite making Valhalla
Anybody know why I can't see the video even when I quote it?You probably shouldn't be doing 50+ MPH.........especially when visibility is poor.......
That had to hurt.....
Wow, the pilot really blew the shot there.

I can see it in raisingarizona's post.

The first video is legendary video among CO kids.
I think the skier was 14 at the time. One of the top U19's at senior US Nationals, and on the NorAm circuit, this past year. Has obviously been just fearless all along. This was spring, May, free skiing at ABasin and he just thought he'd send it off that lip for kicks. Didn't realize how far he's go, carrying some heat. Told his coaches that he was going to pop off the lip and catch some air.
Friend of my son's shot that video, as I recall. He was the kid's coach. There's another view of it from the other side of his track on YouTube. Can't recall which one my son shot. He was coaching another group, and they were working together. Think it was the other one, which my son shot at the very last minute. I remember my son sending one of them to me, saying something along the lines that the kid was fearless, and they just had to keep him in one piece! as they saw him approaching, they thought that he was carrying an awful lot of speed, as I recall.
The comments on the video are the other kids. pretty humorous.
This has been used by Colton Hardy on Instagram's "Jerry of the Day" a few times, and it gets thousands of comments each time. One of his all time hits.
He "sent it" about 150 feet in terms of his flight. Nowhere near that big a drop. He approached it with a lot more heat than was "wise", to say the least. As I recall he was perfectly fine afterwards. Surprised that he flew so far more than anything. Think he may have been told to back in down a bit. HaHa. Coaches prefer to return the kids in one piece at the end of a day.
These kids did a lot of serious free skiing and cliff hucking, all season, at those ages. The kid was real comfortable in the air! Think this one was literally over the top. Legendary. Not recommended!
That was not close to 50 mph, and nowhere near "Jerry of the day".
Just didn't land it.
Now I see it's A-Basin. I think @dean_spirito can top it... Whaddya think?The first video is legendary video among CO kids.
