The front page pic. WTF? I would just collapse on impact and have to go on morphine from shin bang. And maybe a couple knee surgeries.
 
12 ft to flat isn't that bad. My dad jumped out of a a 3 story building once and broke his ankle.
 
12ft isn't that high, i mena haven't you ever done cliffs onto roads? that fucking sucks cuz liek 50% of the time you do 12 feet into a ditch which is pretty much liek casing a step up, that sucks an ass load. 
 
well, 12 feet is nothing, look at free-running and what not. casing or overshooting is soooo much worse. I cased a 70 footer ad broke both my heels, so 12 is pussy.
 
We had a 15 foot high spine, and we were all havign a blast on it. Like 180 nose taps, all that. I get the bright idea to switch 180 over it. I do it once, and it felt good. I went in the next time with more speed, boosted like 5 feet straight up, cleared the tranny, and fell feet first, immediately my whole body slammed stomach first on the flat. I just broke my binding. Lucky.

Moral of the story is that 12 feet isnt all that high, especially when landing switch, and in softer snow.
 
i was thinking the same thing but yea, this isn't ice coast.

but still just landing that is impressive. props cosco, you darn superunknown you
 
i hit a kicker too fast and landed forward from 15'. i double relesed and collapsed and skidded on the ground for like 20'. i just laughed.
 
soft summer snow plus landing switch is alot easier on the body. everyones gonna hate the reference but rollerbladers do 20ft drops to concrete and are fine cause they land switch
 
When I was 12 I hit a snow pile from a snowgun which was about 15ft tall. I overshot the other side and went straight down to flat. It hurt like a bitch and I had shin splints for 3 years from it.
 
hahaha i broke my nose last night when i was smashed and i was like laughing and bleeding everywhere and everyone was like uhh what the fuck is wrong with him, but it didnt hurt at all.
 
ive done like 25 feet to flat but with forward mommentum its a little dif than landing straight down. I've also done 15 feet to conc. and it just stings a little bit if you land wrong.
 
first of all, 12ft to flat isnt that bad, second - due to his trajectory(?)or the fact he had forward moving energy, the impact was less than if he had say jumped off a ledge, straight down 12ft, third - the snow is not solid or hard, alowing give in the landing and a relatively slow, instead of abrupt change in speed, lessening the impact of the landing.
 
didn't quite look like 12 feet. it isn't perfectly flat. the snow is soft. forward momentum. landing switch. he said it didn't hurt.

more importantly, what about his outerwear choice? i like those colors together. fabulous front page.
 
no joke, but the jumps at my home mountain are like that.. seriously flat landing its a joke... and theres a hgh knuckle
