So I was skimming through my dads copy of outside magizine from this month and it had a short article about how Julian Carr is going to attempt a 300 foot cliff drop...  Has anybody else heard of this?

yea, because spinning a few rotations off a jump is sooo much less pointless..

skiing is skiing man, wouldn't it be lame if we all did the same thing??

if you cant ride away from it without getting dug out of 2 meters of snow then i dont think it should be done, dont get me wrong i'll watch it but i just dont get the point.

Thank YOU!  It makes no sense.  You can spin a 540 in a comp and not land and get less points than when you would land it.  So if that's the case then why should it be counted for not landing and not skiing away after hucking a HUGE cliff.  You might as well have freerunners go up, run off, and land on their backs too, and then snowboarders, and then skateboarders, and then bikers, and then motocross riders.    Maybe my last part is wrong but I know I don't think it should be counted.

What is everyone talking about this counting for?  Is there some cliff dropping X-games event I don't know about?  Or is everyone's opinion as worthless as I think it is?  Who cares, he's going balls out and it will be sick to read about if he does it.

Everyone always called Seth an idiot with no style and whatnot, but I always loved watching his segments.

This is getting pretty dumb, but it's pretty entertaining.
As long as there's no ride away rule- fuck people trying that on hard pack

When a Yugoslav DC9 exploded in mid air, as a suspected result of a terrorist bombing, Vesna Vulovic plummeted over 33,000 feet to land on a snowy slope. Vesna Vulovic was paralyzed from the waist down, but later recovered and was able to walk. She was the only survivor and holds the record for the longest fall.

yeah it's true. the degree of the angle on that slope was so steep that it was almost a smooth landing, just like perfectly stomping the landing in skiing, and as the slope ran out it got less steep so she just rode it out. pretty much the luckiest thing ever.

Julian Carr is the man, and if he does drop it, it will be a well- thought out, planned huck, not some Jesus-will-save-me Pierre BS.

Well he'll probably scope in the summer(might have already been done) and then he'll measure the snowpack, poke for rock, and then wait for it to snow. It's not like he says "that's a big cliff, lets hit it!"

He would be retarded not to check the snowpack and for rocks, there is noo way in hell that he hasnt scoped out every aspect of it.

yea, skiing is skiing and surviving a fall off a giant cliff is not skiing. even if there is skiing before the fall and maybe after when you get dug out. totally lame to claim that and wack that outside reports on it, stick to real skiing Julian.

Learn how to spell before talking about any other kind of skill.

And sure it's not exactly skiing, but it's damn ballsy.
As for the no skill comment, Julian Carr Shreds as hard as just about anyone.

Thats what I was thinking. It's going to be sick but if he's going for the record its not going to be enough.

dude you can not say that is skiing I dont care who you are.  for any human to huck their meat off a 300 foot cliff is more of a stunt man than a skier. 

I couldn't see that being fun either haha.  just dropping to either your death or living to tell the tale and doing it willingly?  that aint balls son that just straight ignance.

He might as well, it will probably be easier to flip then to try and stay straight and get flipped onto his head like Jamie Pierre.

that was jamie buddy. this is julian, Junian Carr. aka the man with balls the size of continets. he also does not care that this isnt the record, because he already has a world record for the largest testicles. those who say this takes no skill, your are wrong. if he even lands slightly angled wrong...hes fucked. do drops as big as he does takes percision, skill, balls, preperation(for drops over 200), and there are no second chances. skiing park if i over rotate my first try at a 7, more than likely im gonna be ok and can try it again. If julian drops 200 feet and over rotates hes gonna be hosipalized at best...

I don't get this train of thought. So many people here are so concerned about what something LOOKS like. How's his steeze? Can he stomp it and bang it after?

For just a minute, step outside the box and think about it would FEEL like to punch it off a 300', to go through that experience and survive. If he does it and experiences that sensation and carries that with him the rest of his life--something that only 1 or 2 other people on this world have experienced--THAT is what matters. That's what counts. And I hope that's the number one reason we all ski, for the thrill--not to look good in other people's eyes.

not questioning you at all, but i want a link... 120ft to concrete with no injuries is amazing, seemingly unlikely to a EMT like me...

plus.. 4th story
