    What an amazing vid!!!! So good to see the good going wrong sometimes like has been said above, although I thought you were supposed to keep hold of the ski when things go wrong so it doesn't land on you?? Couple of moments I thought he was going to have a ski in the head!!! Si

    SXR UK SXR Freeride Build
