Skier Manages to Beat Avalanche and do a back flip in the process

I wasn't sure where to put this so went for default mode, please move as necessary

I consider myself an O.K. skier,
I still get overtaken by the local kids but I can reach the bottom in reasonable time and in one piece (so far)

This guy is awesome (or lucky) I think with the black flip I'd put him in awesome



Good skiing people enjoy the rest of the season

Wow nice video cody. That guy can ski. Thats one thing ive never done skiing. Even though theres a dry ski slope not far off me!.

I would have been dead a dozen times before the flip.
The things humans can train themselves to do are amazing.

Well we could always prop the bar up if our legs were in plaster. And i certainly wouldn't be doing any back flips!

Yeah that guy jumping from space. I had read a sf novel not six months before this guy jumped, all about a sky diver who jumped from space and all the surrounding hype that followed him. Then this real guy freekin did it.
To day I just went out and rented Chasing Mavericks, about the big wave spot on the California coast.
I'm 66 now and used to surf Santa Cruz a lot in the mid sixties. At that time there were rumors of a big wave location up the coast but because it was so inaccessible in those days it was nothing more than rumor. Now I watch those big wave surfers and just loose my breath.

Sometimes I think that the supposed aliens have come here to do nothing more than watch these new breed of surfers
