  • Actually this is safer than normal skiing ;)

  • I used to be an adventurer like him, until I took an arrow to the knee

  • man i want to try this, but down a slope, note freefalling like that. Anyone tried it? The wind have to be non existent right?

  • very nice, my flights in Switzerland a few weeks ago............ Les Diablerets

  • very nice, my flights in Switzerland a few weeks ago............ Les Diablerets

  • uhm...theres something called a helicopter?

  • What most people don't seem to understand is that 13 days is minimal... you need at least 2 weeks to acclimatise to altitude otherwise you could develop HAPE or HACE at altitudes above 17,000', due to lack of oxygen in the air. When you are doing a sport as radical as this, it would be necessary to have all of your wits about you and you develop hypoxia in under 5 minutes above 12,000'. The effects of hypoxia at the very least make you retarded and drunk to about 0.08...

  • mmmm....not worth it I think. How about NOT combining the 2 sports, and just do Heli-Skiing, AND BASE Jumping, or Parasailing. 13 Days of hiking for 5 minutes of fun? What if the snow conditions sucked? You'd be super mad. I would not do that, It would be fun if you could do Heli-Skiing and that, instead of hiking half a month up a mountain and getting down it in 5 minutes.

  • @Rinocerente Mentality like that is the reason he is on the cover of magazines and your in your not..

  • @meimjr What mentality? Would you hike to the top of a ski resort, when there is a lift right next to you?

  • And people thought French people were pussies

  • "old drugs are *bullshit*, this one is good..."

  • at 0:32 i would poop my pants

  • The ascent is also part of the fun. Do it. 13 day climb awesome.

  • must be a lot of fun to spend 13 days going up only to have 5 minutes of fun

  • Holy cow, that is an amazing adventure. Please don't slam into the side of the mountain.

  • "Looks fun. Too bad my country don't snow."

    ---

    It's called vacation for a reason - switch country for a week and you're ready to go speed riding.

  • Well for ur information. I dun go vacation often. But when I do. I dun go to a snowing country. I had only felt natural snow once. In korea back in 2002.

  • ´ve been wanting to learn this for years....

  • 13 days to talk up.. for 5minutes of addrenealine... well worth it :D

  • insanely cool!

  • Wow what a psycho! Imagine hiting some of those rocks at that speed, youd be toast.

  • french toast!

  • BAaaahahahhaa, oh dear that's horrible

  • What do you mean. That looks awsome!

  • "French toast" = bad joke. Speed riding = toooottally awesome.

  • nice editing

  • you spend 13days climbing a mountain for 5minuites of fun...

    somehow i dont think thats worth it.

  • That's what I thought, but I'm sure if you try it, the 5 mins of fun can last a long time. Plus, that's not saying the hike/camp up the mountain isn't fun, because hiking and camping in the wilderness is just as exciting.

  • fuck yeah man! i want to do this!

  • Fuck that.

    I mean, to watch it - yeah awesome.

    But for me to do it.. Fuck, I'd shit my guts out. Just skiing down, oh yep, theres the edge of the cliff, lets just ski off it, lol.

  • Holy sh*t, I about pissed my pants just watching this. I wished I had the nerve...

  • yikes, yikes, yikes, let me go crawl under my covers!

  • That's insane! I wish I was more intact with the environment like him, too bad I have to make money

  • Excelente video.

  • I wonder if there was a natural "ground effect" that helped protect from hitting those annoying rocks that stick up and tend to smash you to bits?

  • to get over the rocks it looked like he jumped up to glide over them

  • 5*****

  • looks fun! and scary at the same time!

  • The bit at 0:33 scared the heck out of me. I hate heights!

  • Clint Eastwood would be jealous of the Eiger ski.

  • yumyumshisha

  • I gasped a little..

    lol intensely badass.

  • dang...looks funnn

  • mean

  • 13 days... would I? ... I want to do that but... I'll just hire a helicopter.

  • i like the beep with his acent sounded so funny this 1 is ##%@ good. lol thats a cool sport but what if you happen to catch a drift by penisula and cant stop....

  • That looks freaking sick but the 13 day hike wouldnt make it worth it

  • i would soooo climb for 13 days to do that

  • thats bad ass!

  • You can't use a snowboard cause you don't have as much control as using skii's.

  • How do you control it?

  • thats bad ass!!

  • Be a great way to get off of a mountain in a hurry if things went wrong ...

  • Sounds dangerous.

  • Looks sweet! I wish there was a way to do it with snowboard.

  • i'd totally do it if i could just take a plane or copter up...lol..i don't have the time to hike 13 days up

  • 13 days for 5 minutes, so NOT worth it to climb. But I bet its fun!

  • its not jsut about the rush ur so narrow minded

  • that's the MOST AMAZING mix of extreme sports EVER! and i wanna do it!!!

  • id totally hike 13 days for those 5 min.

  • sweet

  • 13 days for 5 mins, count me out

  • Haha! me too

  • going in a helicoper?

  • i kno srsly

  • 0:34 whoa

  • Seriously! That's exactly what I said too. :-)

  • WOW.

  • thats pretty high.

  • no shit

  • thats fucking sick i wanna do that!!!

  • that looks like alot of fun

  • Wow. I could see how this is fun, but a 13 day's climb is worth 5 minutes of Speed Flying/Riding? I hope it's worth it. :) I'm impatient waiting in line for a roller coaster ride. Hehe.

  • ok i must learn how to do this :D :P

  • Yes, and I also want to learn hang gliding. It must be amazing floating on air currents like the birds, uninhibited by the monotonous drone of an engine. The hang gliding video in my favorites list is simply amazing.

  • That must be an amazing rush.

  • This kicks ass!!

    don't you wish you had enough money to where you can do this

  • holy shit at 0:35 thats fucking scary!

  • Man, that is fucking awesome.
