I don't think that was close to death, still harsh though.

 

[Ben.]

fucking morons. that course is so unsafe...

 

[Black-Bandanna]

HOLY CHANEL GAP.

That was freaking intense. At first it looks like he's gonna make it no prob and then BAM! The crazy thing is it looks like he popped back up onto his feet and rode away. Gnar.

 

[vzdz]

really really nuts

 

[emopoppins]

channel gaps are easily the gayest things out there.

 

[Enjoi.]

jahno that was ruff.

 

[PhilboydStudge]

thats nuts, nice 3 that he did after hitting the wall

 

[MatRich]

hope it dosnt happen to a skier. If that was a skier, his skis would have ejected and he would have landed on his feet and broken his ankles. As funny as it would be, I dont want to see anyone screeming my ankles are broken during the slopestyle

bum diggity.....why is xgames this year sort of a shit show??

 

[TheBeardedOne]

travis rice has got to be fucked up from that fall

 

[ShreddingthaGnar]

I hear even the slopestyle course beyond gnarly too

 

[jeremy.g]

that was unpleasant to watch

 

[SteevJee]

oh i know dude. A girl like caught her edge and she like fell n' shit.

 

[Ben.]

i think she broke her collarbone. its just that channel gap. and then instantly the last jump after it. but that channel is sooooo fucking sketchy

 

[hartig]

nasty

 

[skier_boy26]

uh, i beg to differ. channel gaps are super fucking sick, but they do have their consequences (hell, I've hit the wall of a channel gap before and got fucked up).

The big problem with this one is that the scale is all fucked up considering there is a jump practically in the landing, making speed and angle a real mind fuck, and thus more dangerous than it would be otherwise.

 

[Wis_Skier_23]

I disagree the one at keystone a couple years back was pretty sick
