Sorry if this has been posted before but I have never seen it until today.
For all I know it could be years old but a full minute slider down the alps must be some kind of record. 2000 vertical the hard way. Here is the link

Dude totally McGoverned it.
He managed to find a pretty sweet line in there and avoid most of the drops and rocks.
Catapulted down the whole face from top to bottom?
I like tomahawked better.
That's a pretty GNAR fall anywhichway though.
That guy bins it and still hits a better line than I could do.
If they gave out gold medals for backflips, they'd give him a platinum one.
Think it was all for the camera?
Not staged :rolleyes:
My friend Melodie is who is filming it - It is the Bec des Rosses in Verbier. She and her other half, Warren (the Guy that organises the verbier ride), were filming some local guys skiing it for their film. This guy was a 'local' ski instructor.
He got himself above a small ~6ft drop, wasn't too sure about it, but decided to drop it rather than take 12 steps up to have room to ski around it. Basically, he was out of depth, and made a REAL dumb decision to just give'er.
He ended up entirely shattering the femur. Dr's said it was only because he'd been skiing all season that his muscles were just strong enough to stop his leg simply tearing off from all the flailing around with no bones left in any big enough pieces to give any support....
The uncut version is worse, even though they are filming from a good few 100 metres away, you can hear him screaming when he finally stops before he passes out
McGovern woulda walked away laughing. Laughing, I tells ya.
On another note, I sorta object to this:
Which is literal and I'm sure correct (except the original doesn't talk about a particular line, it's more of a general "I'ma kill this shit!" kinda sentiment), but it's stilted.Quote:
"hé, regard à moi ! Je vais skier la merde hors de cette ligne !"
Maybe it should be more like,
"....Je vais tirer la MERDE hors de ca"
Which I'm sure has grammatical faults, but I'm looking for something you can yell.
