    edit: one of the rotating pics at the top of the page maybe slightly NSFW.

    I wonder how hard it would be to wear skis with that rig, and then drop into a run instead of pulling the chute.


    dammit jibij, it took 28 reloads before I could find that picture.

    what salomon video? I want a copy.

    I wonder how many poeple have tried to land that without opening the chute? Stall five feet above the ground and put your legs down Superman style!
