Miss that perfect powder we had on Mount Hood last week? Stupid Question! Well, nobody can stop you from watching this Nimbus Independent clip of Eric Pollard "performing a tip wheelie triple axel in honor of the Olympics." Don't ask me how he does it, but that move is definitely worth watching more than once.

Thanks to the guys from Mountainology in Rhody for tracking down this beauty. It's the longest ever recorded ski jump in history, 809 feet, and it looks like he could have flown even further if he hadn't run out of landing hill. Definitely recommended to stick it out for the slow-motion replay.
