This dude is a kook, he says hes testing the limits of christianity. What a brainwashed weirdo, and a dick. I hope the next cliff he hits has a big ass rock in the landing. He's not going to be to happy with god then.

Skier claims record cliff jump at Grand Targhee
By The Associated Press

JACKSON -- A Utah skier says he has set a world-record cliff jump at the Grand Targhee Resort in Wyoming, dropping 245 vertical feet off the back of Fred's Mountain.

Jamie Pierre, 32, of Salt Lake City, said Friday he made his record-breaking jump on Wednesday as a way to spread the Christian word. He has previously dropped 180 feet and said he had been calculating this jump and waiting for perfect conditions for years.



"It wasn't some yahoo stunt," Pierre said. "I chose to do it so it would open up doors so I could witness my faith in Christianity."

Pierre said he had evaluated the jump for at least seven years before determining that his ability and conditions were right. Teton Gravity Research, a company that specializes in filming radical ski feats, measured the distance from the cornice to the landing hole with a range-finder to confirm the world record, he said.
