You guys must not be familiar with parks in the east. If you stop, you'll never clear anything and there's a constant train of gapers or snowboarders going no matter what. If you wait your turn you'll never get a turn because 99% of people don't wait their turn.
SMH at some of these comments. The backflip dude is at fault. I don't care how hard it is to get speed, the gaper was clearly in the way and since he is the downhill skier he has the right away.
People get snaked all the time, that doesn't mean you just send a jump knowing you are going to land on someone.
