New schoolers meets wiki
Tanner Hall
broke both of his ankles while sessioning the gap in 2005. He also made
several successful jumps while filming for "Teddy Bear Crisis",
including a Switch 180, 540 and a few switch 900's.
Tanner Hall's infamous ankle break became known by skiers and boarders world wide, the hilarity ensued on Newschoolers.com when Tanner Hall said this famous quote that fateful day
Tanner: "Ow, f**k my ankles are broken!"
Anonymous Filmer: "His ankles are broken!"
Tanner: "Ahhh!"
Later in an interview conducted by EXPN, Tanner Hall said it felt like there was "dynamite in my boots."
Chad's Gap has only been cleared by a few snowboarders, including Travis Rice and Romain De Marchi , who completed a backside 540, switch backside 540, cab 720, a backside rodeo 720, as well as a backside 180 no grab in the snowboarding video "Pop - Absinthe". It was also cleared on snowblades in the winter of 2005, which created much respect and support within the ski industry for the upcoming sport of snowblading.
The secret location of the gap is a topic of hot debate. Most scholars now believe that it is located in the Wasatch range in Utah, in close proximity to the Alta ski resort. There are many conflicting theories regarding how to get to Chads from the bottom of Alta.
can i just clarify...we all know how to get to chads now? thank heavens. what was the deal, as a one time filmer out there i can tell you i was itching to tell y'all how simple it was! alta huh WTF!?
