Help me understand this. Is the mountain required to be a very specific shape? I feel like this entire sport will be based on simply shaping the hill in a way where you keep perpetually falling and always get the record. It seems like the whole thing would be carving a good hill and landing at a super fast speed 🤷🏻‍♂️.

He fell over the edge so much he almost achieved orbit

[u/muffireddit2 → u/deepmindfulness]

Red Bull built a special hill ramp for him because no existing ski jump lets you fly this far

Dude. It's not fair if you only weigh fifty pounds

[u/LordSeibzehn → u/JRock1276]

To be fair, I’m sure they are equally in awe of 400-pound Americans who are still alive.

That's crazy

[u/Donairmen]

Human flying squirrel.

Kobeyashi - don’t they make coffee cups?

[u/BrokkelPiloot → u/ThePracticalPenquin]

He also did F1.

[u/richyboycaldo]

Could he have a squirrel suit and open it mid flight and start flying?

[u/gomurifle]

Surprised the drone couldn't keep up. 

[u/xjmachado]

What if the skier uses a wing suit, something like those used by the RedBull guys on skydiving.

How far could he go?

[u/CauliflowerLogical27]

So this is what it looks like.

Was kinda hoping to see him crash
