when I first saw that feature I thought they made it too big, after seeing the last few vids from guys sending it I think they should have made it bigger!!

Looks like he could have almost landed on the back landing, although that landing probably isnt steep enough.

anyone know how high the other skiers went? I wonder if anyone else went that high but not as big name = not as much publicity = just post Wise's record. I mean JPV was there, although perhaps he's still in orbit.

JPV, bonnaire, schenk and wise were all going for it... apparently DW was the highest.

Well if you got close enough to almost hit it at 45 feet you going to get eaten up by the deck anyway. Might as well have a proper medieval send off imo.

Little disjointed that nobody cleared the whole thing middle takeoff to deep landing. that would have been insane but the landing was probably not steep enough. Wise was basically at the end of the landing and with a few more feet could have gone straight and cleared it.


Before you kill me, I still think it was a dope ass event, core as fuck and congrats to wise
