New cliffjump record

i dont believe it.. they say it was accidentl so then no one knew he was going to do it so they couldnt get it on tape.. its a trick.. its obviously not true if they say it was accidental...
 
There must be some vid if this happened. When filming a skier you don't quit filming because he is off the planned line. If it was a warm up run the crew would also be warming up and shooting to get ready. On the other hand, that is a pretty big claim, and if it is not true the whole bunch of them are pretty douchy.
 
i had a dream last night that i saw footage of the cliff. apparently its not going to look as huge as jamie's cliff... but still going to be damned impressive.
 
that sounds like the craziest event in the history of skiing. imagine dropping into a gnarly line that you don't know hardly at all and you end up catching an edge and flying down a steep face toward a gigantic cliff and then having all that time in the air to think and not know if you'll survive...
 
this makes sense to me, but maybe the cliff was smaller than 320 and going 80km/h is what made him drop 320.
 
Yes. Fart is Swedish for "to defecate in one's undergarments". That is rough translation, but similar to what you Americans might call "to shit one's pants"?

Some facts for u guys

Hehe,

Somebody told me about this discussion (could'nt read it trough, too

much), and I like to add a few facts, the rest I will leave for the

film and the pics. I can’t give you any proof, that’s not for me to

decide.

My ski philosophy is that you should always stick your landings, that’s

gonna progress our sport! Going this BIG we’ll leave to the BASE

jumpers.

This was the warm up run at the beginning of the day during heli

filming, and it turned out that I missed the end of my line with not to

many meters (difficult routefinding cause of similar terrain features

). I let my skis go pretty much into the falline and picks up speed

instantly, and just thereafter realises my fault and that I will go out

something, probably huge.

The mind works amangsingly fast under stressed situations; breaking or

trying to stop was no longer an option, it simply went to fast. If I

had tried that I would’nt write this. So that left one choice; go for

it, and do it right!

For a fraction of a second I thought this is it, but manages to get in

a slight right turn to avoid the cliffs on my skiers left in the

landing area. Then comes the take off at an amazing speed ( it felt

like that ), I see snow underneath, and I decied that it’s not over yet.

In flight I tried to keep a position as long as I could, but

airpressure finally pushes the skitips up and you end up in the

backseat. That’s what I wanted as well, because landing it anything

else than horisontally was out of the question!

I had an ABS avalanche back pack, and for those who know, it has a

little metal/alumunium bottle ? near the lower back, not good if you

land on your back. So I tilted my body slightly to the left before

impact and that probably saved my spine.

I did’nt want this to come out, but with mobile pones around……

Looks like the cliffs get quite a bit smaller if he'd followed the cliff band for a while to skier's left.
 
Are you trying to be funny, or have you just not read the last page of this thread? Scroll up a bit, and you'll notice some pictures, and a link where mroe pictures can be found, that ought to be enough proof.

For video, I guess we'll have to wait for the Free Radicals and Perfect Moment films.
 
If this is true, I can't imagine the feeling he had when he realized he made a wrong turn. He would have at least 6 or 7 seconds to think about this as he fell.

Whoever filmed this could probably bank if it's a good shot.
 
Just a question, what is the record for a cliff jump to ride away clean, like no backslap. I know that they do that for safety, but i just wanna know who has fucked up there knees the most and stuck the biggest cliff?
 
you can't define riding away clean as "not backslapping" once the cliff is over about 100 feet really. then you have to backslap- i'd define landing (a huge cliff) as skiing away from your bombhole without having to be helped out and without losing a ski.

therefore: in answer to your question, Julian Carr 210 feet frontflip

well if you read what i posted a little while ago, he picked up a shitload of speed and THEN realized he was fucked, and he made the split second decision that he couldn't stop in time (stopping=ragdolling down that 200ft cliff)....so he gave himself the best chance at surviving and tried to avoid the cliffs in the landing, and sent it...

word on the street is that it looks REALLY good on film, since he meant to huck it. like WAY better than pierre's fiaso, he's tucked up the majority of the time, and near the end the wind resistance pushes him onto his back (where he wanted to land because he would nto have survived otherwise maybe)
 
I don't think pierres record should count anyways , the asshole landed on his head and looked like a joke the whole time. yeah he has balls but that means he should at least go do it again and not use his head ( no HELMET) as landing gear.
