Chads gap(not a how to get there thread)

[Celone]

does anybody know who the first person to ever land it was, because i just cant think of being like: "oh that 145 ft gap looks like fun, im gonna hit it!!"

and yes i know about chad zurinkskas or whatever his last name is, but who was the first one to actually land it

 

[Meh42]

Candide I think.

 

[Celone]

alright thanks, and sorry i forgot to searchbar!! oh well too late now

 

[3ski6guy0]

so uhh...you guys know how to get there?

 

[TheButterHashira]

Yeah candide was the first guy to clear the whole thing. I think he was only like 16 at the time also.

 

[joly.sp]

this is honestly the best thread title EVER.

Candide cleared it first. It was like a 6 ft kicker

 

[Silence]

How do you get there from the bottom of Alta?

 

[R.Fahey]

Yeah. I think Chad hit it first, didn't land it, then Candide hit it and stomped. And its like 120 max.... it doesn't seem too huge in person, but I bet it changes when you're at the top. and it's a major sketch factor as far as the inrun and outrun go.

 

[MikeNess]

yea except its not called candides gap, first guy was Chad Zurinskas or something crazy like that

what?!?! i thought it had been deleted? rejoice!!!!

 

[drewishish]

i thought candide was just the first to spin on it, i thought chad landed it? i could be wrong.

 

[zesty_buddy]

i think chad was just the first to hit it and candide was the first to clear it

 

[vosgcone]

candide somped taht shit

 

[dave44]

Candide, after Chad couldn't clear it

 

[Inbred_Redneck]

It was in freeskiers 10 Years issue.

 

[Inbred_Redneck]

Chad tried it a few times and kept undershooting, so Candide gave it a shot and straight aired it his first run and stomped it.

bingo

 

[zackblain]

So, who has actually gotten there from the bottom of alta?

 

[youknomysteeze]

does tanner hall have the worst injury off of it? or was that a remake

 

[kolekaine]

some snowboarder was the first hit it.

 

[ride-rider]

 

[AMG.]

i told my snowboarder friend that candide hit/landed it first, and he's pretty sure that travis rice did it before him. i dont really know enough about it to be certain on either one. anyone actually know?

 

[bobs]

but he didn't land...................
