That was SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKK!! !!!!!!!!!!!
I mean really truly sick...caw caw caw!
yep, Mikey's a rock star. 120 ft acid heli-drops and he used to date Victoria.
I'm always amazed that he takes most of his own shots. I didn't even know a camera remote could work from that far away. That heli-shot has been around since at least last season, but people seem to be discovering it this year, and I'm always happy to see it again. One of my favorites.
I dig this one too.

I still can't figure out how he got up there.

The bar has been re-set.
Cody, it's time to play catch up. :eek: :D
That was an awesome thumb tack, and as we say in the East, "That was fricken balls!" :eek:
Well, that was nuts.
That's obscene.
pffft, he didn't stick it.
Switch. And ride it into the road. :rolleyes: :biggrin:Quote:

i just dropped something in my shorts and it wasn't acid :eek:

That drop is pretty high on the list of things that deserve a :fm:
Damn.
Pretty cool that he still has the presence of mind to snap the pics when he's falling from that high up.
yeah, timer or remote?
so he gets the heli to drop him on one peak, he sets up the cam, and then the heli picks him off the peak again, he jumps out, rides down, heli picks him again, goes and gets the cam. thats a lot effort. wicked pissah shot though.
Mikey B. representin'! I guess you get good when your sister is one of the first female super-pros.

He used to be condsidered just a young punk with huge balls that went big. Cool to see him producing such cool and creative stuff...and showing that he is as crazy as ever.
P.S. Everyone knows Mike hates woodworking. He would never buy my router.
pfffffft. useless dickhead.Quote:

good point, however you are not taking into consideration the pull my hawk Thelonious has with helo operators. we'll get you're seat for free, and you get the router. trust me, it will work out. call me.Quote:

His whole self portrait concept is cool too! Not only does he not have to deal with snobby photogs but he gets double paid…one payment for the use of the image and one payment from sponsors for photo incentive. He don’t need no stinkin’ photog! :)
As for the acid drop. Its siiiick! But I would have like to see him go smaller to avoid the arm flap and sloppy landing. Either way…still siiiick!
Rock on Mikey B.
Yes, those ski and snowboard photographers are so snobby and make way too much money.Quote:

that's one stable snowpack there folks
Possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen here... both the drop AND that he shoots it himself.
Really creative.
CAW! CAW!! CAW!!!
Wow...you're really good at that.Quote:

Yeah, All those folks who were blabbing about snowboarders not going big can now go drink a big frothy glass of shut the fuck up.
