Big, big air

Massive air and little to be done about it after launch but every chance that guy is lying in the snow thinking ‘wow, someone has to have caught that on cam.’

A landing as bad as you will see

Huge air followed by a shocking landing – just needed a bit more speed and air time but those small margins…

Overcast, miserable snow and a landing that ends seasons

This was likely to be the last jump for a while. This is definitely one of the ones that lacks any positives.

Second day on skis and circa. 20m air – hero!

Light reprieve – this had to hurt but at least there was visible movement from the victim. The cameraman has a great time watching from the safety of the rear of the camcorder. The best thing about this one is that it is apparently the second day ever on skis for the ‘victim’. In that sense whilst there are harder impacts and bigger air out there if you calculated a skill/experience to impact ratio then this guy would be podium material. In the gloomy light I think you can even make out the denim ski pants – this guy is an absolute hero of ours.

200 foot overshoot

This one wasn’t even close – 200 feet too far! I think they need to find the envelope where they sketched this one on to see where it went wrong.
