My DVR taped last Friday's America's Funniest Videos (5/13) and they did a ski segment. It looks like one was shot from the lunch rocks and this guy took a hell of a tumble from the waterfall. I've never been to Tucks, so I may be wrong. Did anyone get to catch this one? .... or maybe someone can give some insight as to how to pull a video clip from a Time Warner DVR.

That video is from Tucks. I assume you're talking about the guy who jumps that snow covered cliff and then rolls repeatedly head over heels all the way to the bottom while his friends making the video laugh.

I believe his line was to skiers right of the headwall in the area known as the icefall.

Icefall ... that's what I meant. I wasn't expecting to see that on the show, it took me by surprise.

I saw that AFV and it was Tucks. The video caught me by surprise as well. I recently took a similar tumble just skier's right of the icefall.

I have also seen people flip off and land the Icefall, but more often than not I see people crash off the icefall.
