why not?

PS an interesting thread there!

[tommy]

cus its huge so would you be able to get the speed and be able to land on skiboards?

[McShane]

why not?

[bailey]

impossible

[McShane]

but why? :P

if you have a good enough push, the rest is a history-to-be

[tommy]

well someone try it and then email me from the hospital telling me about there broken bones.

its a 120 foot gap... pro skiers and snowboarders have trouble with it.. a skiboarder hitting it would be absolute suicide

[Bentfilms]

impossible, there isnt enough room for speed, i've seen skiers die because they get speed wobble just on the speed for the inrun, skiboards or a ski under 140 is impossible

someone fly me over to america and provide me with a snowmobile to tow me and i'll do it, no problem...

(just kidding by the way...but if you do want to fly me over to america feel free!)

While you're all considering the possibility...

Enjoy this thread and consider the risks...

chad's gap is impossible for everyone one earth but Candide Thovex...

Impossible for skiboarders of course... you'll never get enough speed on skiboards with this kind of backountry of backcountry "powdery" slopes...

[McShane]

i still deem it's possible, technically!!! not that i personally could do it with no blink, but there is no objective reasons why it should not be possible. physics allow it!

this picture is explosive on that website. I saw a lot of people start respecting the "bladers" from this pic... i hope this guy actually pulled it off because it really opens a new chance for skiboarders to take backcountry by storm. Some photos in ski and skiing magazine would be nice of us jumping some 100 ft cliffs.
