that hip that candide went over all those years ago at superpark or parkasaurus or whatever it was, when he was like 35-40 feet off the deck was and still is absolutely the most radical shit that i have ever seen.

any chance its still around somewhere?  id love to see that again.

I really dont see a difference unless we're taking in amount of snow or size from takeoff to knuckle.

this other video of mike wilson is pretty big.

Also, anyone remember that jump in sessions 1242 that pep hit. it was placed randomly in the middle of an open tracked out slope and there was pretty much no landing, it was just the same slope with an angle all tracked out, anyways that was big too.

I think you may be referring to the one from Draw the Line, in which case here's Kazuhiro Kokubo hitting it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Srmyba-ikuQ Extra points for a dopetastic song (Dangerdoom, Benzi Box). Big.

well think about it from takeoff to knuckle, those ski jump things have the knuckle pretty quickly but the landing is LOOOOOOOONG

yeah i have to say, although not the biggest jump straight up, i consider this the most impressive one. considering its in the freakin backcountry into pow. not like a super calculated park jumps. either way, all this shit is ridiculous.

True, this is big. But keep in mine this photo was taken with a fisheye lens. So It's not really as big as it looks in the picture.

Mammoth Super Park, the year candide aired that hip. We got a foot of fresh and they pushed a huge step down jump into the pow. Matt Collins did a 198 foot backy into toilet bowl above the top of chair 10. That is the BIGGEST JUMP EVER on dh boards. Ostness measured it afterwards at 198 feet. just 2 feet shy of 200. It's in the super park movie but no one ever picked up on how big it was. No one else, not even Madds, has done a trick that big.

Vid please.  That sounds uber ill.  If Candide's skis were six feet long with that sequence shot, you can measure Burtha at right around 150 feet to clear the knuckle.  I would love to see a 200 foot back flip.  If this is Leviathon in Tee Time, it looks pretty beefy too.  There is a shot of a guy under rotating the biggest, slowest back flip I have ever seen.  Anyway, it's so fun to watch this vid.
