This dudes whole instagram is just like one ridiculous send a season and then he disappears

Yeah he probably gets too hurt and has to wait a whole year to try again.
 
Pushing the limits of skiing might be dangerous, but idk if I’d call the dude a moron for attempting something 99.99999% never would

I meant the no helmet usage but I absolutely agree on the send, pushing boundaries of what's possible is humanity's best attribute
 
Dude wha? It’s MUCH more than gnarly points. This Shit is everything to some people and they will stop at nothing to prove that they belong in this Shit. I respect the fuck out of that because as an athlete legacy>all imo

Dude honestly, why risk the whole rest of your life for some “gnarly points”

idek what a helmet would do at that point. I’m sure there’s actual reasons he should wear a helmet but I’d be more worried about whiplash on my neck and stuff

Not when you are eating out of a tube at 30.

For sure it’s a toss up. But, whiplash hurts, brain injuries are forever
 
I just cant believe someone would wanna huck that when the landing conditions look like garbage. I think I felt some of those landings.

that guy is fucking crazy
 
I would not have walked away from any of those falls. That under rotation one he landed on his neck. Dude’s built different.
 
Word around the block is that nasa is going to use this booter to send satellites into low earth orbit.

I think he sticks it with some full mechanical knee braces
 
1080's, long poles, no helmet, frosted tips, massive hucks. What year is this?

Also he 100% shook his brain on that last hit.
 
This guy found a copy of Jonny moseley mad trix in the sale bin and decided to emulate everything from the fit/skis to the tricks. Based

Just got off the time machine from 2005 and found out people do quads now.

As long as he is doing it for himself and not just for the social aspect I respect the absolute hell out of it.

I don't want to influence anybody to make iffy decisions but I don't want to make them hold back either

It’s a balance thing or they go even harder bc they’re wearing a helmet and get even more bashed

Hahahaha, wait kids still think helmets prevent concussions?

YOU ARE ALL FUCKING IDIOTS.

Skierman has brain damage confirmed.

Here are some studies that show helmets do reduce the risk of concussions and other head injuries in skiing:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2987604/
https://www.jstor.org/stable/20486536
https://www.bmj.com/content/330/7486/281.full.pdf+html
https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/44/11/781.abstract
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/202421

And even if they don't reduce the risk of concussion (which they do), they can still reduce the risk of your head being cracked open if you smash into a rock or tree.
