    Not to thread hijack, but I caught this video this morning... snowboard footage on a whole new level. Can't wait to see it in blu-ray. Oh, and watch it in HD at fullscreen...

    common dude
    you think he did all that descent without ever using the brakes ?
    it's pretty obvious in all the turns he took

    B/w

    Did anyone find themselves constantly tilting their head back as if they were trying to shift the camera up to see the track properly ??

    Plus.. dude was wearing a pinstripe suit too!!!

    I got so involved that when I took a sip of my beer I thought I was gonna spill it on myself cause he was digga digga digga-ing down the stairs!

    I realized at the end that you can tell this guy is wearing a suit during the run.

    also at the beginning when he's at the launch pad, being counted down.

    Seconded. Crazy video. Is that kind of course fairly common in South America? I've never seen anything like it.

    sheeeit. i can hardly conceive of any of that shit even being real let alone the details about whether they use their brakes or not.

    the snowboarding footage does not even seem possible for xmen

    the ramps and jumps at 2:25 are scary as hell!

    So fucking sick. I love it when you hear him laughing to himself after one of the first huge gaps.

    This is the winning run....


    The same dog gets in his way.......
    You can also hear him jamming on his brakes!

    As a rider, the scariest bits for me were the lamp-post >squeezes... barely a handlebar wide.

    I wouldn't attempt it, I'd have to step to the rear and cheer.

    take that shit to the Bicycles thread!

    #WINNING guy is gapping stair sets the suit guy geeks. Already dressed for his funeral, too: he's all over the place! Crazed.

    as for snowboards, t.rice is the dude who really is the dude who's doing the shit that can get him called the all-time dude.

    Me too.

    Also, I just watched that snowboarding video and :FACEMELT: It's like adding snowboards to these BBC geology shows I've been obsessing on lately. That M83 track is fantastic too. I thought it was Pink Floyd at first, ha ha ha.
