Agreed. I felt a little nauseous just watching it.

I believe I posted this with the La Hoya 2008 TR where I meet a few French Speed Riders from Les Arcs. They pointed me out to their website.

They're definitely playing with fire. At the very least I see blown knees and broken legs in their future when they miss by even a little on one of those ridge crosses.

I hope no one was within a mile of the base of that avi! Not sure how smart that is to set off an avi like that even with an escape chute already deployed on your back. Imagine if his skis caught in the early debris...

If they hit those wrong, they could also just fall a couple hundred feet to their death... But I'm sure they were having fun. Seems a little risky to try to hit those ridges.
