I'm an 18 year old guy from belgium that goes on skiing vacation with family one week a year. When I will live more independetly as I get older I will be able to take the plane to skiing area's more often to practice and be able to hit pyramid gap. But as for now, I can only do backflips and 360's on large park jumps

What do you think?

so you are basicly telling me that I won't make it? that it's impossible for an amateur like me to reach this goal, only for the pros

Don't be dumb about it, but it definitely would be quite the accomplishment. I say go for it.

I know people who have done it. It's pretty big, but if you really want to do it, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to

Out of curiosity, why did you hit it in such sketchy conditions? Ballsy.

I must say I agree with this. Looking at the vid he has very little speed and when you first see it you think there is no way he will clear it. I'm guessing there is a pretty big height difference which is not obvious from the pOv. So yeah certainly ballsy but get the speed and it actually looks a pretty easy gap. Still need the balls though and this is where most come up short.

English not your first language? What he meant is that you are likely to eat shit and die before you get old.
