damian 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Ok, fair enough, I was stoked from the start, it was awesome flying down that slope. But when he went over 'it' I was literally yelling WTF! and Bullshit! At least four times in a row, out loud. We are so lame. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Seriously, do you know what cliff that was he dropped?! It wasn't from the very top, rather from the skiers left flank. But still. It was the north face of the bloody Eiger! Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 That was fully sick, with a massive subwoofer mate! Much more impressive than Shane McConkey and JT Holmes base skiing off the Eiger in Matchstick's "Yearbook". Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 "The 14th of june, François Bon and Antoine Montant did the world first speedflying descent of the mount Eiger in Swiss.. So Big again!! From the top on the edge of west face, then in the north face til the bottom... Enormous!! Acro-Base team is preparing pictures, even if they have been disturbed by an afraid heli pilot... He coudn't follow the riders, he told...!!! Too fast..." Zut alors! (Look out soon for a thread about how François or Antoine died pursuing their passion for the sport they loved...) Link to post Share on other sites

thursday 1 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 so close to the rocks... looks like he was just about to crash but lifted his legs just in time. Nuts. Link to post Share on other sites
keba 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 FT, I think if you look carefully, his skis did touch the snow in a couple of places, but no, not skiing, really... Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah. What’s up Fattwins? why do you think this is just some ~I’m not interested whatever~ Why you being a grumpy old bastard? What he did was incredible and the helmet cam perspective made me shift positions in my seat as I watched. That little wing he had isn’t a parachute or paraponting wing. It’s barely a stunt kite.

gerard 6 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Nice vid. not quite skiing but I imagine those French dudes can carve some pretty elegant turns too. Acutally I didn't know that the French could be such badasses! I liked the sound track too. I like heavy tunes sometimes I don't think thrash goes well with snow. Link to post Share on other sites

jgraves 0 Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Badass indeed. But I'm with ft. Not at all interested in base jumping. It didn't do squat for me either. Link to post Share on other sites
