ski & snowboard crashes from the dark side
This video crosses the line I am afraid – I cant even manage a wry smirk – it is a shocker. Skip it if you are faint hearted, it is a pretty bleak crash. The next one will be more uplifting – promise!
This guy must have been buzzing until the impact. Nice switch and landing in what is a fairly confined area and then bingo (or lotto if you are on the continent) champagne podium moment over mein freund.
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.
The crash is a shocker but you keep going back to the opening frames and thinking how? How the hell did this one develop? Maybe some fogging in the goggles?
I really hope this skier was OK but one other thing caught my eye, despite the impact and the loss of both skis they still managed the full box — nice job.
……alas, no, nein, non. He breaks many fashion rules but crucially sets off on this Alaskan descent with just his golden locks as cranial protection. Early into the route his straight skis throw him out and what follows is a less than controlled descent.
This goes wrong from the off. The jump is made on a football field — you know the margin for error is tiny. It kind of looks like he scored though on landing
The honour of the first Skidiots video goes to a guy who trusted his driver or maybe his mathematician to calibrate this jump. Whoever it was got it very wrong. The video is slow to start but give it a few seconds and then you should wince or smile.
