Even still, after enough pot I'll try anything. Except like going underwater for a long period, cuz that shit tweeks me out when im burnt. But yeah, I might not clear it and end up in the hospital. But when some1 asks what you did last week and your like I hit Chad's you are king, and thats it... U are now known for having the hugest brass ones out of your whole crew, and have established yourself at ur mtn as that crazy mother fucker taht almost cleared Chad's... and yes I would hit it after smoking a gotti w/ my buddy ferg, and putting on som blairing ass headphones and just zoning the fuck out.

for those who know chad's and pyramid, there's more to it than just hitting it. major compression to fix if you are building it and sometimes when the temp isn't right - you can't even clear it by straight lining it from way up unless you salt the inrun the night before. i've seen alot of people hit the wall. but when things are dialed, it is doable; but, i agree that it is one of those things most people would have to see in person to decide if they'd do it.

If I was a better skier, knew I'd make the landing, had someone make the jump, perfect inrun, and had the right skis, and someone could get me to Utah, I'd hit Chads.

Jesus People. I guarantee the pros make it look way easier than it is that's why they're pros. Plus, it takes a lot of work and knowledge to get all the factor right.

Tanner hit it blazed, and look what happened to him. Someone said he doesn't smoke at all anymore, but that's probably an NS rumor.

And to whoever said they haven't gone 50 mph on skis, let me assure you that you have. 50 is fast, but not that fast. If you've tucked a relatively steep, long groomer, you've hit 50.

thats the best thread ever. and there was a thread on this a few months back also, I think most people will say that they would hit it, but when you get out there and see the size of the gap. its a no.

haha you kiddin me, I bet you'd eat shit tryin to go down the in-run to check the speed! how bout you go up there and LOOK at it from the top of the in run and tell me you'd hit it...

tanner, sage, jon, candide and whoever else hit it becuase they are pro, not some rookie ass pussy from out of town...

and claiming you'll hit it and eat shit is even worse. how can you claim to hit a gap like that and not even think you'll make it? shut the fuck up you pussy

I might hit it if I knew it was the perfect jump and I had another of the oxycodones sitting next to me right now. Oh wait. I'm from Tennessee and I've never hit anything bigger than about 10 ft. Nevermind.

think about this. You could be walking down your street slip on ice and hit your head and die or you could be driving along in your car singing to frank sinatra and bam someone could hit you and you could be peralized. everything in the world including breathing is not safe now you gotta risk some shit to have some fun.

Its a long ways... Tanner did eat it, badly. However, I've seen lots of video of people comming up short on powder days and bailing straight into the side of the landing and keep going (Candide for example). It would depend on the snow.

if the run-in was perfect, the landing was powder-clad, and i had a 100% guaranteed chance of landing perfect, then yes I would hit it. In fact, if those stats were all in place, I'd probably switch-cork-9-mute it.

you hear the numbers, and see pics of it, but it is way different when you re standing up on it. pyramids is still big, but much smaller compared to chads.
