Worlds Best Jumper - Romain DeMarchi -

[snowboarder952]

Skiers can be bitches too. When snowboarders are on cat tracks or just any flat run skiers are always the ones who find it convenient to slalom hard. Its really about the rider though. Both skiers and snowboarders can be bad. Its more of a matter of awareness and mental capacity

[prosnowboarder19]

I've been boarding for 5+ years and even I hate it when douches (of either sport) stay in the middle of a run. Personally I don't mind having to strap in, it takes like 10 seconds and gives time to soak in the sights and chat with friends. And "messing up the snow"?! Seriously wtf is up with that. Everyone stop the hating and stop comparing skiing to snowboarding and vise versa. Grow up, this shit is for fun and having a good time and NOT being a bunch of assholes to someone from the other sport

[jeroliver]

I board and ski. it's fucking annoying waiting for boarders to get their bindings strapped up. So when I do board I strap those things up quick and get riding. oh, and I don't sit around in the middle of runs. gtfo of the way.

[ninelevelsdeepful]

@jeroliver so what it takes a bit to put their bindings in? you could atleast be patient, they have to wait and bend down and buckle those things up themselves, it takes away from their time too so stop bitching. and yes it is annoying how some people sit in the middle of the hill

[snipee5]

that was a bit of a gap.

[ILivForFun]

i hav see bigger

[justgiver91]

romains sick but t-rice is better. travis does that huge shit with style, no crazy arms all over the place

[TwinTippah]

lol wasnt as big as some others i've seen

[sangafish]

romain aint the best jumper!! wtf!?!... T rice, gigi , wig , mfm got way more style!!

[skaterman312]

That was awsome but I think Gigi Ruf had the biggest jump even though he didnt try to do the jump

[skoocda]

Crazy how far snowboardings come since a few years back

[RubberDuck71014]

that takes some serious balls, you can't say that isn't big. I don't care what you compare it to. I'd be scared shitless

[volkl1928]

he cheated

[1freeheel]

not even close... my in know girls who rally way harder

[MiketheGod17]

howw bigg was thatt?

[seajay188]

HOLY CRAP.. where were the strings attached?

[RyneSullivan12]

he was fkn snowbording

[grambo22]

Romain is good but world's best jumper? Come on, have to give that to Travis Rice, Jussi Oksanen or someone else. This isn't that big of a jump, search for Candide Invitational if you want to see a big park step-down.

[JTMoney369]

TRice is def the best, but that is a pretty gnarly kicker bro - I would not say it "isn't that big". Just my .02.

[xthepkxx]

Terje Haakonsen from norway? xD im patriotic ;D GO NORWAY!

[haydn1992]

its true, only a skiier wood say that

[jonnyking100]

wow huge jump

what like a 80 foot.

[iknowmyname94]

that was a freakin monster of a jump!

[haydn1992]

skiing is for the feeble

whereas snowboarding is for the skilled

[thank5brain]

wow u still have that skier snowboarder thing going? grow up.

[d1sc0nected]

I ve learned the basics of snowboarding in 2 days and after that you improve verry verry fast...

[Slicer213]

Yea, snowboarding is a lot harder to learn than skiing. But in terms of mastery I think once you learn how to snowboard its easier than skiiing. I broke my wrist learning to snowboard but now i can do double blacks like nothing. Its so much easier to control than skiing once you can balance. People think skiing is easier cuz of "pizza", but thats not how you skii. "Pizza" is like falling leaf lol.

[xyzagent]

well... i learned boarding before skiiing.. and i think its the other way round^^

skiing was harder to learn for me xD dunno why..

but boarding is hella more fun :D no discussion on that xD

[Fiercefighter2]

I have bee nteachign at a resort for around 4 seasons now, and I can say, on average people pick up both sports equally as well.

some people still hate on the sport thier "opposite", but in my opinion that is simply ignorant. there is nothing homosexual about skiing and nothing retarded about snowboarding, they are both equally fun sports which are equally as fun to watch.

