Just had a look from 1 min 38, it does look like that yeah.. But I'm pretty sure that's one of the people who were on standby, in the red jacket, digging away at the snow to get to him maybe?

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

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:

Hey 4ever Ofc, welcome to J2Ski :-)

I also look for the same performance from my skis- A ski which can do a bit of everywhere.
If it was me buying new skis I'd definitely be buying a pair of Salomon Lord skis. I've been wanting a set of those for a long time and each year they've maintained their reputation as an awesome all mountain ski, winning ski of the year;

23 days and counting! :D

A very simple binding test is to attach one of the boots to a ski binding while wearing the boots and attempt to kick your boot, with the other foot, out of the attached ski binding. You can judge roughly how tight/loose you have your din setting on.

I ski on 7 - sometimes 8, depends what i'm doing :-)

Thanks for the word Jan! Just checked it out- Looks amazing!! I really can't wait to be out there.. 41 days until i'm in Söll and 35 days until i'm in Niederau :mrgreen:

If I were to own magic skis what would I want from them..

I would want an 'anti-gravity' switch on them somewhere, where you can float at any given time- would be rather handy for throwing yourself off some huge kicker and not having to worry about hurting yourself!

Could also be useful for beating life queues- provided not everybody owned these skis of course!
