Yeah, cause skating with the stars isn't prolonging anyone's fame.

too funny to watch! first seeing how pumped they get for stomping such "easy" tricks and the fact that espn says those guys are going 80ft off that mound of snow piled up

hahaha love the commentary. i understand a small amount of japanese and at 0:31 im pretty sure they're explaining to the audience back home that the 'japan grab' is named because it looks like a karate kick.

this was great. A. the jump looks like something at holiday valley. B. the commentators laugh. C. i think the 80' they claimed would be the total flight path. D. mosely afterbang was beautiful plus his interview at the end. the original badass of freeskiing?

Awesome!  I had a pair of the Winter Heats!  Loved the pole plants and turns going into the jump too.

It's crazy to ee how far freeskiing has come, the claim after the Rodeo 7 was brilliant! If we continue to progress, imagine X games big air 2023!
