so has anyone ever tried to hit these? i remember seeing a short clip on TV of some dude that hit the first one, and went super back seat on it. i think i remember him loosing his goggles on top of it. anyway I think the upper one is doable, though probably next year...

sry but i don't see what's so dangerous about the front one. is it higher up then it looks in the pic? i mean all you have to do is pop of the cliff and tap it. am i missing something here?

first one is very do-able, second looks pretty sketch.  We eyed these up in early march, kept moving though.  Man there is some fun stuff up around there, can't wait to get the sleds out again!
