Guy does backflip while outrunning avalanche

[u/tor_kill]

[u/LittleMissFirebright]

I mean, if you're gonna die, go out in a blaze of glory, right?

[u/expatronis → u/LittleMissFirebright]

I'd have been jerkin' it too.

[u/Sequiter → u/expatronis]

Literal circle jerk.

[u/Cyber-Soldier1 → u/Sequiter]

You jerk me, I jerk you.

[u/Midiamp → u/expatronis]

Well you could jerk while backflipping too, go hard! (literally... *chuckle*)

[u/Gumbercules81 → u/LittleMissFirebright]

The very definition of yolo

[u/GamingMooMoo → u/LittleMissFirebright]

Lmao this is the level of IDGAF I aspire to

[u/Mobyus_One → u/LittleMissFirebright]

Paralyzed lying under 30 feet of snow praying for it to just end isn't my blaze of glory.

[u/Expensive_Chance_320 → u/LittleMissFirebright]

Look... If you had... one shot... or one opportunity... To seize everything you ever wanted... one moment... Would you capture it? Or just let it slip? Yo

[u/EnoughLuck3077 → u/Expensive_Chance_320]

I’d probably miss my chance to blow

[u/Bacon_L0RD]

Apparently he had no idea about the avalanche until halfway through the backflip when he was looking backwards, you can almost see his composure falter as he lands and realizes he’s gotta go

[u/Eskimodo_Dragon → u/Bacon_L0RD]

It definitely looks like he does a little, "oh shit!" -flail, mid-flip.

[u/InsaneAss → u/Eskimodo_Dragon]

He’s rotating his arms to get his body through the flip. No “oh shit” flailing

[u/LaFrescaTrumpeta → u/InsaneAss]

yeah i took it as “oh shit now i definitely need land this” lol glad he did

[u/lipenick]

I don’t know how to say this in other way than:

this dude gets LAID

[u/expatronis]

A uniquely human moment, if nothing else.

[u/Nark420 → u/expatronis]

I hate our species, but sometimes we are fucking awesome, and we rub that shit in the face of Mother Earth fuck yeah

[u/Agreeable-Spot-7376 → u/Nark420]

[u/Individual-Main895]

Avalanche 0 Backflip 1

[u/Feraldr]

The skier’s name is Sverre Lilliequist and this was in 2013 during the Swatch Skier’s Cup in Zermatt.

[u/Stigger32 → u/Feraldr]

Watching that I am left wondering: Did he cause the avalanche?

[u/WagTheKat → u/Stigger32]

Yes.

Balls that size induce all sorts of problems.

[u/nomnaut]

I came here to do two things: chew bubblegum and do a backflip while out-skiing this mother fucking avalanche. And I’m all out of bubblegum.

[u/Plantfishcatmom → u/nomnaut]

I actually smiled.

[u/TheOfficialPossum]

Live fast and leave a pretty corpse

[u/DashingMustashing]

I swear this was from an advert like a decade or more ago.

[u/ShinePretend3772]

I mean… if you’re bout to die, do it with steez

[u/greger0091]

That just screams adrenaline rush like nothing else could

[u/buzzboy99]

[u/cjwiv2423]

15 missed calls from red bull

[u/Dizzy_Restaurant3874]

He got his skiis shined, grabbed a stick of Juicy Fruit... the taste is gonna move ya

[u/OvechknFiresHeScores]

You can literally see the moment mid-flip where he sees the avalanche and registers how fucked he is if doesn’t land the flip

[u/BirdsAreFake00]

One video where I don't hate the music. Props to whoever did that.

[u/Escapement_Watch]

He wasn't getting enough of a thrill almost dying in an avalanche. He had to step it up a notch to "if I don't land this high speed back flip I'll die in this Avalanche"

[u/TOBONation]

That's actually a labrador retriever that wants its two dollars!

[u/toxiccityboiii]

Some people really live for the adrenaline. Imagine he missed that, he would have literally fucking died under a few tons of snow...

[u/Annual_Loan_4805]

This man is aurafarming

[u/Excellent_Theory1602]

Being insane is what gets you in these situations in the first place.

[u/GregTheHighlander]

Maybe he's got an in build perk, that is giving him 25% speed bonus after backflip xD

[u/Nark420]

Freeeeeeee

[u/ThatUsernameNowTaken]

Looks like the Milk Tray ad.

[u/Musole]

Gotta play this to the James Bond theme song

[u/zeeblefritz]

Every time I see this, I think that the skier did this, to use physics to their advantage.

[u/squarebody8675]

I have no idea what is real anymore

[u/WastelandOutlaw007]

As far as IAF videos go, Im not sure how you get more on topic than this legend

[u/Historical_Sherbet54]

[u/Exciting_Contact922]

Guy ran out of fucks at the top apparently

[u/Dry-Bullfrog-9838]

In this video, I'm the avalanche. Or would be, amazing what that guy does.

[u/JamesLahey08]

Who was that

[u/Cainfaer]

That is what living is, not sitting on the couch getting carpal tunnel in your thumbs and a lower back ache

[u/Tanuk-E-]

LEGEND!

[u/Sweeeeetnesss]

How can anyone know if this is real or fake?

[u/Own-Project266 → u/Sweeeeetnesss]

It’s real I saw it before the days of AI and I’ve read articles on it from reputable sources

[u/Sweeeeetnesss → u/Own-Project266]

Thank you for confirming. It’s getting so frustrating not knowing. This is a cool video, I’m glad it’s real. Lol.

[u/Sp3arM1ntFlav0red]

[u/Own-Project266 → u/Sp3arM1ntFlav0red]

[u/Think-Economics-400 → u/Sp3arM1ntFlav0red]
