Unreal. Everything about that sport terrifies me, including watching it.

Here is an amazing skiing related clip from earlier in the year... anyone that does this stuff is pretty nuts, but more power to 'em for doing what they love.

My weird admission for the day: From the title of this thread, I thought it might have something to do with Kate Upton.

What goes up, must come down.

I get a weird, uneasy feeling watching that. Because, if for some reason they don't stick the landing, bad things are going to happen. I hope his bones are a lot stronger than mine.

They're usually ok if they crash. The angle is so shallow it's not a hard hit at all.

What looks scary to me is that they're nearly into the uphill bit right after the landing area. That would hurt for sure. it looks like he's ending the jump before he gets past the slope. The guy the day after went a meter + farther and had a much harder landing.

Yeah, that's pretty impressive, but can he hit a curve?


We could all do that - it's the landing we can't do.
