Dude, have you seen the steep lines he takes before the backflip?  He skis alone in avalanches.  Come on, just watch hes videos.  The dude does the most insane things.  I remember there was this one time, i forget word for word what he said but it was something like "can you see the bottom?"  "neither can I'  then just took off without even knowing what was down below.  Thats crazy!!  Have you seen the man ski in person?  It's amazing how he skis!!
