Handplant idea from parkour

While I don't really think parkour is that cool, the shot at 0:42 (the one where the guy does the handplant 3 over the small green car) looks feasible on skis, yet I don't think I've ever seen anything exactly like it done before. Video:


at 0:42



Seems like it would be pretty cool, and able to be continued to 5 or 7 if there was a drop off on the other side. Any videos of people doing stuff like this on skis? I've seen pretty similar tricks, but that has a dope off-axis part to it.

Thoughts?

After watching it a few more times, it looks like a flat 3 handplant. I guess for a setup you would need something similar to the big log bonk they had on the US x-games course this year (the one towards the top, before the jump line)

Those huge drops to flat can not at ALL be good for your knees, and yeah that looks hella hard to do considering the tails of the skis

it would be like a reversed flat 3.  You would almost throw into it like a misty.

How the fuck do you not think parkour is cool? It takes extreme skill and balls to do just about all that shit.

Isn't it a lot like the handplant rodeo on that tree in the Revolver trailer?

That's exactly what I was thinking, kinda like a misty plant.

And I wasn't trying to say parkour isn't cool, I just don't really like the way it looks. It takes so much skill it's ridiculous, not to mention balls. Some of those drops/flips from rooftop to rooftop are reeeetardedly sick

you kids and your ability to break the internet

but seriously, that'd be tough just because of having long skis on
