They look  fucking amazing....scary but pretty beautiful...really similar to the one's for big air comps in Barcelona etc.

everyone knows skiing used to be way cooler back in the day, hot doggin alongside bikini bitches

look at the faggotry now a days, too cool for school ballerinas on baby boxes, gays on trays, dressing like munchkins, long girly emo bitch hair under helmet after helmet, slow signs guarded by pass pulling nazis. The new era has truly ruined what was once the greatest playboy sport in the world.

Thats what they did for the Snowjams back in 2002. Took blocks of ice and fed them through an ice chipper.

This is awesome! Good find man. Makes Big air these days look pretty lame - are there any barriers on the edge of those landings or if the skiers catch an edge do they just fly into the crowd??!

No way in hell would I hit those jumps. Nevermind without metal edges, real bindings and boots not made from leather. Sheesh.

Crushed ice on the landing, that is seriously burly, no wonder they needed straw to crash into at the end.
