My roommate showed me this website set up to promote some aussie skier. Anyways this guy jumps through a helicopter while its hovering above this table. I'm not even sure if it's real but maybe some of you can decipher for yourselves.

if that is real, that guy is a fucking retard. actually, the rest of that site makes it clear that guy is a retard, and that jump makes it clear he is a total fucking retard. i hope he had his harness on when he did that.

Well, in the trailer that is supposedly all Scott Stone, there is footage of McConkey double-fronting the Eiger, Rob Holmes lawn-dart-to-face-plant off a 100 foot wall, Seth (I think) flipping cliffs, and other skiers too. You can draw your own conclusion from that. Also, I don't think it's likely that, even if there were a skier stupid enough to jump through a heli, there would also be a mountain with management stupid enough to let him, and a heli pilot stupid enough to set it up for him, and a camera man stupid enough to film it all. But maybe I'm wrong.

That is a spoof but a damn good one. If you watch the trailer you will see that it is an ad telling people to turn off their cell phones in the theater. Well done. Love the sound effects on the videos. The video editing on the helicopter shot is pretty damn good. They have three angles and it looks real.
You have to love Andrew the ski tech guy's tips.

Ya go to the movies and right after the previews and before the film you'll see Scott Stone to get people to turn off their head clamps.

A dead give away that this is fake (as if it isn't obvious) is that the skier doesn't even really tuck his legs up. He's wide open in the air, and if he actually were jumping through the heli, he probably would have scraped his helmet and bases. Still, skillful editing.

Ok . . . so apparently this guy is JT Holmes, Seth, Shane, Mike Wilson, JP Auclair, Ingrid Backstrom all wrapped into one. I'm very confused. Whats the story behind this site?

The dead give away is the lack of ski shadows as he enters the helicopter and the lack of skiis as he exits and of course
