[QUOTE=Larry_G;46956235]I'm not a horrible skier myself but watching him go straight down a bumpy and icy slope without taking any turns just straight up scares me. This dude has got some serious balls.[/QUOTE]
I wonder just how fast he's going when he does that, hard to tell from the video. I get really nervous when I go straight without turning even for only a few seconds.
Some of those jumps are massive, he must have some damn strong legs
i used to ski, but skiing scares the shit out of me now
i cant do the things i did as a kid anymore, my weight to strength ratio is all fucked up
[QUOTE=endorphinsam;46964075]You do know he's talking about all of the terribly obvious CGI in the video to make it more "extreme" than it really is, right?[/QUOTE]
The fuck are you talking about?
I haven't gone to the mountains in a very long time.
Though I remember when I first started snow boarding. I went straight down the hill, me being the dare devil little kid I was enjoyed every second of it, probably got up to around 50 mph, atleast it felt super fast.
Near the end slammed right into one of my friends and I slid on my back down the rest of the mountain, had to go back up because my hat fell off.
All in all, a fun day. lol

[QUOTE=zyke34;46956962]its not fake skiing, its fake as in it was planned out. It still takes a shit load of skill to do all this fukin dingus[/QUOTE]
I was talking about most of the people being green-screen overlays. Calm down.

Yeah I used to ski easily and probably went up to 30 mph on occassion, but I went out for a day last year and fell more times than I had in my entire life combined. I haven't gone out this winter yet but I'd imagine it'd be very similar. I just can't do it anymore for some reason.

Are you twelve? Calm down.

Lol but wheres the CGI?
Man half the shit he does would make my legs feel like pudding for days.
I wonder how he went over the grassy parts, usually friction there is enough to stop your skies within several meters.

I've done it before early or late season, you have to go fast and lean back a lot.
Also here is Candide and the rest of the faction team skiing a lot of the same terrain in the video in the op. Nice to see it in 3rd person to really grasp the size of some of these spots.

Holy shit.
I've been skiing for like 13 years now and I've been instructing for nearly 5 years, and I don't even have the balls to do that. Wow, he's awesome.
I guess it doesn't help that the venues around me aren't remotely close to something like that :v:
