Leviathan Gap - Heres a Video

Too many threads have been made about this thing, so i tracked down a copy of Tee Time (Kriss Ostness, the guy who recently made TBC) from about 5 years ago. I made a couple of videos for you all. The first is Leviathan Gap itself. Supposedly, its around 150-155, and to me, it definently looks like it. Unsure of the skier however.

I thought you all might want to see some more, so I made clipped the crash segment of the movie and uploaded it here:

The music is by Abba Teens - Mamma Mia
Sorry about the quality, I know it sucks, but its the best I could get. This video has some other cool stuff, like Chris Collins tripple backflip attempt on pyramid, Candides crashes on Chads and some other crazy stuff, including side by side triple backflips. Check out TBC to see some of these gaps 5 years later. Anyways, hope this clears some of the confusion.

Haha, I have to add this:

The best crash I've probably seen was that snowboarder about halfway through the crash video. He goes off sideways on the step-up, and you can see him skim the snow with his hand while hes inverted, then impacts the wall. Hahaha, I've been watching it over and over and its still funny.

Too bad Ostness didn't get the respect he deserved back then ...long live Wind-Up Films... wish he was gonna make a movie this year. He was always pushing the backcountry so that every other ski and snowboard film had to be better.

"Last season WindUp Films (a Kris Ostness company) released its first ski and snowboard film “Clay Pigeons.” Largely freestyle oriented, WUF specializes in pioneering new moto-style terrain feature gaps such as the highly publicized 90 foot "Pyramid Gap" and 120 foot “Chad's Gap” in the Utah backcountry. This year’s film, "Tee Time," continues the WUF art driven, ski/snowboard, eclectic soundtrack, offbeat, very large shooting style. The crew returns to front flip and double back flip "Chad's" and "Pyramid" gap. New gap projects such as "Leviathan" and "Flagstaff Gully" measure 145 + feet and 90+ feet respectively. Backcountry kickers, tree gaps, 25 + foot step ups and the Sarlacc pit awaits you. Filmed in 16mm and super-8, color and black&white in Utah, Oregon, Canada, Sweden and Norway. Sponsored by Helly Hansen, LINE skis, Scott USA and Da Kine. Featuring Chris Collins, Jamie Pierre, Pierre LaBlanc, Eric Pollard, Skogen Sprang, Jon Olson, Kris Ostness and many guest appearances."

Candide has two huge crashes on Chads, straight airs... As for the other ones, I'm pretty sure most are the Collins brothers, but the others are probably old-school-new-schoolers that have been lost to time.

AS for uploading the video, someone give me a site I can upload a 25meg video and its yours.

Na, people just more control so you think that things are chill. Think about the Jon Olloson invitational or something like that, thinigs are still really narly we just know what we're doing now instead of hucking our carcass and hoping everything works out.
