I've seen a couple threads about getting old lately. STFU.
Guy Jones is my new ski buddy and I'm kinda sad he just went back to Spokane. He also shreds harder than you on two wheels.

People tend to grossly overestimate heights...

I hit this at Crystal last year, maybe 25-30ft tops.

The bottom stage of air jordan is maaaaaybe 40ft..

This looks like maybe 35ish?

you guys are fucking morons. the this air is big, and all you can do is be straight douchers on how you think that its a smaller cliff than it looks. any time i wonder how big a cliff is i do what snowmaster did with the people lined up down it because that shows the perspecitve. the only other way is to go stand on the edge of it then throw a rope off.

cliffs change size all year, one day its big then the wind blows and then it looks half the size or vice versa, it melts out for a week and gets big again. quit being morons and give this dude some props hes a rippin skier in the later days of his life. a point when you trendy fucks sadly who mostly will have lost love for skiing when you cant ride rails and park anymore.

I'm pretty sure most people who posted were stoked on the air, and how clean he stomped it... just that the guys friend who posted it is probably a little off in the distance. 35ft vs. 50ft is a bit of a difference? 

Watch this. Crazy russians jumping off a 5 story building. ~10ft per story in a building. = 50ft.

Looks just a weee bit bigger eh?

thanks for bringing some maturity here.

I'm gonna get more footy of Guy for all the haters to bitch about. The dude is constantly charging everything and it's way inspiring.

Who's being immature now? Almost every single person that mention your judgment of cliff height was off also mention that they were stoked on the vid, and the guy charging and stomping.

Stop selectively reading, you're just being called out on having a distorted estimation of height. (by about 30% or more)

Everyone is stoked about him, but when YOU exaggerate height YOU get called out.  Has nothing to do with people "hating" on your buddy. If you could read at all, every comment has a positive vibe to it save those relating to your overestimation of height, which is only fair.

all the good vibes for Guy are great. they'll get passed along too.
It's definitely a short 50 footer, but it's close enough and the name goes so well you have to use it. It's just all this bitching about me exaggerating that is bull shit. I'm not even the one who named or posted that youtube video. some bird locals did, namely Tanner and Oakley. Maybe you've heard of them? I just thought I'd share it and I'm not afraid to defend something that is as plain as a picture. Ignoring the proof I already showed is ignorant.

but what is an NS thread without some drama/debate anyhow?

you should have seen the 8ft cornice I took for 6ft during my early evening ski session a few hours ago. it was sooo sick. too bad I didn't bring my ruler with me so no one will believe the massive air I got.

Last I checked HALF the responses were people saying you over exaggerated the height, while giving the dude props.

You're the one that starting mentioning "haters bitchin" and "going to get more footy to prove everyone wrong" while refusing to read the positive connotations associated with the comments calling you out on the height, therefore creating the drama.

Sorry, I didn't realize Tanner was posting up vids of this dude, he must be the shit. And any way you look at it 30ft is a far cry from 50ft.
