You little haters. I had an awesome time on that jump. Yeah it was unsafe. yeah it was sketchy! But it was rad and was a huge step forward in exposing our sport to a different crowd! I hope more similar events sprout from this one! There was also a HUGE turnout! thousands and thousands of spectators! almost filling the whole arena! So give Icerair a break. It's hard being the first to try something new. let's hope it's much safer and better executed next year but you have to admit it was sick!

stop hatin.

i completely disagree. yea it sucks to get hurt, but risks need to be taken. if not, there wont be that satisfaction of daring to do something risky/ dangerous. i feel for kaya, yea, but she should kno that this sport embodies danger with eveything. people almost die everyday, its part of life. if you are worried about that than dont do it. but people that do do it should know that they could end up hurt or dead, its what it is. shit happens.

sure risks should be taken but nt unnecessary ones like this i mean theres a huge difference between pushing the sport and just making shit dangerouse as hell the jump was not pushing the sport..it was suicide

the thing that separates pros from us mortal beings is that they can throw down wen the conditions are sketchy and that they have balls we all wish we had. so even if the jump was not the best weve ever seen, the pros could handle it and if they didnt think they could who was pressuring them into hitting it?? it was a sick event and it brought snow to the bay!!! who woulda thought id be able to see a skiing competition with pep, olsson, tj, etc. here?? if you guys lived places where it didnt snow im sure youd be stoked to see osmething like this even if it wasnt the best constructed jump.

pros are mortal they injure themselve too. it's just how they get paid skiing in those conditions.

They still get paid even if they are fucked while "normal" being dont.
