Ok, I enjoy a great buzz rush now and then, but that just seems suicidal! That is amazing to say the least. I'd love to have the skills to be able to do that, but don't ever think my balls would grow enough for it! :eek:

60 degree slope with rocks is just absolutely nuts. I wouldn't touch the entrance to that, but once he gets down onto the wide face, it actually reminds me of the Taos west ridge, just a bit steeper, and that I'd ride in a heartbeat.

Is that from 'First Descent'?

I saw the film a long time ago and the interviews looked familiar.
To steep for me and Sled Dogs...I would need my Bigfoot for that run!

Holy crap. That's not snowboarding, that's more like freefalling down a mountain with your snowboard slowing you down a bit. I don't think I have the balls to try that yet, but maybe in a few years..... :D

That is so cool; I respect those guys more than I respect guys like shawn white just because it takes so much more courage to bomb a mountain like that then to try a 720 or something in the pipe. That was so cool and humbling to watch.

This is somewhat the only type of snowboarding i realllyyyy like to watch and enjoy. Everyone who liked this video should try to get their hands on a movie called Paradox by Standard Films.

truly breathtaking. plus great music to go along with the killer riding. pretty much 100% backcountry/first descents/ and craazzyyy jumps
edit: i actually found the trailer for the movie. Paradox Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ts_Mdo2ETk)
Pick this flick up. I HIGHLY recommend it
