    Wow. Just wow.

    That's pretty rough. Looks like he bounced off the rocks a few times...

    that sends chills down my spine
    I can't believe you are a rando racer because I look so much better in Lycra than you.

    I doubt that that was from a big mtn. comp, Where was his bib? Why was he wearing a heavy pack? No other tracks at all in the area?
    I bet they were filming... who was that?

    At least he was alive at the end of it. One of the worst crashes, Why the hell was he going so fast to start out on that kinda terrain? Was this in a competion? Very scary + vibes to the recovery.

    No bueno.

    At least he happened to hit the one spot with snow on it for that last bounce. Could have been a lot worse if that drop had been directly to rock.

    Exactly, he fell about 80ft after the second rock shot and hit snow...what luck.

    Jesus, that makes my stomach turn. He probably figured he was done when he went over the top. That tomahawk would have been terrifying...

    Anyone know how he is doing?

    Ouch. That was the worst crash I have seen on film. He was close to starring in faces of death.

    Kind of surreal the first time when you haven't seen the whole thing, but it is literally making me nauseous to watch that repeatedly.

    That is one of the worst, and he's OK crashes I've ever seen.

    formerly an ambassador for a few others, but the ski industry is... interesting.
    Fukt: a very small amount of snow.
