anyone else watch some of that saturday night. 100 meters distance. They float in the air with their 300 cm skis n 300mm underfoot. It's actually pretty cool but it's the same thing over n over again. I put it on Non-ski cause there's really not too much skiing involved

I saw people practicing in slc and its so much more rediculous in person... like a stick figure sailing a football field with skis on. It definitly takes balls

they just had the k95 tonight, i love watching it, it's so damn cool. have you noticed how small these guys are? they'll be like 6 ft but they'll weigh around 135-145lbs. i bet if a wind came in they'd blow right into the crowd.

Mad respect to those guys. Flying 300 feet is fucking crazy, anyway you slice it. I'm definitely going to watch the big one (k125) when it comes to Vancouver/Whistler in 4 years.
