I know theres no snow right now, but come late March / early April I'm putting together a crew of nsers and we're gonna build a kicker and hit this bad boy.

Yes the biggest jump I've ever hit is like 40 ft and yes I'm bad at skiing but it's my last year on my parents health insurance and I upped my life insurance policy so if I'm gonna die now is the time.

Who all's coming with?

Still gotta a couple years on the parents insurance but have no dependants so if I die its NBD. I'll see what my mental state is come March and let you know.

You have no clue.

You can’t just go and hit Chad’s.

I mean the conditions have to be perfect. There’s a reason it hasn’t been hit in 4 years, even by the pros.

You have to deal with the local crews who are territorial.

You have to have some damn good jump building expertise and put in at least 3 full days just to build the jump.

You have to realize that coming up short may very well break your back.

And this is off the top of my head. I’m sure a Utah local could give you an even bigger list of reasons.

And besides…Ski Patrol blew it up.

I'm aware of all these issues... That's why I made the thread now so I can plan and strategize.

I've hiked up there a few times this summer. It's absolutely fucked in person. I don't think footage does it any justice honestly.

I'm in. We should find someone with a radar gun, there's a NS article from a few years back that says we've gotta hit 53-54 mph to make it over https://www.newschoolers.com/search?s=the+story+of+chad%27s+gap+with+brent+benson

Just consider the fact that no snowboarder hit it until last year. Do you really think that you and your buddies are gonna just shovel a little booter, hike up there and jump it? Good luck.

Damn who called the fun police?

Imagine the look on the local crews face when 20 rando’s from NS show up with old GoPros requesting directions from Alta’s parking lot just to absolutely break themselves off.

NS right of passage. All dedicated NS’ers must read the OG Chad’s gap thread.

I hope OP can deliver once again in 2022.
