Julian Carr 210 ft cliff

people also gotta understand that pierre just dropped a 245 footer, a great accomplishemnt in its self. BUt pierre Front Flipped a 210. Holy shit, this guy is either crazy, or jsut really good
 
i meant to say carr...O wait i didnt read the first post.....too bad i made it u fuckin idiot..i made a mistake...how about u read hte first post...cuz i fuckin wrote it
 
I have footage of the 140ft cliff. go to www.skivids.com and click on Biglines.com, comp, footage, snowbird ut. it is a fucking crazzy cliff. you can not really see that he is doing a lawn dart though
 
that is some rediculous skiing. That one guy near the end almost destroyed himself into those trees.. i dont know how he avoided them. jesus.
 
New rule: if you don't ride away clean, or with some backslapping at the very most, it doesn't count.

Landings matter.
 
You missed the point. But that was expected.

Balls matter? Sure, but landings matter a lot more. It's one thing to be stupid enough to throw yourself off a cliff, but it's a whole other thing to be able to LAND IT.

Go watch Seth drop a 60 footer. Or, go watch Hugo Harrison drop shit while skiing at mach 10. Then tell me landings don't matter and that it's all about balls and how high you huck yourself from. Guys like Hugo and Seth keep it fucking legit, and if they don't stick their landings, they don't count it.

I hate to say it, but landings matter. Landing is, in fact, an important part of every trick, jump, or cliff huck.
 
^ yeah thats the thing. When you are jumping off stuff that big, its next to impossible to ride away. If you are under a 10 foot bombhole, its gona be kind of tough to ski out of that.

Its not that they dont have the skill to ride away, its gravity and physics.
 
the lawn dart is prolly the sickest trick in the books lol its like a swan dive with a late rotation to land on your feet shit is so intense!
 
What I meant to say is that some drops are just impossible to ski away from. Ones that are possible to ski away from, by all means do it, its much better to watch. But its a bit hard to ski away from a 10 ft bombhole or flat landing.
 
whoah

there buddy no need to get so angry

im sorry if the word dingus hurt your feelings but there's no need to get all defensive
 
I think what some poeple are trying to say here is that it doesn't take any skill to jump a cliff and not ski away from it.

It only takes balls.

Now, hucking off smaller cliffs that it's POSSIBLE to ski away from, is a different story, you have to have skills to keep your feet under you and take the impact without losing skis.

But when it gets down to it, Hucking a 300 ft cliff is just as impressive as a 200ft cliff. It will be the exact same thing, just a slightly longer fall.

And if you think about it.. Yeah Carr did a front flip.. but didn't Pierre also go inverted (on accident)? In fact, Pierre landed on HIS HEAD! So flipping and "tricking" isn't as crazy as it sounds.. It's like doing a flip when you're skydiving. It's adds flare, but you're still gonna land the same.
 
They are obviously different in size, but there isn't much skill invovled will falling (in any height).

As Pierre proved it, you can land on your head and it will still count as dropping the cliff.
 
yeah, Im not physicist (in fact, I cant even spell it!) but its not the same thing until they reach terminal velocity...which they haven't
 
So that still has nothing do do with skill.

Logic: you can't land a 200fter, then you can't land a 300fter. It takes NO SKILL to jump off a ledge and sit in the air fora few seconds while you wait to hit the snow.

Sometimes you may hit harder than others, but the real skill is landing.
 
I do not doubt this...befor that 140 footer at snowbird, he did a 150-160 footer at alta a few times...julian is the man and has caused a lotta buzz this season
 
haha not quite.. but that would be freking hillarious. those kids wouldnt ever be found they would get so buried upon landing.
 
Yeah, that was so fucking nuts. Even if its not as big as Jamie's, it beats the shit out of it cause he skied into it, had a big slough spill off of it, and friggin flipped it. So sick.
 
yea julians the fucking man but ive also seen him backslap of smaller cliffs around Alta that i have landed.
 
THat guy is insane. I would rather see a 200 ft with a front than a 240ft. Either would require balls much bigger than mine though.
 
how does this make it lame? i think its cool to a certain point. obviously they'll take it down when people start dying just for the record.
 
damit, i belive you and just got so exited that i peed my pants, and then it wasn't even real, and now i should go change my briefs....
