I know theres no snow right now, but come late March / early April I'm putting together a crew of nsers and we're gonna build a kicker and hit this bad boy.
Yes the biggest jump I've ever hit is like 40 ft and yes I'm bad at skiing but it's my last year on my parents health insurance and I upped my life insurance policy so if I'm gonna die now is the time.
Who all's coming with?
JAHnYou have no clue.You can’t just go and hit Chad’s.
I mean the conditions have to be perfect. There’s a reason it hasn’t been hit in 4 years, even by the pros.
You have to deal with the local crews who are territorial.
You have to have some damn good jump building expertise and put in at least 3 full days just to build the jump.
You have to realize that coming up short may very well break your back.
And this is off the top of my head. I’m sure a Utah local could give you an even bigger list of reasons.
And besides…Ski Patrol blew it up.
But he built different so he’s gtg 😈
CalumSKIU should try for the rebate on ur famous switch skiing. I think chads is probs safer than the switch pond skim
Is there a video of this infamous switch skim?
QuaggyI've got room for 2 more on my way from Oregon. I'll go an hour "off path" to pick up fellow NewSchoolers on the way there... Gimme a date OP
If it’s end of March I’m in

even if he manages to build it there is no way he actually hits it if he's only hit a 40ft jump before
he'll ski down and stop immediately before the launch every time
HammyslapwagonsWould be a cool meetup at the very least. Give me a date OP, and I'll be there.

I can't give a date until we know what conditions are. Won't be until the second half of march at the earliest.
Man. You've been here longer then me. You shouldn't have been scared. I remember seeing Chad's gap on that Helly Hansen"the bolero project ". And I was like oh shit yeah. When I was young I wanted to hit it so bad
danbrowni remember following that thread in my parents computer room as a kid but I was too scared to post in it

yeah helly hansen gave out a free dvd called Happy Happy with freeze or powder and the only way to view the bolero project was if you typed in the year helly hansen was founded. good shit
hoodratz47That Jamie Pierre. Lawn dart. Legendary
I'm 95% sure none of those lawn darts are Jamie and I am 100% sure the one off the Glory Hole cliff at Alta is not. I can't remember is full name, but it was Rob something.
Also claim, I helped build the gap a 7:28.
Finally, the gap at 8:45 is Leviathan, and somebody needs to hit it again. That shot was the closest anyone (Pierre Yves-Leblanc) ever came to landing it and they had to quick clip it.
The lack of tranny on the kicker would compress my entire body good god

Leviathan is a bridge too far for me, I'm still kinda confused about the math on clearing that one
I grew up hiking in that area all the time and it took me like 10 years to figure out where it was because i couldn’t comprehend that the take-off was that far from the landing. The scale doesn’t even fit in your vision when you’re looking at the hillside.
