Love the confidence to put his hands down the last 100 feet.

Would have been better if he did a blind 2 out.

doubt anyone breaks this for a while, simply because of the hassle of trying to make a rail that is longer than 440 feet. they should keep that rail and just keep adding 10 feet on every year and having him break the record over and over again

i like how he afterbanged the crap out of it once he knew he got to the end. the last 20 ft he had the "no big deal" stance.

If they are gonna add 10+ meters to the rail simen slid, its longer than the rail that tom slid.

I just really hope he had practically no edges. Imagine how bad it wouldve been, to be going that fast and catch an edge...

I doubt he wants to go through that again, he spent 4 days trying to get to the end.

RIP those line afterbangs they must have gotten trashed from heating up that much.

I love how at the end he just drops his arms and steezes the last 60 feet perfectly balanced.

Too bad he didn't lip on blind 2

Tom is an OG member of 4bi9. Does he remember what the "b" stands for?

Insane, what makes it so crazy is that rail is relatively flat. When Basti Rittig set the snowboard world record, the rail was so much steeper.
