Fluke Ski Jumping Accident at a World Cup Event

Thursday 25 February 2010 @ 10:44 am

Here is a video of a crazy ski jumping accident that happened at a World Cup Event in Zakopane, Poland held in January 2007.

There were strong, variable winds causing problems for the ski jumpers. In this ski jumping video, Jav Mazoch, one of the competiors, seems to be doing fine after taking off from the ski ramp.  Then, a fluke air pocket causes him to lose lift and he takes a terrible fall.

He ended up being in a coma and had some brain injuries but has since recovered and has resumed ski jumping.

Compilation of 3 Cliff Drops Over 200 Feet High

Friday 15 January 2010 @ 6:10 am

Crazy skiers dropping 200+ feet on skis. Check out the 2nd one, he almost hits a huge rock at the bottom, must be inches away from it! The mini avalanches he creates while getting speed for the jump are pretty cool. The highest is 245 feet. I can’t imagine what goes through their minds as they jump…

If you are wondering why they are landing upside down but slightly on their backs after the cliff drops it’s because the force of the landing will probably break their legs.

Here’s the name and height of each crazy high cliff jump:

  • Titus Engelborg ski jumps off a 210 foot high clif
  • Leo Brayman sk jumps off a 230 foot high cliff
  • Jamie Pierre ski jumps off a 245 foot high cliff

In terms of extreme skiing competitions, the Winter X Games is the best known. For the last 8 years, it’s been held in Aspen Colorado and attracts some of the best extreme skiing and snowboarders from around the world.

In this extreme skiing video, Jon Olsson and Simon Dumont compete for the gold in the finals if the Big Air Skiing competition. Jon Olsson does an inverted 1080 while holding a grab the whole time, he also takes off and lands backwards. The second extreme skier, Simon Dumont does a front flip like it’s nothing on the run up to the big air jump. Off the big air jump, he does another front flip, then, while doing the second front flip, does a Superman. Both jumps are executed flawlessly, and the landings are perfect.

—-> FUNNY <—-

Also, for a laugh, check out 1:44 of the video where the camera man falls off the jump, LOL.

Skiing in 3 Feet of Powder in Val d’Isère

Thursday 3 September 2009 @ 12:46 pm

Amazing skiing conditions in Val d’Isère with 3 feet of fresh powder on the ground. These extreme skiers catch these conditions and film this ski video at the top of Glacier de Pisaillas. Val d’Isère is one of the best and biggest ski resorts in the French Alps. There is plenty of skiing for everyone, from beginners to backcountry experts as can be seen in this video.

Watch in this ski video and how pro skiers, which are part of the Bonskieur Ski Team,  ski in deep powder. The terrain isn’t very hard or steep but any extreme backcountry skier would dream of going down a run like that. Can’t catch conditions like this everyday.
