The guys are wearing harnesses. It’s hard to see but they are there. :04 and :055. It’s unlikely the filming company or the tower would allow people to take that umcalculated risk and face the negative media.

100mph on skiis.

[ame][http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaZI-3rlrbc[/ame]](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaZI-3rlrbc%5B/ame%5D)

its not as hard as you would think. There is a run at whiteface, Lower Cloud Spin. you come onto it from the Connector trail. at the top of it stand there at the top of the hill where everyone seems to stand and wait on the little flat spot, drop in and straight run it, veer to skiiers right you pull a some srs G’s at the bottom and on a GPS we topped 80+mph. Last year my brother and my fahter took a trip out west and skiied with a good buddy of theirs that lives out there. In one of the bowls they straightlined it with GPS, he hit 100MPH+ befor, we have a pic of one run where he hit high 90’s. Keep in mind your on fresh snow, not groomed!

shits no joke!!!

back in 2007. There was some serious math involved and engineering that went into making that quarter pipe. Lasers, computers, data aquasition on riders. crazy.

Go stand on the edge of a 3 story parking garage and look out over the edge. The ground you see is the DECK of the quarter pipe, IE dont pop enough off the lip and your hitting that on re-entry. Now go up 2 more leverls to 5 and look out. thats the height off the level ground. the pipe it self is 20+ foot tall to coping. 60 feet or so off the ground at the peak of those 2 jumps!

2nd vid there, epic. that would be something I’d want to do now let alone write it on the bucket list.

I wonder what kind of clearance he has. I’ve watched so many of his videos and know his flight experience, but it still has to require some string-pulling.
