That's crazy if conditions were perfect but in 50mph winds:eek2:

That landing looked pretty smooth, too.

It was difficult to see on the video, but it didn't look like his head snapped down, it didn't even look like his butt hit the seat. It didn't look like a "hard" landing, I bet he could go even further.

yeah it looked like a very smooth jump. i think he could go farther easily. insane though.

Farther might be possible with no wind and a faster sled.

How fast would he have to be going to jump that far?

[czrider263]

Thats nuts.

[HiperEX]

i thought i herd he was going to try and beat the previous record is what they said on the tv show sledhead 24/7

it said 72 mph on the vid. that was deffinitly sweet.

[2004-400ex]

cool vid but no way is the wind going 50mph when his sled hits the landing the snow he kicks up does not blow away
