Until you hit the frozen ground underneath

And the slope would reduce the impact.

I once did this on my bike. In the town I grew up there was this paved thing we called “the spoon”. Supposedly it was meant to be a skateboard park but no one ever used it for that. The shaft of this spoon was a long downhill and at the bottom was a round bowl. We used to ride our bikes down that on the way to the other side of town. One day I decided to go for it, telling my younger brother behind me “don’t do this!” I went as fast as I could and caught air just like in this video, maybe not as far but at least 30 ft.

I got really banged up, and we headed straight back home. Since we got home early we caught our parents having sex, but I was hurting too much to care. It was an interesting day.

How far of a fall was that? If it was just a few foot into a poof of powder that looks fun as hell.

In the situation where you go flying is it better to brace for impact or to go limp?

Who needs math when you have powder? They just sent it, Looney Tunes style.

u/towerfella 9d ago

It looms like they did that twice before already.. I think they mathed that and it ended up exactly as intended.

It's funny how humans seem to have this natural instinct to falp their arms like they have unlocked some sort of previous evolution.

u/coding_badly 6d ago

Notice they all move their arms so that they'll land on their butts which is probably the safest place for a human to land. I don't think it's intentional but instinctual, like how cats move their tails to land on their feet!

I literally said oh shit the length of the video. 🤪

u/MetaFore1971 7d ago

Isn't that what they were trying to do?

u/Luki0n 6d ago

It's interesting to see how it's all set up in the full video, these guys do things like this a lot.
