NBCskierthat was at snoqualime. some kid on mushies bombed the top part of the park to boost some 30ft table top. landed at the base of the next kicker like 150ft past the landing. his heart ripped out of all the connective arteries and what not. saw ski patrol working on him while riding the lift. it was gnar.
Idk about that but he went long af and was quadro. Real bad situation. I believe it may have been foggy, this was before drop in fences, and he did your typical straight tuck in send. Sucks. Really almost changed parks forever. I mean it had a huge impact but almost brought engineers in to the point you couldn't build a jump without approval from some engineer that doesn't even ski. Would have sucked.
Ryanvdonkthat kinda sounds like the guy at snoqualmie who the whole jump liability thing started with. had hit the jump on a slow day and knuckled, went in for a break, came back out for night riding when it iced over and straight-lined from the top into it. overshot the landing by like 40 feet and got paralyzed in the crash. sued the mountain for compensation.
Yeah the medical bills unfortunately dictate some of these. Really your only option whether you believe in it or not. American health care system is shit.
I dont think there's anyway you could case a jump znd then go faster and go that long. I think dude just went full send off it. Maybe speed checked a bunch and rolled off it once and then send it. But the slowest to fastest day cant make up close to how far he went.
I mean technically maybe it can, but I doubt it's why it happened.
