Corbets Backflip

Truth is every hard drive will die eventually. Don't let that video of you skiing with a keg down Misery Whip die with it. Post pictures and videos here.

Good for her! I can’t even dropping into Corbets, never mind launching a back flip...

I was watching the Kings & Queens of Corbets contest live stream for awhile today...the 2018 winner "Crazy Karl" did a 1080 entry and two other guys did DOUBLE flips off the lip. :shock:
They had jumps setup further down so they could send it even more....

Damn.

Reminds of a time I skied a day out at Squaw Valley with a bunch of locals (including a friend I was out there visiting) who were hucking off a cliff that I didn’t even want to look over. There were a half dozen of so of them taking their time and watching each other’s launches and landings, and by the time I worked my way down the “easy” way, they were done and I still had to play catch up.

They built ramps on the top this year. Because hucking your meat off of essentially a 50 ft cliff isn't insane enough. Awesome event. Best part is the support and excitement all the athletes have for each other.
