P-A Rousseau who just retired from the Canadian mogul team plans on doing a ski jump(the type we see at the Olympics with 250cm skis and a skinsuit) and base jump out of it. He hasn't released the details yet but imagine ski jumping from a cliff, gliding for like 30 seconds and opening the parachute. Seems fucking insane.
Here's the news in French :

Yup, deffinate april fools/troll thread. I translated something with the number 1000 in it instead of stumbling my way through with my horrible french. Turns out it was something about him ski jumping a 1000 meter cliff...... Yeah right.

That's where the base jump part of the jump comes into play. So basically a ski jump off like a 1000 meter cliff(not with regular skis but 250cm ones used for distance ski jumping) and then he would open his parachute out of it. It's not an april fool's joke.
