footage where the show the run-in to the jump always makes me nervous. It's so much more real. For some reason, music and quick edits in ski movies make the skiing less real for some reason. But I look at this and think "i could attempt that. That would be really really scary. Julien was probably very nervous going into that."

the gap of the cork 990 is smaller than the gap rail julien did this one is about 25 meters and on this gap rail thomas diet the brother of antoine diet the kid did the cork 990 crash really bad on this rail. like he went to short and hit the angle of the rail with his hip and broke his femur in 5 pieces and the bones went out of his skin and he lost 2 liters of blood
