Thread: New world record cliff drop

Somebody this very day, in this very thread, could be vying for the record for "dumbest tgr post ever" and not even know it, but he'll still get it. Ya know?

HA! Flawless logic. Same with Robert Wadlow...he didn't try to be almost 9' tall, but he still got the record. I have been trying to beat that record on purpose, but I can't. Norway in the HOUSE!

If I was driving my rocket car really fast one day, but not looking to break a land speed record, hit 1600mph and someone clocked it, would that too not be a record?

I'm guessing at some point during Norway Dudes huck, Jesus was thought of, mentioned or called upon.

reminds me of that Office episode when Michael Scott declares bankruptcy.

This thread is useless without pics.

You seem like an honest sort, so sure! How was it, by the way?

see powdork gets it, at least there's one smart person on the board.

Who is the authority on world record cliff hucks? What would Guiness do?

i thought it was going to be firm, but landing on a pile of baby jeebuses made it feel like a box of watermelon.

So, how can it be that no pictures have surfaced of this......

The dude is a pro skier, I searched and found his myspace and facebook type thing.....surely he is going to post any pictures there are.

How fast was the treadmill moving?

Cause it's the best troll ever. And thats a record cause it was intentional

Air hostess Vesna Vulovic, of Yugoslavia, fell 33,330 feet into a snowbound forest in Serbska Kamenice, Czechoslovakia on January 26, 1972 when the DC-9 airliner she was on exploded. She survived.

hehe, this thread has everything...terminal velocity, piss contests, world records and to top it of someone mentions my city in the middle of nowhere in fucking Czech Republic...actually the air wreck is still there in the middle of woods...

I know, this thread blew up quick. I checked a couple of days ago and it was only at 1-2 pages.

ND gets the record, IMO. But, hey what do I know I'm a snowboarder!
On a related matter: Vesna Vulović (Serbian: Весна Вуловић) (born 3 January 1950) holds the Guinness Book of Records world record for surviving the highest fall without a parachute: 10,160 meters (33,316 feet). Pretty sure this chick did not set out to break this record when she went to work that day, but it is still A WORLD RECORD!

need video...

Googling leads to this video of Fred being carried over a 10-meter drop by an avalanche. It'll have to do until the real thing emerges.


And another with helmetcam of Fred jumping off stuff in Chamonix.


I'd vote for this as being a new world record. Arguing about intent is lame; kind of like the "intentional foul" rule in basketball, the refs should just judge what happened, not what the guy meant to happen.

I completely agree, intent means shit. ND d00d skied off a 100m cliff and survived (with apparently a fuck of a lot more steeze than JP - not that it really matters); that's a worlds' record regardless of intent.

I'm pretty sure several of the Guinness records were set without intent..

Hey JP - Jeebus is callin!!!

Dude - no way. Really?

Did you NOT see the quote 2 posts before yours? Did you NOT see the nearly exact same post by BJ Stoker a page ago?

this shit is hilarious.

my vote- show proof and its a record.

That helmetcam footage is SICK! He's not skiing slow, and hucking some pretty decent sized stuff onto some unsoft snow. Doesn't even seem to compress on landing. I'm pretty sure the guy is a ski robot, the doctors should check for a chrome exoskeleton.

I'd fuck her.

Wait; what thread am I in again?

If it wasn't done on purpose he SHOULD NOT claim anything except that he is a lucky MF.

After watching the helm-cam one can easily imagine how he got himself in this predicament


Edit: I would fuck her too.
