This thread got me thinking of a clip i havent seen for 2 years,

A dude from sweden made this after Jon Olsson put the Kangaroo flip to his feet the first time back in 2007, In the end it says "HOW ABOUT THAT, JON OLSSON" HAHA

Still think that this is the biggest back I have ever seen attempted.  Wilson's was huge, but I think this dude had more hang time.

Jamie Pierre is about the biggest toolbag ever, couldn't have been happier that his big-ass cliff drop was 1, illegit since he landed on his head, and 2 beaten already.

I saw this thread, and all I thought about was Julian Carr at the FWT at Snowbird. That was so ridiculous. Glad someone just posted it, I'm pretty sure it was measured at 140 feet.

This was at the FWT in 2006 i think. It was out of the venue, so he was disqualified, but with 2,000 people or so at the bottom, was pretty ridiculous.

That guy is fucking insane. Most of those flips he didn't even try to put to his feet. Landing on your head is way steezier

lol he wasnt trying to backflip...

and i watched a couple of my frineds drop a 55-760 foot cliff they all ate shit but then these 2 guys came and stomped backflips off it.

Ive never seen anything more gnarly in my life (i watched ian cosco do a switch dub 1440 in my face yesterday and it was nothing in comparison) the guys were pro big liners i forget their names but my face literally melted when i saw him do it there will probably be a video of it poping up someday soon
