Watched it again and it's really hard to tell with some of the shots. I'm personally a bit skeptical of the wall of china one. I don't see how you could go that fast on stairs that wide and not crash

The more unbelievable thing in my opinion is that they allowed him to jib and scrape his skis all over an ancient wonder of the world. The idea that they could set up a winch and edit it out of the shot is not that far fetched by comparison.

i have to admit i was skeptical about them letting him ski on the Wall, but then countless tourists have been allowed on it so idk

anyway, functionally speaking i dont doubt that he did almost all of the shit shown... he's *really* good at skiing on stuff that isn't snow. here's some behind the scenes shot from the first one

In some of the shots I think they had snow on the takeoff so that he could get enough speed for the jump. The camera angle never showed the actual jump just him in the air and landing
