More booters & drops less treeeeeeeeeeessssssss
that was so 3 years ago
drag your best friend off the mountain with a broken back and deliver him to the emergency room....priorities change.
i have definitely changed my riding style. I like to jump and drop...but the size and height required to make it look good on film, is not for me. I make no money sledding...lucky enough to have some great sponsors that provide gear and equipment but thats not enough for me to get hurt.
Sure do love the trees though! IMO it takes more skill and technical ability to ride the steep trees then throttling off a medium drop/hit. The big stuff 80+ foot drops and 150+ hits take skill and balls...but you also pay big when you come up short.
SLedding is my winter hobby...I want it to be that for the rest of my life.
The most watched sledding video...ever....the track never leaves the ground.

I have to agree the drops are great to watch but after you turn 40 + it hurts alot more. I to prefer the trees. getting old is a bitch. I busted both ankles and crushed both knees on massive jump in my motocross days you only have to land wrong 1 time and you will remember it the rest of your life.
The old duke1n would have started yanking chains right about now but the new, improved, and much nicer duke1n will give you all a thumbs up and move along haha.
Regarding the "most watched" video ever... That had to be the single most lame piece of sledding I have ever seen in my life! Then again 50 million people watch American Idol every week so what do I know. Welcome to earth...

I remember having a heated discussion with you years ago about this very thing. Heated enough in fact that one of your buddies threatened me in a PM.
Glad to see you came around and common sense prevailed cause I don't want to see you or any of your crew crippled for life.
Extreme riding = extreme injuries. ride safe....fast but safe....

I'm happy to know I will never suffer from this malady lol. Who wants to hit some booters and try and kill themselves this weekend? Hit me up!
I have no idea what you are talking about...and nobody that is friends with me would be threatening someone over something on Snowest.
Maybe he misinterpreted the offer to smokem peace pipe haha? Take it easy people.
Good times! Always look forward to watching your latest B. So familiar with riding in dark timber.......the Aspens and Quakies look a bit strange.....but cool.
Q
Yeah I was pushing it hard last week.
The biggest difference evergreens have these fluffy braches...almost like bumpers around the whole tree. With an aspen...no safety net...you mess up....you going to stop....FAST.
I got a great blooper real in the works....I should have been wearing a cape with all the flying over the bars I did! lol
have you dropped into 54?
thats a pretty decent mark...its been done from a couple different spots
solid 80 ft?
My dad did that in 1987!
LMAO been over there a couple times. Got up on top once and looked for a place to come off. The best place I saw that time was I think where Matt came off just to the south of the chute. Lots of trees right up to the edge. The take off was pretty sketch where I was looking but I'm a puzzy. Have been wanting to get back up there and look around some more for places to come off. That drop ain't no joke. It's bigger than what it looks in that video. Brown did it a couple years ago in slednecks I think.
Where I was looking to come off is at the 1:30 mark in this clip. You had to ride out onto a finger. Don't drop a ski off one side or the other. It's big.
