Is there something comparable? A huge, high-consequence rail that skiers return to every few years to up the ante?

Theres was this shot of a guy falling like 20 feet off a double kink at the end of a teaser a couple years ago.  That rail was fucking gnarly.

No it isn't dangerous enough to be compared to Chads. If it were like 50ft above a sawmill with no roof, however...

i'd say that just because its so high consequence and no one has really done tricks successfully on it.

nah, you can't die on that rail and the opportunity to trick it isn't really there by the looks of how fucking hard it is to clean it.

Yeah, the guy was absolutely screaming. That fall was terrifying. I know it came out in 2005. Maybe an old Stept movie...? I think I have it saved on a hard drive somewhere; I'll take a look when I get home.

I don't thik you can really compare rails to chads gap.  sure rails are knar but.... idk rails are just rails, the consequence level cannot really be compared to chads.

that rail is like 300 yards from my dorm room window. i can assure you it is not ever going to be hit. the pic doesn't do it justice how steep that rail is. plus the in run is the busiest street in durham.
