probally the ski jumping jumps.... they go like 140 meters. and the world record is 240 meters (785 feet).... if you are talking literally on jump size, like amount of snow.... the transfer in eye trip looked pretty damn huge.

The longest tricked jump was Matt Collins at 2001 super park.  198 foot backy off a cat built takeoff into pow.  It was a huge step down.

The thing is that they don't travel horizontal distance 240m... It's measured by the surface of the slope so it's actually shorter than that.

But yeah it is frickin insane, sends chills down my spine just watching this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPFOqctuzK0&feature=related

i don't know the sizing, and in comparison to others, but this is pretty damn big.

185 to the knuckle.

Wilson has the record for longest jump on alpine skis. Not sure of the distance but he hit it at 98 mph. Problem with going bigger is getting a towin to get you moving faster.
