That was pretty cool.
Blurred, why don't you come to Europe for a winter? Aside from a lack of sled skiing, the place would suit you.

Not long for this world. Looked like a pretty retarded stunt in my eyes.

you can die doing that, lucky and blessed
I need to go to Utah.
Utah?
Yeah, Utah. It's wedged in between Wyoming and Nevada. You've seen pictures of it, right?
So after 15 years we finally made it to Utah.....
Thanks BCSAR and POWMOW Ski Patrol for rescues

The non-POV clip at the end makes it a lot more impressive. I thought he just threw a front flip before I saw that. Lucky bastard.
I have to say, though, that getting heli-ed up, then straigtlining 50 yards off a cliff is a little contrived, in my opinion. I mean, why not just jump out of the heli from near the summit? Same difference, for the most part.

Would have been much cooler if he skied off, dumped skis then wing suited down north face!

A half hour with a shovel (or just waiting for more favorable conditions) would have made the difference between a retarded stunt where pretty much only luck saved his ass, and a badass but fairly safe skibase that could probably be repeated countless times without an issue.
It even looks like if he'd taken a left turn 10 feet before takeoff he could have launched off of snow, but instead he wants to use rocks as a takeoff.
Not my life though, so what do I care? Hope to see some more entertaining vids from him before he dies.__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ________________

taking a helicopter to the top of the matterhorn instead of climbing it--not cool

Looks like he was getting that sketch uneasy 2nd thoughts feeling before the helicopter even took off. Then again who wouldn't!? considering his plan for the day.... Really lucky though.
