These things are pretty scary! The acrobatics are amazing, the guy has a lot of skill but I think there's going to be a lot of backlash after the skiing incident.

Oh and one last thing before Christmas - the economic and ghetto building motivation is so obvious. This enormous wave of people practically runs through Slovenia and Austria, countries with wonderful standards of living, that I would gladly relocate to if I had a good opportunity even just for the skiing - into the muslim "heaven" of awful slums in large German, Swedish, French and Belgian cities. They dont even see this exodus as a chance to escape from their main predicament. I have to admit stupid people frighten me a bit.

And he is thinking, "How the hell do I get my skis? They are the mountain's skis, now."

Back when I could ski, I would have called this a 1600 foot crash.

Yeah, that certainly IS steep. Just 5 more degrees and even I would have called it a fall, but for me to call it a 'fall', I need to see more real air time.

Here's a 1st person view of the same accident.


Most skiers would refer to that as a "fall", because you're off your skis.

Plus it's INSANELY steep.

After hearing more of the story, it is seeming more and more like this probably was a fishing expedition for 'racial and/or religious injustice'.
He was, reportedly, repeatedly asked by numerous teachers to put his clock away, as it would make some people nervous (and already had), instead he continued to take it to class after class until one teacher (in an English class, his 4th class?) insisted on an explanation about what he was showing around the class, and he steadfastly refused to give any at all.
He could not have intentionally made himself any more suspicious without putting a ski mask on, IMO. I hope all these offers dry up if it becomes more clear this was all intentional on the student's (parent's?) part. I sure don't want to see that kind of baiting behavior rewarded.

EDIT: As a side note, any clock with an alarm could actually be a bomb...or at least a trigger. My brother was suspended in the 80's for an altoids tin with a battery, mercury switch, and buzzer. When you picked it up it buzzed, and inside was a note saying "boom, this was a bomb, you just died"....he played 'gottcha' at the time (kind of a spy vs spy game played at schools back then, where you had an assignation target and someone else targeted you) and that was his best way of 'killing' his opponents. It was also proper to suspend him for bringing that totally safe device to school then, IMO.

I prefer the freedom of independent movement using skis.

Yeah, I saw that. I really don't know how I feel about it.
On one hand, yeah, it's ridiculous and therefore cool, but there's a part of me that likes the idea of surfing being human powered and sees this kind of thing as an invasion. I feel the same way about snow mobiles and jet skis.

It's completely irrational, I know. I think I'm just turning into a grumpy old man

I didn't even know they made those type of jet skis anymore. I thought they went the way of the 3 wheeled ATVs.

Let's hope CPS doesn't get hold of this video.
It reminds me of my parents taking me down the double black diamond trail when I was 5. The moguls were taller than I was! After that, I had free reign to ski alone (also not smart). Today I'm sure that would not be allowed. Things sure were different 40 years ago.

What's that in the distance on the helicopter open over the bridge?

If I squint and hold the screen really close I can just make it out. That's the Superhero movie genre jumping over a shark on water skis. Oh look, there's Henry Winkler cheering them on!

Very creative! I like trick ski with two skiis as much or more than snowboard tricks.
