Largest Skiing Gap

Hmm you might be right, that might be the straight biggest. I think the one mike Wilson got destroyed on was about that big but obv was unsuccessful. I'll keep thinking about it but in the meantime, anyone who hasn't seen this one is in for a treat

Leviathon Gap is definitely up there:

Here is the Mike Wilson gap. I think it was from Propaganda or Yearbook:

Maybe not the biggest but def a shoutout to JP Auclair's Chalet Gap:

(2:45)

Another honorable mention to Dumont:

@SuspiciousFish JP's chalet gap is still one of the dopest things I've ever seen. I remember seeing that and thinking skiing is the SHIT, they're literally using houses as takeoffs and landings, that's video game territory for any other sport

Mike Wilson's overshoot of Chad's Gap was fucked up (1:05 in the video). I bet he went close to 200ft on it since Chad's is about 120-125ft

Dat 5 :0

If we're talking about ober and undershoots dumonts def needs to be in there. Friggin like 2,000 feet on a 100 footer. Snowmobile tow ins are sketch.

ski.mnaicYeah the first vid in the playlist is the gap I mentioned in my previous comment

yeah sorry i didn't embed cause i was on mobile, and i worded it poorly so it wasn't super clear that i was just posting the one you had nominated

absolutely stupid pants-on-head crazy gap. i love how he has to wait for a while to hit it and is getting antsy, like "i need to do this soon before i think better of this idea" lmao

Dumont has easily gone the farthest on a gap, considering he was probably going about 50 mph when he took off he would have traveled around 245 feet before landing. I have the math below if you wanna fact check me...

How did I get the number 50mph?
I was able to check Sage's chads gap saying that he was going 40 mph seems about fair, after I converted it into ft/s which is 58.67. After this, I timed how long he was in the air. I calculated about 2.32 secs. Now we can figure this out, 58.67*2.32 equals 136.11 feet of total travel. We can assume this is about correct as he landed somewhat deep and the gap is around 120ish depending on where he lands.

Now moving onto Simons gap, we can assume that he was going faster as nobody had ever hit the gap before. Also since its a straight jump and not a step down like Chads he would want to be going faster. Now, this may be slightly off but that's what I'm going with. 50mph is 76.333 ft/sec. After timing his video 3 times the average was 3.21 secs in it from when he took off. After multiplying this can get 245.03 feet. Let me say that again 245.03 feet to FLAT. Even if I'm off by 20 feet he still easily has the farthest gap.

Now my math may be slightly off since I not calculating wind resistance or the angle of the jump/ landing, however, you can see the point. Simon Dumont is the King period.

I've noticed that people have been talking about jumps and not exclusively gaps, so I'd like to nominate Candide's big bertha and the 190 ft jump that Paddy Graham and Tom Ritsch hit in same difference.

Holy balls. Also lmao to the boarder sliding right in front at the end and then crashing into the fence 😂

A40 gap in life is a movie(zoot space) holy shit that’s probably one of the biggest gaps I’ve seen def highest consequence.
