Simon Dumont Breaks World Record!

words & photo by Mike Rogge
Friday, April 11, 2008

Freeskier Simon Dumont broke the World Quarter Pipe Record today in his home resort of Sunday River. The Bethel local hit 34 ft, breaking the previous record of 32.5 ft held by snowboarder Terje Haakonsen. Dumont broke the record with a cork 900 tail grab.

Stay Tuned to Newschoolers.com for a complete recap of this record-breaking event!

Average Rating: 9.68 of 38 ratings
what?
....large.
fuck yeaaa dumont
Hoooooooly...
thats nutss
knew he would some day..and with a cork 9 no less..we need video
wowwwww
holy shit, cork 9 tail. I think Terje's record was a straight air
that is fucking nuts
TWA
With a 9?? dopeee
im speachless
from the pic it looks like hes just about 38ft up
Fuck yeah. Damn, that is impressive.
giant
THATS ILLLLLLLLLLLLL
The Dumont!
let me be the first to say it : that's so Red Bull
BBG
WOW!!! congrats Dumont!
massive!
daimmmmbbbb
there we go
krazy
insane ... lol I remember my friend told me Dumont drunkenly claimed at the IF3 he would go 30 ft this year and we were all taking it as a joke
Fuck yes Dumont. Sick.
sickkkkk
I saw that thing being built and its absolutely huge. cork 900 FTW!!
shit was epic. i think he hit right around 55mph on the in-run.
Maybe its just me but that looks more than 34 to me?
cork9? vid or it didnt happen haha
jeez simon!

and i thought candides qp hits were sick! [all though they still are]
so red bull
yeah dumont
hahaha...."He broken the world record with 34 feet of air...while doing a 900 tail grab." Making it look easy :P

WOO!
Go big or Go home !
Mop
whoa
dude that fucking amazes me, not only did he do it but he busted a fat 9, LETHAL DESCENT BITCHES
he looks like he went 38, not 34
video, quick!
the picture is taken from below the top so it looks like he's higher
YESSSSSS SIMON!
hats off!
damn son. way to represent maine. and with a cork 9, that shit is ridiculous
DUUUUMONT YOU ARE A MONSTER!
I hope they add that to Guinness. How big were the other peoples "Big Hits" comparable? That 1/4 looks amazing. I would love to see your cork 5 truck in slow motion on that! How much of the transition was covered?
terje's was a frontside 5 or something.. but this was craaazy!
Olo
So Sick!!
Skiing is taking back the heights. With a cork 9 no less. Most impressive.
holy shit, thats insane. with a 9
does his pole sticking down take the score down to 34 or something?
Colby was boosting too! Colby was right around the 32ft mark.
cork 9 tail FTW
^^^thats not his pole its his boner, i think he used it like a pole vault to get up that high
holy shit ^haha
holy shit he broke the record with a cork 9 tail omg!
Terje did a BS360. Not a straight air, not a FS5.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g00PlqcCfJs
simon is an impressive skier.
thats outrageously huge
That's disgusting

large and incharge
what, a fuckin cork 9??! what?
fuck me dumont is nuts. thats with a nine..
I thought it was going to be super lame that he built all this just so he could air it out to whatever the record was, but a cork 9 shit's legit.
WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTT Dumont is the man
WHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAATTTTT Dumont is the man
that's just nuts. What's more impressive is that it wasn't a straight air!
well i'll be damned... congrats simon! glad to see a skier with the title:)
hhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllyyyyyy shit. Why to go Simon!
So Sick Dumont.
jesus christ.
where are they counting from because in that pic he is easily over thirty six and maybe up to thirty eight
900?? i thought he'd straight air
so sick.

anybody know how many stories high this is?
yeaaaaa dumont!!!
floaaaaaaaatttyyy
hes a fucking god
J2A
i thot he was jus gonna do a 180. thats sooo sick
hhhhhhhhhooooooooollllllllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy shit thats large
damn that's crazy. I knew a skier would break Terje's record. Skiers are just more stable at higher higher speeds and taking big landings.

Terje's record was insane though. A backside three. So landing switch from 32 feet out. Arguably more difficult, but who knows

