What is the biggest cliff air ever stomped clean?

Would guess somewhere round 65-70 ft, Seth Morrison knows a thing or two about large cliffs and clean rideaways...
 
Probably like 80 feet. According to Seth Morrison, ~70 feet is about the point where you should expect to crater instead of stomp. But considering various factors will affect that (momentum, trajectory, landing slope angle, slow conditions...) that will obviously vary substantially.

This is probably one of the biggest stomped clean and TGR claims it is 80 feet

Yeah he backslapped but still a clean stomp imo

If he backslapped, it was not a clean landing...
 
Hugo Harrison and Seth Morrison are definitely up there, but I gotta think that Sean Pettit may have it, too. He stomps the crap out of enormous cliffs.
 
Kaj Zackrisson in "The Way I See It" cant find a clip of it but they show the take off in the trailer.
 
I'm not sure what his biggest is, but Hoji has some of the cleanest stomped landings I've seen. His parts in Seven Sunny Days and Superheros of Stoke are two of my all time favourites.

That's what I came here to say.

Easily the cleanest stomps on big cliffs I've ever seen. Just had a quick look for some of his old footage but couldn't find any unfortunately.

yeah, this is the biggest one i can think of off the top of my head. the front flip posted above, i still say he landed it for sure, like i wouldnt hold the backslap against him...but this backy here, he just straight up stomps it. unreal.

as said, hugo has some huge clean stomps but i can't think of or find any off hand

sean pettit has some crazy big stomps. best example i can think of is 5:08 in this video:

Backslapping is not stomping and gets you tons of points docked in comps.

Sean Pettit has the youngest knees that is "pro", but lots of junior kids that go Ham. Google Issac Freeland or George Rodney.

That was so big and so gnarly.

I agree with these guys. Hoji stomps some big ones too. Kent Kreitler back in the day. In The Prophecy, TGR back in 2002 or so, he stomps a double stager where the first is about 25 feet. It requires sticking the landing in a billygoat fashion and then hitting the second air, not just pointing both stages. A 25 foot billygoat drop takes phenomenal control, you have to be a great skier to do that, it was one of the things McConkey was insane at. The second air in Kreitler's line was about 60 feet and he stuck it clean. It is one of the best lines I have ever seen and I think it got best line at the powder awards that year. Stuff like that is timeless, it is very hard to progress that type of big mountain skiing. If you guys get to watch Kreitler's segment in The Prophecy do so, it is incredible and would fit in well in the movies today.

yeah kreitler is a great example. him, nobis, hugo, those dudes have some amazing shit from back in the day that is hard to remember for me cause 1) it's hard to find online and 2) jesus christ the music in videos back then was so bad haha

and yeah mcconkey might not have had anything approaching the biggest ever, but he was easily one of the best at smoothly sending absolutely massive cliffs and stomping the piss out of it. and yeah he was nasty at billygoating drops
 
Check this out. Cody Townsend rips a crazy line on top of a huge cliff then stomps cleanly one of the biggest airs I have ever seen. Mike Douglass, who would know, called it one of the best lines ever put down in Alaska.

MSP used this footage in the way I see it, but I wish they had just put this, and part one in the movie, as it is better than what they had, even though what they had was sick. Henrik also stomps a 50 foot 360 off a spine, which is just nuts.

Here is part one, which is also a great watch.

This freeski TV segment is some of my all-time favorite footage. It is true big mountain domination. Enjoy.

That 30m/100ft cliff was nuts!
 
How bout Kristofer Turdell's line at the FWT this year in Vallnord arcalis. That has got to be one of the cleanest stomps I've ever seen

Very nice. That snow did not look ultra deep and he really skied the line fluidly.
