Well June closed but yesterday you could see the park crew building what appeared to be a 120+ foot hip for a world record air attempt. Tomorrow I've heard is the start of a photo shoot.
 
maybe this shit is top secret but I know its serious because I saw them building it. Its sponsored by redbull and the goal is to beat 39 feet of air off the hip.
 
fucking awesome.. bout time hips come back in. favorite features out there

are snowboarders, skiers or both trying to break the record? who set it up with redbull etc?
 
Bwahaha, I didn't get it until you said it. Hahahah!

I just meant that hip jumps are my thing :)
 
yea redbull set it up, Jacob Wester and dumont are up there. So far they've seshed it for two days. I think they may be dont but I dont know. I was at mammoth yesterday and they had quite a few park shoot features up on the backside which is no longer accessible to the public.
 
Was around on saturday last weekend. The pile of snow then was massive and was still being worked on. I'm sure it's just epic now (and if its been getting hit)
 
Throwback to this?

its like 30 minutes from Mammoth... the shoot should be sick. my roommate works up there and said travis rice, shaun white, pat moor and a few other snowboarders have been filming. they have one of those 3D cameras, two helis and it looks crazy. I guess they're trying to go 60 ft high.... can't wait to see art of flight
 
I have that movie sitting on my desk right now. God that hip was sick! Hopefully this one is equal or better. Sounds like its going to be better.
 
60 ft!?!?!?! Holy balls, thats massive

Can't wait for footage, hip jumps are awesome. I would jizz everywhere if someone busted a 50+ ft. flat 3 off a hip.
 
Both numbers were mentioned, but yeah I agree that 60 seems ridiculous. Current record is 39 or something so 40 ft. isn't much bigger, and I feel like the hip in war was no where near 120 ft. big. I wouldn't be surprised if they got closer to 50 than 40.
 
I thought I'd read in an interview that Jacob was easily getting in the mid 40 foot range at June in 2005.
 
I don't know, that weird drop/weightlessness throws me off if I spin left on a left-side hip etc. Hard to keep compact. Unnatty seems easier somehow.
 
Its the armada team, and jacob is the one whos going for the record. Although, could be anyone else. Just drove by the parking lot and it looks like they're taking a day off (probably because of wind.
