My days of charging are becoming numbered... (I'm getting old). I want a big box tick for my skiing and I've been thinking about air jordan. Did corbets this year (zzz I know I know) and thinking of upping the ante significantly by attempting AJ this January if there is enough snow.

BUT

I haven't dropped any cliffs before... at all... like maybe one.

I can ski. very well.

Can you 'train' for it? Im in Whistler for two weeks. Enough time to build up to AJ? or am I D E A D? who wants to film me rag dolling?

yew!

(I'm guessing I'll get maybe just one actual helpful response on this)

If the alpine even opens in time.

Whistler hasn’t even gotten 2 feet of snow yet and I don’t mean 2 feet in night, I mean less than 2 feet in total.

Stuck in Australia mate :( You'll be the first guy to know when im giving it a crack so you can come and film my rag dolling death.



Hope you guys are having a good season over there. sucks to not be able to come. COVID don't ski...



And yeah - for Jan 2020 when I was there - I didnt do it. I've let you and myself down and feel terrible. I am sorry.

They hadn't opened peak chair all season until 3 days before we left. I didnt see anyone hit AJ (im sure someone would have though) and only a couple hit the waterfalls but it would have been a full Jerry yard sale if I had given it a crack... cover wasnt great.

Hopefully 2022 its a big year and I hold the yard sale then... and you're all invited! yew!

Been practicing cliff drops? Do it as much as possible in the meantime. Landing them can be tricky and it usually doesn't really matter but the thing about air Jordan is that you really do have to stick the first one
