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


I think I would rather see a bloody mess at the bottom of the cliff, it might teach them a lesson :shock:

it was a world record jump but it was broken by a guy doing a powder field somewhere on film-i cant remember when or why i saw it but he was skiing away and the heli was filming but he went off course and skied towards the edge-you can hear the guys in the chopper shouting "a gauche, a gauche" (sorry for bad french spelling) and then he disappears off the edge but as the chopper flies round hes just a bit buried after somethign like a 300ft fall! mental-its why im glad i didnt grow up in the mountains because these people clearly are bored doing "normal stuff" that i find great!

Rossyhead, it's Fred Syversen that you are thinking of, and his 107 metre cliff jump in Chamonix 8)
