I have some respect for those guys. If not for them then we would be on a figure skating forum or some shit.

people were actually more baller than you would think back then. Hitting a like 60 ft "ramp" back then  is pretty much equivelent to  straight airing a 120ft  table today

yeah, jumping that with wooden skis straped to your feet is pretty sketch.  And I find it funny that after it was done wallisch's superunknown vid was the only video shown for other videos.
