You wanna know what it feels like to hit pyramid gap?

It's fucking scary. The inrun was probably the sketchiest part. Shortly after this a friend washed out on the compression and blew up all over the place. He sprained is ankle and is done skiing for the remainder of the season. It really put into perspective how gnarly some of the shit you see in the movies is.

so much respect for you, could you upload the video with sound? would be great to hear imo, and the landing, never seen a pov for a jump that big.

Mad props to you bro.

Is that in video slo-mo, or real time?

the jump's in run is never really that bad, you guys just hit it at the worst possible time during the worst snow season... i'd like to see that clip again but without the slow-mo...

i'm surprised none of you got more severely fucked up. straight up dumb to try pyramid this year.

Oh...
Well that makes airtime about 2 seconds. Compare that to X Games where they get around 2.5 seconds of airtime.

Still impressive, but not nearly as much air time as I thought.

Haha, it's funny people have to ask, because there's no way you can get several seconds of airtime. 3 seconds is already SUPER long.

Mad props man, you got some huge balls... I gotta say, I didn't think you were going to make it.
