That first drop was MAAAAAAAD

[@normferguson2769]

Anthony Bebb my guess was a nearly 100’ drop (30m) based on tree height. Amazing

[@planetecaravane]

@@normferguson2769 It's insane man

[@gflaig9131]

@@planetecaravane freaking crazy, when I jump 4 meters I feel like I am gonna crash, imagine from 30 meter, freeking awesome

[@corbinwoods8811]

@@normferguson2769 yea I was thinking in between 90 and 110 wich is insane cause at those heights most people don’t even try to land

[@alexcorbelli6603]

My heart sank on the first jump :o CRAZY

[@kashdevingle]

[@zinedine2751]

that was bananas

[@tonymontana887]

Most bad ass video i ever seen. U re crazy man congrats

[@typicalkyle420]

In the winter I ski. In the summer I watch people ski.

[@marcogtturbo]

Outstanding team with incredible skills. One question to the editors . The speed of the video during descent is increased or not? To me looks like yes

[@anonymouspeoplesuck6403]

marcogtturbo same i think its sped up because they are good but the landings are to smooth for the pace

[@TheFactionCollective]

Hey guys ! In fact this is a completely RAW edit, meaning nothing has been sped up or even cooler-graded. What you're seeing is exactly what the pros are seeing !

[@marcogtturbo]

@@TheFactionCollective I hope you're really joking now. FOR SURE the jump itself is slo-mo'd this should be even not questioned. The point was about the descent. If you claim this is fully RAW then something seems not correct.

[@TheFactionCollective]

We had mentioned that nothing had been sped up, but yes, things have been slowed down ! Otherwise, these are RAW files.

[@marcogtturbo]

That make sense now , and audio part confirms your saying

[@4greenwave]

dope!!!!!

[@williamcollard7292]

HYPED

[@BeyondPrideMF]

This really brought a smile to my face, great video. But are they just going with the flow, not really sure where they're going? Looks like half of the time he loses control and just somehow makes it down there haha

[@codyo9256]

ya thats true free-skiing,! That was like surfing, riding a gnarly wave just trying to stay in control as much as they could. so pitted lol

[@JPandher]

I want that adrenaline to my brain, not nicotine.

[@aldengoebel7223]

Best part about Factions are seeing them in the Jackson Hole trash cans, snapped in half

[@tristanpollack6232]

terminal velocity may have been reached at 2:36

[@sheikhirshad2164]

Perfect ridering

[@matusgerbiark3622]

How to keep skis together while such a big jumps?

[@jackdimaggio2474]

matuš Gerbiark, you just need to keep them together. You will also have more control.

[@ImRefraction]

just "keep them together" is terrible advice lol you need to be dead center of your boots and it will make it a lot easier

[@daytonhunt2406]

It takes practice, I recommend wearing a pair of skis on flat ground and practice jumping in the air as high as you can with them. It just gets your body used putting them where they need to go

[@lucaspinter4845]

proper

[@wyattjensen255]

That was a lot of shifties

[@dennisebert1503]

that´s so sick

Hahahahaha! Naw...that's a RUSH!

[@dronalpes9705]

Ouf.. Étienne si tu passes par la tu peux expliquer comment t as enlevé la distorsion des bords de la GoPro pck c la première fois que je trouve ça aussi bien fait

[@westonwilcox4907]

listen to 'The River - King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard' in a second youtube tab while you watch this, makes it 10x cooler! An accident that was meant to be.
