Julian Carr on Air Jordan madness

It seems like Julian carr has emulated Treadway's legendary feat of singling up all of Air Jordan - this time with a frontflip and cameras rolling. What a fucking boss.

"Slightly visible plume of snow erupts somewhere near Air Jordan" would be a more appropriate tile for this thread until we get a better video, which I am sure is coming. From what I almost saw, that is fucking sick though.

Better video will come with Sherpas next release I would have thought. It'll be worth the wait.

It's Stan Rey backflipping the bottom part of Jordan and Julian front flipping lookers right.

Haha, julien Carr is more of a cliff jumper than a skier. I'll bet you he landed on his back, and dug his way out of his bomb hole. It's still pretty damn impressive, but it's still not really landing the trick. Julien can't claim landing a 120 foot front flip unless he landed on his feet and rode away. What if henrik had landed on his ass on his triple nose butter? He wouldn't have gotten credit for landing the trick. Why julien gets credit for hucking huge shit to his back is pretty silly.

Julian is actually a really good skier.. and he rode that out as best possible...The guys got big balls.. no one rides out a 120 foot front flip.. not even Seth.. pull your head out of your ass and recognize that Julian is a mother fucking boss!

someone is jelly. at a certain point you can't really stomp your trick, its more about dispersing impact well enough so you can get up and get skiing again quickly.

Julian for sure has more balls than me but anything over 100' is nearly impossible to stomp.  Stomping a 80' cliff is WAAAAAY more impressive than landing on your back and skiing out IMO.  People hating on the guy who brought this point up have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.  Below is a similar situation of what he's bringing up.  Listen I'm just speaking from the physics and technical side of things and can't huck anywhere near that big but landing on your back is really the ONLY way to "land" these.  Want to know why Permin is MSP movies and Julian Carr isn't anymore?  Because it takes hellofa lot more skill to STOMP 70-80 cliffs than it does to send 120'ers to your back.

stomp or not you gotta respect the sheer testicular size needed to huck something like that. it takes balls of steel to hit AJ, taking the whole thing at once is just too rad to deny.

Oh no denying the balls of steel factor.  Pretty crazy huck for a couple different reasons.  Look at all those guys off to the right, Powder day circus much?  Also what if one of those guys skied over underneath the cliff?  Jesus, both of those guys would be dead.  Idk, hucking that big inside a resort is gnarly either way.  I hope he landed in untracked...

That is actually insane. The landing was definitely tracked out too. That whole area got tracked super fast after it opened.

thank you. I always need a good reminder as to why I stay the fuck away from Whistler.

er, I mean: Whistler is awesome, you should all go move there! Nowhere in BC comes even close to Whistler, don't even bother with the rest of the province.

this. it was supposed to be like that they all had radios and took about an hour to set up the shot and make sure everyone was ready. I'm sure they probed the fuck out of the landing too.

i don't even think you can call that a front flip, he landed on his neck. he needs to drop at least 180 to finish that flip

I know. but someone commented about Dave Treadway doing that. He gapped jordan on the lookers left side. Julian did it on lookers right side

Lookers left is definitely bigger than lookers right, Julian basically sent a single 120, treadway has to send the double as a single which is HUGE.
