Its intense...lands on his neck but ski's away. Hes the guy that first hit Chads (or pyramid) gap and to backflip it. The guy actually grew up a block from my house! WOOT!

The jeebus blather followed by hucking off a 255ft cliff w/o a helmet or flak jacket neutered it.

I watched it without sound.

Jeebus is my helmet/flak jacket.

I believe his jump was featured in last year's Warren Miller film. He was at the film this year at the State theater back in Oct...some pretty footage of him was taken for this year's movie as well.

Jeebus built my full suspension 29er.

Do you have to live to hold the record? Cause if I'm like 90 and ready to die I think I might just launch off a 500 footer just to hold the record. I'm cynical but that just looked like someone falling off a tall cliff. Maybe I'm missing the nuances of it all.

What would Jeebus drive?

A squishy 29er, is that what you're implying? Not muley enough IMO.

Excellent question. He's like the Josh Bender of skiing as the skis are nothing more than accessories to auger one's self with.

I mean, c'mon, why does it even count if he doesn't land it? And by "landing" I'm thinking on his skis, not flat on his back.

Those steep powder turns are sweet though.

He'd ride one of those 56# "mountain bikes" from Wal-Mart with a sweet kickstand and loose reflectors.

I totally agree. Don't get me wrong, he has huge nuts, but in the vid about Chad's gap, he brags about stomping a back flip the first day. If by stomp he means landing flat on his back, well, then I guess he did. If you want to see someone truely stomp Chad's, watch Travis Rice, this guy is just sick.

In other extreme sports this is some of the sickest stuff I've seen in awhile (first video):

With cliff's those size, you have to land on your back or your legs will literally blow up. He was aiming to land on his back on this drop but over "spun" it and landed more on his neck.
