Looks like edge on his right ski caught and straightened him out and then the rail hit him right between the bones

I'm convinced that this is basically as good as it could have gone. If he went fast enough to clear the knuckle, that landing would have disappeared before he hit the ground. Such short, steep landing for such a long flat jump, smh

This one always takes the cake. I remember seeing this at the Cordoroy premier back in 2006. Probably the worst crash in the history of Park skiing and he almost died. From what I remember the impact literally dislodged his heart and almost tore out his Aorta.

Basically what happened was they built the jump but the hill was too small to get enough speed so they took snowmobiles and towed the skiers in over the top of the hill. Derek was the first to go but the sled didnt go fast enough.

Cordoroy is still a classic mid 2000s movie. It had a pretty stacked group of riders in their youth and some pretty insane stuff. Definitely miss the vibe of these older films.

Here is the trailer:

2 of 3 layers of his aorta ripped off so yeah, pretty close to death. Much more gnarly than the pussy shit the OP posted.




Waaahhh I hit my shin on a rail! wahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Jump building has thankfully come a long way. It looks like that lip is almost level with the landing.

That line at 1:06 is gnar. Also, I like how there is a shot of Mike Wilson hitting the same, sketchy jump.

Thats the crazy thing about it. Derek was first to guinea pig it and undershot and almost died. Then once they cleared him off they set the snomobiles to a few more mph and did a full session on the jump the rest of the day.

Audio on all these clips hits straight to the soul.

Sidenote: as dumb as that jump might have been, Rage Films was the shit - someone needs to be an MVP and upload some of their classics. Regret losing my DVD collection, went to several of their premieres back in the day too.

Yo that’s at my local. It looks like he had to bomb it from the top of the run and I’ve bombed it before and hit 50 or 60 mph on slush so he must have been going stupid fast

if i'm associating this anecdote with the right jump, i believe i am, i remember them joking that they were in the air on the inrun equally often as they were touching the ground lmao

I had a hyperextension injury similar to warnicks a few years ago, I came really close to puking/passing out on the way to the hospital and then couldn't put weight on my leg for three months.

Watching these videos has got me tense.