Congrat's Simon!
fuck! too bad for terje though..
yeah!!
looking at that picture again, he looks really close to the right edge of the quarter. Imagine falling off the side of that thing. That's crazy to drift and still go that high.
hells yea simon
i thought he'd straight it too
its like jamie pierre, v2.0 =)
and mad fucking respect for spinning a cork 9 on a world record HEIGHT event... that's taking it the extra mile.
yea simonnn!
sooo hugee!
I heard that he was gona try for the record again, and thats sick the he cork 9ed it
If he could have lifted up his pole it would have been 36
go simon thats DOPE !!
Jeaaaa dumont!
thats so fuckin red bull, he should just try and break 40ft. i know thats pretty much impossible but it would just prove how RADiculous he is.
simon would do the most massive cork 9 ever
ahahaha he did it while doing a cork 9!!!! omg.
dddaaaaaammnnnnnnnnnnnnn
awsome with a 9
sick shit
So sick, to bad hes a cocky prick
huuuuuuugeeeeeeeee
well now, thats quite high if i dont say
that boy needs therapy
aaaaaaaaaaaah, that is big.
that qp is huge.. he loooks soo small in the pic:P
SSo ssiicckk!! simon is going high!
haha i love how scropie is teh first one to comment this......this is sick
ahehaehaehaehaeheahheaehaheaeahheaae, THAT IS RIDICULOUSS!!
I bet that cork 9 looks like my 1
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah simon.
I heard he ate deck on the first hit then hit up some pain medi then hit it again.
looks more like 38 to me
wow thats definatly rediculous i wonder what he was thinking looking to the bottom of the QP about 60 feet down
word.
that's insane ... props to him I'm sure this is takes a lot of pressure on his mind now! Back to pipe domination
not only does he break the record, but he decided to cork 9 it while he does it.
hes a fucking baller.
VIDEO! Simon=Epic!
pics or it didnt happen
Jesus. Cork 9 too - thats impressive.
woooww
hell yea dumont, hell yea
that is sicccckkkkk
whattttttttt
Impressive. . . Most impressive.
looks like 38...
Going 5 feet out blew my mind. Such respect for this record.
not only did he break it, but he threw a nine in there too.
jesus fucking christ....awesome.
OMG that is sooo azzzum!
skiing is so much better than snowboarding for this reason, simon actually did something while getting 34 feet of vertical, while terje straight aired 32.5
SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET
SICKKKKK!
MASSIVE. christ has returned...
That is the sicks thing I HAVE EVER SEEN... i just blew a load in my pants
[scratch.pro] = idiot.

Terje didn't straight air his record. And why does this have to turn into skiing vs. snowboarding?
YEAH SIMON!!!!
That's massive!
yeah simon alright!!!!!!!! thats huge
HOLY SHIT!!!!!
PROPS SIMON!!!
i guess simon is just too good to not cork 9 it.
simply....epic
thats very high
Not bad at all


haha are you kidding sooooooooo sickkk
wowow i want to see that in reasons next year
damn girl!! thats just not right! lol
so sick!!!
QWE
I'm pretty sure Terje DID straight air the 32 foot record he held by the way, it was that or something relatively unimpressive like a 5... which prolly would be a lot easier than a straight air going that big.
according to that red bull ladder, it looks a lot more like 37-38, not even close to 34!!!

Simon is fuckin ownage.
That is the sicks thing I HAVE EVER SEEN... i just blew a load in my pants
so sick
Terje did a backside 3, Simons 9 was baller as fuck.
in the pic he looks atleast 36

and man with a cork 9
thats soo dope
actually closer to 38
now were talkin, simon. shhhhhwwweeeeeee!!!
finally a skier takes the title. snowboarders got wrecked
and killing the record in no other location but the home front of NOW!ENGLAND. thats how we know how to get down.
what da fuuuucckkk!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
9 what?


but an air to switch would have been more baller.
man
fuck me, simon is the king!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so sick
holy shit! a 900 tail is hard enough, but a world record 34 ft!!! Enough Said.
Yeah Dumont!
dope as fuck
Congrats
faget
nooo way
It might look like 38, but you have to realize that the thing is giant and so while the perspective might make him LOOK like 38, he isn't actually

Terje didn't do a 'bland' or 'normal' quarter record. Anyone who thinks it was hasn't ridden a board at high speed and felt the difference in stability and compression ability

When Dumont makes the NY Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/08/sports/othersports/08jump.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=dumont&st=nyt&oref=slogin)
then ya know he's and freeskiing have made the big time in the rest of the world
slaying it.
video or it didnt happen!
well if your going to break a world record you might as well just cork 9 tail that shit...god he's crazy
so it is goin in the guiness!^^

"Terje's record was insane though. A backside three. So landing switch from 32 feet out. Arguably more difficult, but who knows"

a cork 9 tailgrab 34 ft out is definately harder then a flaily as fuck 360 32 ft out. but still both of em were sick
intence, he looks like hes at 38.
JEAAA DUMONT!!!
dang
videos?
yeaaa dumont killin it...gotta rep sunday river baby, holla at ya boy...
FUCK YA. AND THATS WHY I BUY RED BULL . no other company puts on as coool shit as them. they sponcer everyone.
and where are the rest of the JOSS videos. WTF
Not going to lie... thats epic. So sick. Gong huuuge.
whoa.
this is why simon is my hero
^copy that Simon is a legend, and that is fucking massive, and he beat a snowboarder, which makes it even more dope...

and is it just me or is Red Bull involved in just about every interesting thing in the world...
terje didn“t go straight, he did a bs 360
hollyyy fuck!!
aja
HO-LY-SHIT ! ! !
last guy who had the record was a snowboarder doing a straight air and now simon beatit with a cork9 tail grab! hahahah!!! WTFFFFF
simon is my friends brother!
hahaha
but ya he did it,

at SUNDAY RIVERR =]
holy shit, that is massive, and he didn't just break the record, he did it with a cork 9 tail, frickin rediculous.
he has been getting so much better every fucking year but this is crazy
he should go for the 10
and i dont know, maybe its better not to do a straight air if youre going that big, i just feel it on kickers, the bigger the better if you spin, but a 9 tail record breaking qp hit is still the ultimate dopage
holy shittt i would be scared of qps too if i was doing 9's 36 feet high
Finally this bum ass can do something right...
T-hall all the way
asshole^
Dumont is epic
BMB
^totally agree
tanner is a good skier but a total dumbass....dumont rocks
braedon...no need for neagtive attitudes...The dumont is the man
