It might be a dodgy link since I'm on my phone, I'll try and fix it. Oh damn, can't seem to find the video anymore. I'll post it again when I get a hold of it.

nevermind man, I just went on spotflux and watched it but shit, how international is FIS holding comps in switzerland and not letting locals watch it? :D

After watching it i feel so stupid to have skied there 6 days ago, seeing the posters and all and not going to the event, even though it may not have linked up with school, I didn't even think to go.

And yeah, thats the course I saw in the making, it looked on point and conditions back there arent too bad, apart from the luck with the weather the guys had.

Well I missed this one, but watch for me photobombing every shot in the 9knights video I can get into next weekend :D

I haven't found and watched the full thing yet but I watched this highlight video and holy shit! This is great, thanks for bringing it to my attention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_dJI1JYN8M

On that note I also saw a trailer recently, think a Swiss or French production, of skiers literally skiing at least an 80° mountain face, do you happen to know which one I'm talking about?

This is highly incoherent.

Also to OP, what big air in Tignes are you referring to?

I'm alright, thanks.

What is a flat lip? And do jumps not always tend to have a landing?

Oh my bad ye, I meant to say Val D'isere, the two are almost right next to each other. I do most of my skiing there, silly mistake.

my bad, I be forgetting commas.

It was supposed to be "flat, lip to landing", as in you have to fly maybe 40 metres to land without death.
