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?

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

I hope OP can deliver once again in 2022.


Lmao, hadn't seen the thread in forever.

JAHnYou 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.


But he built different so he’s gtg 😈

Dear fuck. So. That's not Impossible. But if you came up short. You'd be dropping out of the sky so far.... Also the landing ( the real take off) would be a pocket tranny

even if he manages to build it there is no way he actually hits it if he's only hit a 40ft jump before

he'll ski down and stop immediately before the launch every time

I'm 95% sure none of those lawn darts are Jamie and I am 100% sure the one off the Glory Hole cliff at Alta is not. I can't remember is full name, but it was Rob something.

Also claim, I helped build the gap a 7:28.

Finally, the gap at 8:45 is Leviathan, and somebody needs to hit it again. That shot was the closest anyone (Pierre Yves-Leblanc) ever came to landing it and they had to quick clip it.

I grew up hiking in that area all the time and it took me like 10 years to figure out where it was because i couldn’t comprehend that the take-off was that far from the landing. The scale doesn’t even fit in your vision when you’re looking at the hillside.
