Not my video, but saw this and had to share. Extra points for the throwback Salomon 1080s.

idek what a helmet would do at that point. I’m sure there’s actual reasons he should wear a helmet but I’d be more worried about whiplash on my neck and stuff

Word around the block is that nasa is going to use this booter to send satellites into low earth orbit.

I think he sticks it with some full mechanical knee braces

1080's, long poles, no helmet, frosted tips, massive hucks. What year is this?

Also he 100% shook his brain on that last hit.

2004 Salomon 1080 Pocket Rocket with OG S912 bindings. The perfect setup for hucking a quad.

As long as he is doing it for himself and not just for the social aspect I respect the absolute hell out of it.

I don't want to influence anybody to make iffy decisions but I don't want to make them hold back either

The first Quad backflip landed was Steve Corbett in 1975, so definitely not the first.

YOU ARE ALL FUCKING IDIOTS.

Skierman has brain damage confirmed.

Here are some studies that show helmets do reduce the risk of concussions and other head injuries in skiing:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2987604/
https://www.jstor.org/stable/20486536
https://www.bmj.com/content/330/7486/281.full.pdf+html
https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/44/11/781.abstract
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/202421

And even if they don't reduce the risk of concussion (which they do), they can still reduce the risk of your head being cracked open if you smash into a rock or tree.