[JacobReesor]

Well said I agree ; )

[xyzagent]

so damn right :P

[nathanmeyerflanders]

totally agree both are awesome even though im a snowboarder

[ILivForFun]

@Fiercefighter2 the problem is while i snowboarded once to try it it is fun but once i get on my skis which i have been doin for 7 years and i am only 13 and an instructor i realize that snowboardin is just another way to hav a board sport idont believe a board on snow works as well (there is less need for skill) and they mess up the snow for us hard working skiers

[Elsweyr666]

@ILivForFun 13 year old instructor...? What are your qualifications? If you had snowboarded for 7 years you might be saying the opposite too, boarders carve up back country and park just as good as skiers. Grow up.... even though ur a baby :p 

[ILivForFun]

@Elsweyr666 again it messes up our sno and my qualifications i often train with profesional skiers and hav takin many training courses with P.S.I.A. (profesional ski instructors of america) and hav already passed to get my lvl 1 once i turn 16

[Elsweyr666]

@ILivForFun

messes up "your" snow? I work for a mountain, teaching both snowboarding mostly with a little skiing on the side, and would never employ an attitude like that. The snow doesn't belong to anyone.

[ILivForFun]

@Elsweyr666 well tht sux for u jackass i wouldnt want to work for u

[Elsweyr666]

@ILivForFun Why not? And how am i a jack ass?

[orsvend]

this jump isnt bigger than the stylewars 2007 jump. Check THAT out! (but hell yeah, its still huge)

[tinkytwinky]

i agree, the snowboards was made by 2skis being strapped 2gether, then lift tickets were at a standstill and snowboarding introduced jibbing and park, which revolutionized skiing. So they both would be NOWHERE without eachother

[mepeppermintman8]

they both wouldn't be anywhere with out each other. snowboarding came from skiing, skiing progressed because of snowboarding.

everyone calm down.

[willoverthemoon]

Too fucking right. I'm sick of all this shit about which is better, and all the hating from the boarders. Who really gives a shit? Do what you love and love what you do... But for fuck sake, don't tell people what they're ALLOWED to love.

[janbatos]

skiing looks so gay... the same like wakeboard and waterskiing

[MadisonSkeet]

same as*, you must be foreign to English

[JoMACKALinc]

I have skiied and snowboarded both for a long time, in the end I choose to ski, I still love snowboarding and riding with snowboarders, I just think its a stupid thing to fight about, both skiers and snowboarders can rip

[thekirkeby]

snowboarding vs. skiing, here we go again

[manbearpig900]

They are both fun. anything u can do on a board u can do on skis, but not the other way around. BUT skiing is alot harder so it is harder to get good at

[ryanm867]

Your retarded. Boards are way more versatile on and off the mountain.

[pinklobstertelephone]

in conclusion, you are a total fucking moron.

watch ANY Think Thank video and tell me what is done on a board can be done on skis.

[mig7u]

this sport is not only about tricks you know....

[an2nkr]

is skiing harder?:P haha you must be realy retarded, I have been snowboarding,,(and skiing) quite a time and you cant even compare how hard, skiing and snowboarding is when you start riding. you almost dont need any balance at all to learn to ski..... (if you compare it with snowboarding)

[mig7u]

maybe snowboard is harder at the start but it is much harder to dominate skiing as there are lots of styles to learn

[linemaverick69]

you dont learn styles you fucking idiot. its just kinda there.

[keith0luker]

ya you do dumb ass

[mig7u]

your the fucking idiot dude...maybe you go out trying to do slalom, giant, super giant or carving and the only thing you do is look like a complete retard because you dont know anything, nobody is born nowing it all

[linemaverick69]

my bad, i thought you meant just like your style of skiing, not different aspects of skiing.

[mig7u]

my response was for linemaverick69

[mikenasa]

ur a fkn fool

[Airforce2142]

ok i heard alot of fucking retarded shit in my life, but did u just say sking is harder than boarding?... were u dropped on your head when you were born, since this question isnt open for debate im not gonna waste my time to explain how dumb are

[mikydotorg]

snowboarding wins hands down every time

[75757567]

i FILMED THAT!

[skifreak8]

go skiing :)

[mitchmitch]

fag

[skifreak8]

too bad snowboarders are wanna be skiers

[wakeboarding72]

skiing is gay

[chrisbruni]

thats the dumbest thing ive ever heard .. do some rails on skis so u can do the WHOLE 4 tricks u can do on a rail .. snowboarding has mad variations for rails and look steezy as fuck .. now i want you to go do some rails and fuck up and bag yourself hahaaa . skier faggit

[an2nkr]

haha lol, its just opposit, jib skiing is fucking gay, and everything is from the start taken from snowboarding.. the only nice thing you can do on skis is truckdriver

if you take rails and boxes as an example you have to say that snowboarding looks so much cleaner, skiing looks just so gay...

[Restayvien]

No one gives a shit. Live and let live.

[LINEskier77]

[mitchmitch]

[xterain6]
