[RudyGarmisch]

Haha, I love the rolling down the windows there.

 

[Flarestrike]

Wow...skiing has come along way since back then.

Shame boarding hasn't (joke, it wasn't even invented then, was it?)

 

[rudeboy_87]

yeah i think burton was around... rofl

 

[ajax]

that' d be sketchy with no edges

 

[A2theWK]

yeah and the nice little leather strap binding that connects your leg to your ski permanently. Ohhh fun look my legs a merry go round

 

[FUUUCK]

pretty bad ass

 

[[tightpants]]

Steeze 

 

[ISkiSwitch]

I think they were flapping their arms trying to fly. Maybe that gave em an extra few feet in the air? lol. wow.

 

[Tasche]

I have some respect for those guys. If not for them then we would be on a figure skating forum or some shit.

 

[Mr.Bishop]

Hah thats so sick!

People used to land/takeoff switch in the '70s and shit too.

 

[GUZ]

I'd like to see a video of that

 

[eastAR5]

people were actually more baller than you would think back then. Hitting a like 60 ft "ramp" back then is pretty much equivelent to straight airing a 120ft table today

 

[anton...]

thats sick!!

i wish i was around then...

i could have skied in a black and yellowish world...

 

[Holte]

they were getting a LOT of air for heavy wooden skis strapped to leather boots.

 

[VTtreeskier]

Hah so graceful

 

[Wis_Skier_23]

really thats pretty sick

 

[Bepo]

yeah, jumping that with wooden skis straped to your feet is pretty sketch. And I find it funny that after it was done wallisch's superunknown vid was the only video shown for other videos.

 

[scientist]

holy fuck, with soft leather boots? that would be like crooscountry ski jumping. amazing.
