Too bad skier don't get as much coverage hitting... the orage stuff last year (or the big pc jump) and road gaps like that.

because that was a world record...
i guess they could have done coverage of jaime's record drop but this was like a live thing, and there were tonsss of spectators so it makes more sense to cover this

u dunno about you but id much rather do a 120ft backflip on skis than on a bike, motocross is way more dangerous, respect to those guys, least we have snow to land on
