If you could, would you hit Chads Gap?

Thread title.

I don't care if its a repost.

If the jump was perfect, the inrun clean, would you hit Chads Gap?

Me, no.
 
HHHEEELLLL NAAWWW that shit is crazy. id be going at the jump then flashback to tanner and just say fuck it
 
Yeah, but I would have to see the guinnea pig hit it first in order to judge where to start from.
 
i was thinking about this the other day.

I race skicroos, and the last jump on the x course guys were taking about 150', which is chads size.

I might hit the skicross one, chad's, FUCK NO
 
I was thinking the same thing. I probably wouldnt hit the skicross one and I definitely would not hit chads. There are way to many factors to take into consideration on a backcountry jump like that.
 
Idk i haven't really seen it in person. Not to mention i don't know how to get there.
How do you get to it from the bottom of alta?
 
i think id try to straight air it...but who knows probably would be way too scary in person....my heart would probably stop mid air
 
word if i did hit it i would fucking bomb in and then close my eyes go offf open them and them see the view then realize im fucked
 
as long as i knew, like down down, the speed, i dont see why not. from the looks of it there is a big compression about 20 yards before the cheese wedge, but the actual landing is SUPER SMOOTH.

as long as you know the speed, the worst case is you tomahawk in some pow? Ive never had a problem with hitting big stuff as long as i know the speed
 
your forgetting you still have to deal with mackdawg

these thugs kill anybody who steps in their territory

BE INTIMIDATED
 
yah no shit. i have tomahawked in pow doing 50+mph easy, and it sucks but i have had much worse crashes. All you have to do is get a good even pop and hold your shit together in the air. I prefer to urlacher big jumps, 65ft+, when hitting them for the first time, and i would do the same with chads.

Once you get over the mental part, i dont think it would be a rediculous feat.
 
I would do the same.

IF and only IF every person before me landed in a good spot and no one overshot or cased it.

But I cant really say for sure until I see it. It would one and a half the size anything ive ever hit before.
 
A good friend of mine who is basically at my skiing level maybe a little above looked at chads in person when he was filming pyramid gap and said absolutely no way in hell.
 
I would like to say yes, but it would be way gnarlier than i can imagine actually standing on top of the in run, so that could change to a no pretty quick.
 
if i knew id clear it. definitly. haha why not its a straight air? and then id attempt to 180 it and then possibly underflip. fuck it why not???
 
Impossible to tell unless you see the jump. Videos aren't that good of indication when it comes to things like this. I probably wouldn't but then again I would feel real shitty if I passed up an oppurtunity like that.
 
i probably wouldnt have the balls to ever hit it, but god damn i would love to get to straightline the entire run in and at least get to speed check Chad's Gap...
 
even if broke both my legs and ruined my season (and they get better that year) id do it fo sho thet would be the ultimate bragging right (on vid)
