No Snowb4ndit, there mad alright and have the certificates to prove it. Most people would at least wear a parachute :lol:
I just love the gravitational pull

You're right snowb4ndit, that looks like a stem turn about 10 seconds in - the insane nutter! :mrgreen: A jump turn would have been a better option surely?

Insane indeed.. However I remember reading up about this type of skiing, or any type of fall from that height- It proved that you can fall from an unlimited height and fall at an unlimited speed and survive, provided you land on a specific slope gradiant..

Still doesn't mean I'd put my own life at risk like that though! :lol:

At least they don't cut, and edit to make it look as if he is skiing away from the landings.
because I'm so inclined .....

That is true, although other people seem to think you can't call it a a cliff drop or extreme skiing until you've landed and rode away from it- I am certainly not one of those people- It takes a lot to even look down from one of those cliffs.. Never mind skiing off one!

For the rush.. Makes good entertainment too! :D

Just watched this video again and at 1 min 38 it certainly looks like Jamie is in a bit of discomfort...It also looks like he changed his jacket on the way down!!!
