So yesterday I was doing hunting for some natural hits at my hill. The terrain park at my hill sits in a little creek bed and is surrounded by other runs on both sides. I noticed that there was about a 10 foot drop to the landing of the kicker line. I do a few speed checks for the tranny. The landing I was aiming for was that of 10 foot kicker so it didn't have a very steep landing. Dropping in I was scared shitless. I sailed over the edge so fucking fast I thought i was gonna die

It probably wasn't my best idea to go for that hit but it was fucking awesome. What ideas have you guys had that scared the shit out of you but turned out awesome?

I thought it would be cool to slide down hills on wooden sticks look at where we are now.

Found a really sick gap between two runs through the trees at my hill. One run sits about 5 feet higher than the other and there is about four feet of clearance between a light pole and a snowstick/trees.

I saw it from the chairlift, got off, bombed the run and just threaded the needle through the little gap at 35-40MPH. The distance between the runs is only like ten feet but I went about 30... Got whipped in the face by some branches and stomped it. It's so high-consequence, one foot to the left and I would be killed by the light pole, one foot to the right and I'd be in the trees. Big adrenaline rush... Makes the Midwest more exciting.

I was at Mount Bohemia this last weekend with 18061806 and I was on top of this glade with some pretty good sized cliffs coming down it. There were trees littered throughout the in and out run but I could see a line that looked decent. I asked my buddy how big the cliff was and if it i'd die after landing and he says "its only like 10 feet, jump pussy". So I skate into it jump between the trees and the second I'm in the air all I could think was "that fucker!" cliff was two-three times the size and Im rolling my windows down faster than a bat out of hell. I landed, threaded the needle between the trees on the out run and somehow didn't die. Looking back probably wasn't the best idea and should have checked it out better but it was so fun and worth it. @john18061806 - you suck

probably at jackson a couple weeks ago, there was this rock that had a lip on the far side, but if you took it faster you could pop the whole thing from the back. my buddy just rolled off it and it looked small and dumb, so i decided to hit it faster. ended up being way too fast and sailed a good 30 feet to flat to tomahawk

It's Mike Wilson from back in the day. Not anything recent, but easily the biggest attempt at Chad's of all time.
