World Record Cliff Jump on Skis - 245 Feet

[from_the_NEK]

However, jumping out of a plane with a snowboard is an entirely different beast than trying to land a 250 foot cliff huck. Out of a plane you have thousands of feet to gain control, whereas on a 250 foot huck you have no ability to correct yourself if you wanted to, you need to get it perfect. Also, with the ski jumpers, they have a perfect run in, perfect technique and are also going forward as much as they are down. THis is opposed to a cliff huck where they just kind of freefall. Again, much harder to control a freefall like that in backcountry conditions.

Very good points :beer:
