When I just watched Joffrey Pollet-Villard drop one of the best runs since Candide. Flat 5's ala Crichton to the fucking moon. THAT is what halfpipe skiing is supposed to look like, fast and loose.

Every hit on that run looked FUN. Like that would be the most incredible feeling in the world floating around an alley-oop rodeo 5 20 feet off the deck.

According to science, i've calculated that hit to be between 20 feet and 25 feet, possibly even bigger

Got some lingering ankle damage from a fall last year, been steering clear of the pipe.  Joffrey's run just made me want to ski it again though! shooting for a 2014 comeback

That run was awesome, Dumont's run with no poles was pretty sick too.

Id like to see more of this guy, and less of everyone else who skis pipe.

Everytime you post I like you more and more. That run had me so hyped and I am rather tired of pipe skiing.

So refreshing to see guys like him. Getting really tired of the same tricks in the pipe.

does anyone remember Wing Tai Barrymore's run last year? He was going huge and then wrecked himself. Reminds me of this run by Joff. Just insane.
