What do you guys think is the single greatest shot of all time? I'm really having trouble thinking of my favorite, curious to see what you guys think.

I hate Tanner Hall so much, but his huge jump over the cliff/pillow thing like 200 metres was the biggest I've ever seen, didn't land though. Also Mark Abma in EDIAS, huge sev in Alaska

How could there ever even be such a thing with millions of killer shots on video and still.  How could any one shot be the best in history?

end of fucking thread (insert quote of seth morrison backflip). to some degree, thats STILL the most badass thing i have seen in the backcountry (i didnt watch the most recent (3-4 years) movies i have to admit tho).

that whole segment was so above and beyond everyone else its just silly.

and i actually disagree with the whole "shot" assessment. its, imo shot from a pretty good angle that shows how ridiculously small a human is on these faces and how big that cliff was especially. and since he did a pretty clean trick, you can still see everything in detail. just watch how pep shakes afterwards, still my favourite part of it.

Gotta go old school with Candide's 5 triple grab over the hip at superpark. No doubt in my mind.

Talkington's cork 9 over the down tube using the Nixon jib as a lip

Max Morello's both way 270 onto that rusty urban DFD (mightve been down) rail

Corey Vanular's Flat 5 Japan over the channel gap from Long Story Short, as well as the cork 630 onto the flat down box

Now this may not be the best "shot" or "trick," but it'd easily the best looking and most out of the box thing Ive seen on a box. Opening judo kick cork 1 from Lemonade 0:50

x2 it is worth a mention. It is my favourite shot because it's so smooth and the landing is perfect.

Thankfully these were both mention on the first page but here they are again:

1) IDEA, Pep's 180
Probably the single greatest closing shot of any movie
37:21

2) Seth's backflip - insane...with CR, Pep, and Abma(?) watchin
