    Italian Xtreme Comp Slide

    can't remember the exact resort
    news here in Slc just showed it a little while ago
    may be a re-run here

    unbelievably sick none the less
    way gnarlier than any seth survival two years in a row a few ago
    plus patrol had already "supposedly" bombed the area

    if the guy didn't win, something is seriously wrong with the judges

    anyone else see it??

    It was on an Australian ski forum a couple of hours ago - just saw it. Pretty gnarly, alright. The guy was pretty casual coming out of it. Almost took a nasty ride over the rocks. Super lucky.

    Unbelieveable!
    Just amazing that he makes it through and then casually skies out of it.

    He should definately win!

    The folks down at the finish line didn't seem very concerned or impressed.
    More gauze pads, please hurry!

    I think he needs to protest. Obviously the judges missed the back flip he did while completely obscured by the slide!

    Friggin awesome vid. Congrats to him for surviving that. My heart dropped when I saw that crack right where he was turning.

    I was thinking the same exact thing. It was like he was meeting his friends at the pre-ordained lunch spot.
    Charlie, here comes the deuce. And when you speak of me, speak well.

    Crazy! Lucky to ski out of that.

    But, why should he win or place? I don't get it.

    You can tell it was important - BBC News London had the clip!

    Do you realize that you've just posted an admission of ignorance so breathtaking that it disqualifies you from commenting on any political or economic threads from here on out?

    Because you're a pussy if you can't outrun an avalanche.

    Thus, this guy is the ultimate nonpussy.

    Good god. I can't believe that guy isn't dead. The casual thing at the bottom was retarded. I would've tackled the kid and been going crazy. That was amazing.

    I'd love to see what the winning lines were. Those euros are straight up evil.
