Alex hits 69

[Gknow]

Don't try this at home. Alex Sunny used to train with the US Ski team but left cause he figured it was more fun to ski park with Red Bull. Anyways, he wanted to hit 70, came pretty close but there was some fresh snow. Heres what we did this sunday morning:

[Blurst]

I dont get it at all.

 

[DIX~]

 

[DIX~]

He goes real fast (69mph)

cool thread right?

 

[tbayskier]

that was a waste of my time. watch downhill racing, then you will understand what fast is. oh and those phone speedometers are not accurate

 

[Blurst]

Not even that fast.

 

[BITS]

I guess Alex forgot to ski switch and 10 mp/h faster ...

[steezywannabeezy]

haha. that didn't take long

 

[blindside]

....Is this for serious?

 

[DIX~]

 

[kaassouffle]

look out ski patrol!!! THIS GUY IS FAST!

 

[Mr_pretzel]

that was.

thug.

 

[kvan]

Why the fuck would you do that when theres fresh pow?

 

[SpookyCat]

ehh

 

[j.bird]

Ha, we probably go that fast to get to the top of the park every run... Tell me when you are approaching 100.

 

[DBL]

Could have used a song that hasnt already been used....

 

[JustinCox]

I was expecting a lot more when I click on this thread...

 

[hot.pocket]

Used the same app before and hit 60 pretty damn easily...its not that hard to go really fast

Somebody should clock themselves riding into the inferno jumps, holydistancejump.jpeg

 

[BenWhit]

he looks really cold.

 

[SkiThe603]

that was what i thought

 

[I_Am_Mod]

i was expecting a kid to crash and burn on an undershoot of a 70 footer....

 

[rareison]

disappointing thread is disappointing

 

[Heart]

he looks like the dudemont

 

[Njens.]

haha this kid is the biggest douche.

 

[Amadeus.]

Park skiing... your doing it wrong.

 

[Vino]

I thought he was 69. He had style for his age. but then...

 

[DERS.]

i hit 83 with ski trax on my iphone (i have doubts about its accuracy). this is some weak shit.

get on my level

 

[.frenchy]

hahahaha that's from the frenchy 6969 thread

 

[first_rodeo]

fuck the haters. shit was like a 5/10 cool but whatever

i was expecting a 69 foot step down, but i was wrong

 

[Chubz.]

he looks like simon dumont..lol

 

[TACO-DOG.exe]

blob fish does not approve.

 

[-Dan]

if his clothes tight he'd prolly get 100

 

[harveydowns]

i just watched a video of a guy skiing in a straight line. awesome.

 

[garrets]

I was expecting someting related to this

 

[Balto]

69 isnt that fast, and using the gps on your phone is bullshit

 

[DaveM]

Ski naked next time, maybe you'll hit 70.

 

[Bill.Nye]

69? That's pizza speed man

[TheDude]

same for me, everyone thats good staright lines this helluh steep shoots and usually gaps over the pl,aces where snowboarders have cut out traverses, gnar as fuck haha

 

[jca]

hahah kid looks like a fuckin gorb. learn how to tuck ya rookie.

 

[fucking]

he prayed before he went down... what a fucking tool. people go that fast into jumps every year. you kids are fucking pussies oh and way to do it on a trail where there were multiple people. i highly doubt you had the ability to avoid someone if they made an unexpected turn in front of you. people die in collisions at lower speeds than that. i hate kids like you.

 

[Benseleit]

i'm fairly positive that is simon dumont

 

[skithesprings]

not even a little bit impressed.

I hit 69.9 on the little mole hill that is tussy mountain. yeah, it's fast, but I could have gone way faster and not felt out of control.

 

[midnightmaurader]

turning is fun

 

[CheddarJack]

You can't try to go for speed records while dressed like that, going down old tracks, and trying to look steezy...

This thread is pointless.

 

[KillaSeason]

???

 

[midwestpowhunter]

those conditions seem pretty gnarly to be pullin those speeds...maybe 69 isnt that fast but on park skis in pow on an open trail with other people.......sketch!

 

[Billek]

I'm sure he used every last bit of US Ski team experience to put on such a fantastic display of skill...

 

[jamers]

oh hey there nick cage
