No fear and can chuck a sled but is there anything that requires skill over balls?

All of the riding he did required both skill and balls. You're kidding yourself if you think someone with no skill could do what he did.

Riding with your helmet undone and sending it like that is just dumb. The neck brace is a complete waste to wear with a helmet that isn't done up properly.

Yes I'm sure if you have no skill you won't get worked up to jumping in the first place but the video just showed nothing but and I think this guy must be leaving some on the table when it comes to showing off his skills. You couldn't have had the camera rolling that much and not have caught some other impressive riding like taking impossible lines etc.

Why does somebody always got to take a dump on what someone else is doing! It's a nice little vid and the kid clearly has both skill and a huge Set! I can't be anything but envious!

Kanedog 2015-2019, thanks for the good times S&M!
Jumping snowmoblies takes lots of skill and can be a very painful learning curve.

Haha true. I have also learned that guys will push and push longer farther on massive drops until their final year of drops. Which is where the drops cannot get bigger without major injury. So they end up with a back injury and end up tetiring in their most spectacular drop season. Hope that makes sense. Love watching the nutbars do drops tho!
