so fucking sick! That was a huge drop without a 7! he skied it super fluidly too

in his description he says he blacked out after landing the 7 and doesn't remember skiing the second half!

he made it to the finals. the guy is moving up in the world

i bet tanner is stoked on this

Wouldn't say fluid. He did stop first for a second at the top of the line and then for another three seconds before his 7. Definitely cool though! Good to see some trickery in these kind of comps

Not sure how many big mountain comps you watch, (not saying you don't, it could be your thing) but that was pretty fluid. Lots of guys stop, scope, slide etc. a lot more than that in their runs for sure.

So sick Colin. That's insane.

I'm rooting for Lars and Crystal Wright. But I want to see what CC throws and hope someone else goes for style points too.

I am getting the feeling that the haters havent personally dropped into/ripped any face that remotely steep etc...


hence why they really dont understand how insane/skilled that really was.........that being said!!


FUCK YA COLIN!!!!!!!!!!

Brinson's run yesterday wasn't too tech as far as line choice goes, but it was really fast and fluid, and he stomped a 3 mid run

that wasnt really hate, he was just saying he stopped a couple times. which is true.

POV was gnarly, i couldnt imagine hucking a 7 off a cliff that big, soo much balls to do that.

That was sick,
As someone who doesn't get a chance to watch big mountain competitions but would like to more - don't they get a chance to scope their runs beforehand and thus not need to stop so much in the competition?

yeah they do get to scope their lines and really good skiers can ski runs without stopping. but if you are about to huck a 7 you better be damn positive that you are taking off at the right spot. its alot harder to tell where you are when you are in a line looking down and in most venues the consequences of sending a cliff a the wrong spot can be huge.
