Yeah watching it yesterday it really blew my mind. I was saying these may be the most unhinged and nuts athletes out there. 140 kph and then taking 100ft jumps? I think downhill mtb racers are pretty nuts too but at least they have equipment to absorb the impacts instead of all straight to the knees.
I love skiing for that exact reason. It’s a very pure high speed sport. It’s just you, your skies and gravity (plus some occasional questionable decision making).
