Chaps gap or pyramid

I know a lot of people are gonna laugh at this just like the last thread on how to get to chaps gap. But that kid proved everyone wrong and went and hit chads and ended up getting some real sick shots on it. I'm kinda gettin itchy to go for it this year, whether it just be a straight air or trick it if I feel confident enough. Just wondering how many other people have went and hit either of these gaps.

I know that a lot of the kids on this site are going to think this thread is a troll thread, but I really do believe in my ability to atleast throw a massive mute over the gap, and I'd love to be able to claim that I've hitten the gap for the rest of my life. I got plenty of ski buddies that I know will be down, the only thing that makes me nervous is the guniea pig. If i know i'm going to clear the gap, i'll have no problem sacking up and hitting it. Anyone that's hitten it post in this thread as I'm stoked to go for it this year.

I'm not going to argue with kids on ns.

This thread is intended to help me hit chad's or pyramid gap. Like i've said, if you don't believe I'm good enough to hit it that's fine, I know I am.

exactly what im saying, you know you are very good at baseball and you will tell someone that if they ask or it is relevant to the conversation or point you are making.  kids who never played the traditional sports don't get that because they are still hung up on the "im alternative and a rebel" mindset. Alot of kids don't understand the difference between self confidence and arrogance.

yeah he doesn't need evidence to prove anything just like OJ did to prove he was innocent.

Take a few cleansing breath, light some incense a refocus your chi.  Let it go.  If he does it, great.  If he doesn't do it, that's fine too.  The internet fisting is getting old.

I'm 20 and at University. I'm actually really stoked after watching a few videos, I know i'm capable of getting it done and I really want to this season. It's gonna happen, just wait.

Hope you do it, that would be sick. If you do can you make sure you are wearing a GoPro? I think a POV of chad's/pyramid would look so sick.

Dude, we get it you are going to hit chad's gap. Why are you even arguing on an internet thread about it though?

I don't doubt you are going to hit the gap. Hell if I could get there I would be hitting it too. Just is it really necessary to go on newschoolers and brag/argue with people about it months in advance? It's just a jump, just go do it and show us videos when you do.

You just keep pushing it further and further don't you. Since you're in university you should realise the contradiction in stating that you know for a fact that you can do something, without having ever attempted it. This defies all logic, and is not possible. Put your money where your mouth is, stop claiming, and frickin hit it.

i picked up a gopro this summer and havent' even used it on snow yet, but I def. do intend on wearing it when I hit the gap, that'd be a real sick shot.

Goooood luck dude..

To all the haters, obviously this guy is seriously thinking about hitting it, or else he wouldnt have made this thread (cause he knew how much hate he would have gotten) .. And if he is serious, then why tell him he is dreaming, why not just support him, and if he goes up there and doesnt do it, he is going to get mocked and he will deserve and Im sure he is aware of that, but until he backs out, give him benefit of the doubt...
So my opinion.. Do it dude!

everyone quote this until there is an answer, I really want to know if the guy is serious and not just trolling hard.

And I really want to hit Pyramid at some point, so if he is serious, I'd be down to drive out to hit pyramid/film him on Chads...I wouldn't hit chads...

chads and pyramid are like 4 feet apart. you should be the first person to build and hit them in the same day. and dont break your ankles.

If you can get your hands on one of those surveyor tools and have taken any physics classes, you should be able to figure out exactly the speed you need. Just be smart about it and build the lip much bigger than you think you need to. Good luck anyway.

Serious question, not intended hate or anything just pure curiosity...

How is it that if you have skied 100 days a year, and are comfortable tricking 80 ft park jumps, you have absolutely no pics of vid?

I've already said I don't. If you're serious about hitting pyramids send me a PM and i'll hook it up with the dates i'm planning on and we'll see if that works for you. As of now I am leaning towards Pyramid first just to get the feel of things.

As for the last guy, yeah I got a couple buddies that will def. be able to help me out in terms of the physics of it, thanks though.

Theres no way your as good as you say you are and have absolutely nothing to show of it. And the fact that your planning dates when you want to do it is rather disturbing to me too. You think you can just say I want to hit it on February 22 and expect to go up there and it being perfect conditions to hit. Come on man you must have some common sense.

It's not like I'm not going to school or have a job or anything? Obviously I need to atleast plan on certain dates, I'm planning on going there for about 9 days during march some time and waiting for weather conditions to cooperate. If for some reason all 9 days are super shitty and don't fit the conditions I want then I won't hit it. I'm pretty confident that mid march will have filled in the take off and landing substantially and I have high hopes the weather will cooperate with us.

Just to clear things up, the people that I'll be going with have been there before and know exactly where both gaps are, so finding the gaps isn't an issue. However, we do live out of state and that's why planning and setting up dates are necessary.

He is right, but if winter hits early and the snowpack is good enough you can go anytime.... The right conditions can come and go within a half a day... You just have to do your best to watch the weather reports then hope for the best... If anyone gets to session either one, they are lucky... I have lived Utah my entire life, and I have only be lucky enough to hit each one once... Good luck.

The fine line between stupidity and bravery has been blurred, but in life you either stay happy with what you have or you really live no matter what people think of you :D Good luck, I don't know who you are but it should be a laugh what ever happens!

I'm waiting for the day someone hits Chad's BEFORE they put out their press-release claim.

Children these days sure do love their internet fame, it's sickening.

Here is my very humble advice.... listen to youself... If you feel comfortable go for it... Everyone feels the butterflys and that is normal, but it doing it when you feel uncomfortable that you risk getting seriously jacked up.... If the jump is built properly and the conditions are good and you feel comfortable.... Go for it! It really all you can do... Nothing will keep you from getting hurt, all you can do is us common sense... Don't try to force it... Good Luck Homie!

Bloody hell. Some people on this site are seriously bitchy over nothing. Skiierman consistently amazes me with his moany, unconstructive comments. Who cares if the guy will or won't hit these gaps. Take him as genuine and offer the guy some advice. That's all he came here to ask for. I can see this turning into another "does anyone know how to get to Chad's Gap..." type thread with ultimate ownage once the video appears.
