Direct quote:

"He also wants to hit Chad’s Gap this winter. “More than anything, I want to focus on building it as good as possible,” he tells me, expressing appreciation of the attention to detail shown in Spanish architecture, “even if it takes two weeks.”

“I want to see how far we can build the shelf out,” Karl explains, “so the gap’s a little shorter but the jump’s kickier and we have more hang time than in the past.” The ultimate goal is to hit the jump enough to get comfortable and, although he won’t tell me the specifics, put down new tricks. Intent on redefining one of the sport’s most iconic jumps, Karl has a bigger view of our sport."

The stoke is real
 
Thank fuck. We're going back to the good ol days were back country kickers weren't just these perfect kickers into pow.
 
The landing is a big long dirt patch right now, and there haven't been remains of a super massive jump there, sooo...

I haven't been paying attention over the years, has anyone hit it switch since tanner?

Durtschi, Wilson, and Dan Brisse hit in in 2010.

I saw what durtschi did(amazing) and wilsons crazy over shoot. But did any of them hit it SWITCH and get tricks? If so, what did they put down? what video was it in?
 
would be rad to see chads and all the legendary gaps in grizzly get rebuilt again, but there is just not enough snow for it ATM.
 
Maybe next year. No snow in Utah this year. Karl might be crazy, but not that crazy. Dude certainly has the skill and balls to throw down something sick on it though.
 
Karl's gonna dig out the front side of the landing, build a crazy poppy kicker, and reverse tranny Chad's Gap.

What..... what?!?
