Yes lame to put up your own pics. But I think this one of mine with my girl van_skier is pretty good.

From Feb 16th off Blackcomb in this thread.

^^ look closer he's coming off a rock and it's about a 15-20 foot hit.

**splat** · 04-01-2008, 06:59 PM

Mad props, flyby. That is siiiiiiick!

I didn't really think it was chopped, but the scale did remind me of that one I mentioned.

The skier, Pete Valesik, actually landed below the red circle in the above version. He was going pretty fast and almost took out Dave, who was shooting the photo from a different angle.

I've got some pretty sick vid of the same huck. I'll try and get all that stuff together one day and post it up.

Here's a link to the original thread where the photoshop thing is discussed.

Peter! Yeah, man. Skied Revelstoke with him during the grand opening.
Actually gave him my seat on the chopper so Heath could get some shots of him.
Dude works at skiing.

Hell ya. Pete KILLS it. He's definitely one of the best skiers I've had the pleasure to ski with. Super nice guy too. Same goes for Heath.

^ i was going to shop this in the manner of "hoverskier", but decided this thread should be left pure of shenanigans. this year = great show from the quality stoke assurance brigade.

thanks, everyone who took the time to take the picture. be you a professional or just one of us, or both.

**powder11** · 04-01-2008, 08:57 PM

this one is the best by far

The more I look at the picture the less I like it. The light on the skier fucks with the depth perception and makes it look chopped. Everytime I look at it I start dissecting it because it doesn't look real to my eye. I suppose that's the appeal for others.

**DEEZ** · 04-01-2008, 10:42 PM

Jared's hits off boss hogg are just dirty! Those hit close to home just because I've experienced that hit first hand and cant imagine what the cat track looks like as I lawn darted over it.

Well, fuck. Now that I read the thread and see Dave's red Osprey pack, I just have one question - How was the the throw-down drunk after you guys made it to the bar?
