Best idea I've ever had?

[THEE_wizard]

Find a lodgepole pine about 40 ft. high next to a creek. Clear the branches and bark from bottom up to about 25 feet. Climb to top of the tree and tie a rope about 100 feet long. Then, build a jump next to the base of the tree. Fell the tree with a skier holding the rope tied to the top pulling the skier toward the tree. The tree will hit the ground and the skier will lip on blind 2 the tree across the river. How sick would this be?

Seems cool until you get stuck under a 40-foot lodgepole pine.

I don't think I am high enough to understand this thread.

yea fuck trees

 

[Shredsterr]

That seems wasteful and detrimental to the ecosystem that exists in the area surrounding said tree. I will be reporting you to the Forest Police immediately.

Not that this wouldn't be cool to watch but wouldn't it take forever to cut every single branch so that it is flush with the rest of the tree?

OP draw it out I am confused

OP i feel like this is the exact reason that winches were invented

I do realize this would be next to impossible to execute correctly and extremely time consuming, therefore I never plan on actually doing it, but I came up with the idea just thinking it would be sick in an edit.

and for those with no imagination... I present my paint skillz

I can't decide if I love this thread, or despise it.

Only cool if you do it as the tree is falling

Well, as the tree falls, the rope tied to the top will be the tow in, pulling the skier with the momentum of the moving tree. That's the main reason this is so sick!

The best idea you ever had was making this thread OP

 

[Mrworm10]

lip on blind 2

 

[roach1324]

the tree wouldn't pull you you'd just pull the tree on top of yourself

 

[-WZ-]

go and try it op

 

[Skibumsmith]

Winches were invented to stop deforestation.

this would probably be the most manly thing you can do on skis

Wat

 

[Analdestroyer]

That is such a sick idea! I might try it myself

 

[steeze_louise]

if anybody wasted the time to do this when they hit it they would freak out and mess up because a 40 lodgepole pine that probably ways 1000 or more pounds is coming down right behind them so they wouldn't even try to slide it and then realize that they just wasted probably more then a day stripping all the branches and bark off a tree just to watch it fall over. but I agree if it worked it would be sick.
