Tanner Hall hitting chads gap switch was more impressive than that imo. And I mean just skiing the actual in run of chads not the jump portion.

But hey pretty cool new world record I suppose.

Bombing river run at keystone, or the trail after the park all the way to the bottom seems about that same size/steepness.
