Jamie Pierre... nut!

**hop** · 03-21-2004, 03:53 PM

Just left Engelberg where I saw the cliff Jamie Pierre hucked last week. It measured out at 52 meters (that's 169 feet...)
Oskar Enander took pics and they are pretty, um, stunning. Apparently JP backslapped (what else is new, but then again until somebody goes and sticks it cleaner, what do I have to say?) and missed a rock with his head by cm's (that's inches/2.54) yet still managed to be unharmed.

That is all.

Hmmm... Not bad. Where are you now?

I just talked to Jamie a few days back and will see him later this week; he said that trip was amazing - he also got engaged while over there - and that the pix and footage are unreal! Should be interesting...

Is Engleberg the sweetest little village or what? Oh yeah, the mountains are kinda nice, too. You gettin fresh there, hop?

Depends on the context.

I guess the up side of a global heat wave is that everyone wears less clothes, eh?

Got the tape. OMFG. I'll try to get a sequence going later today. I usually get pretty jaded watching footage, but that is some seriously sketchy shit. He didn't clear the 160 foot cliff he jumped and landed on rocks.

Elaborate please..........

seconded.

I'd never bash that kids skiing. He's nuts and lays it all on the line. Serious respect.

His crazy religious ramblings on the other hand.

**KevinDineen** · 03-22-2004, 04:53 PM

I just saw a couple of the shots, and it's fucking huge.

On the backslap thing, according to Jeff Holden, you can't hit anything that big and not hip it or backslap.

**CaddyDaddy77** · 03-22-2004, 04:53 PM

Definitely not bashing, just curious.

Pierre is on my a-list, he's out there to push it, not just ride the wave, but try to crush it.

Like to see the footy, newly engaged GF must have been thrilled.
She should get some Life insurance on that boy pronto!

Thanks Captain O!

hope to see some of that footage or a few stills of the cliff he threw himself off of.

Pierre<-smoke chronic, then huck, then while still dazed, get engaged.

**LIP** · 03-22-2004, 07:07 PM

Oy!! I watch Morrison, Pierre, etc. and just wonder how many hits like that does one human body have in it. I hit my limit about 10 dislocations ago. Old bodies suck!!!!!!!!

**kush1** · 03-22-2004, 08:14 PM

anyone know if he ever hit that 225 footer he was scoping??

I think we would have heard about it. ("We" being either the Utards or the Maggots.)

Red Baron said that Jamie scoped it and it wasn't "just right". Pussy.

Hey, maybe it was double top secret!

**Red Baron** · 03-22-2004, 08:37 PM

That's right, they went and checked it out several times, but never attempted it; it's actually 240', and in the BC outside Grand Targhee.

Someone dropped a 60m (~180ft) climbing rope off the top of it, and it didn't reach the tops of the trees below, which are about 60 feet tall, which is where the 240' number comes from.

He told me last Thursday that he's still planning an attempt at the world record, and I'll pass on the info as soon as I hear anymore about it...

Jamie Pierre is a sick, sick skier... but i wish he'd be more careful. Landing that close to a rock off a cliff that big is, literally, coming very close to death. How long before there is a miscalculation? It would be such a shame to see such a sick skier lose his life.
