anybody know how many stories high this is?
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!
sick shit
hes a fucking baller.
Terje didn't straight air his record. And why does this have to turn into skiing vs. snowboarding?
haha are you kidding sooooooooo sickkk
according to that red bull ladder, it looks a lot more like 37-38, not even close to 34!!!
Simon is fuckin ownage.
and man with a cork 9
thats soo dope
but an air to switch would have been more baller.
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
"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
and where are the rest of the JOSS videos. WTF
and is it just me or is Red Bull involved in just about every interesting thing in the world...
hahaha
but ya he did it,
at SUNDAY RIVERR =]
