yeah it is a skier, Jamie Pierre, but who gives a ****. whoever can huck a 245 foot cliff has some serious balls, let alone with out a parachute either. ok so this is wut happened. he is about 100 feet down and is going too fast to stay straight so he actually flips over and from that high he lands straight on his head. Created about a 6 foot deep bomb hole from it and wen he was unburied he skied away with just a cut lip. yeah thats right he hucked a 245 foot cliff, landed on his head (without a helmet), and only had a cut lip. enough said.

10 to 20 ft drops would be a good place to start ... seems like once you start going over 100 ft it would all be the same. Some sky-dive lessons maybe in order and some time in a vertical wind tunnel.

Yep, the footy is available on the internet. I'd post up a link for you but i'm not cool enough yet. However, i will tell you that it was on KSL TV and if you go on there web site ksl (dot) com and search around a bit you'll probably be able to find it. Perhaps someone that's cooler than myself will post up the link ...

Salt Lake Man Ski Jumps Off 245 Foot Cliff

John Hollenhorst Reporting

Imagine falling 245 feet from the top of a cliff, landing head first, and living to tell about it. That's exactly what a Salt Lake man did, and he did most of it on purpose to set a world record and to spread the word of God.

Who'd be crazy enough to ski off a cliff like this?
Radio: "We're ready at the bottom. You guys ready at the top?"

Well, maybe a guy like this. He's Jamie Pierre, extreme skier extraordinaire, featured over the years in videos blazing with rock and roll music and wild skiing. His specialty is skiing precipices and slopes so steep the faint-of-heart would, well, faint.

Jamie Pierre, Extreme Skier: "I understand why I might appear crazy, but believe it or not, it's all calculated and pretty safe, what I'm doing."

Yeah. Right! Even Pierre planned this cliff-jump near Jackson Hole for seven years.
Jamie Pierre: "I just had to wait until conditions were perfect."
In the video, he's the little dot coming off the top.

Jamie Pierre: "I wasn't thinking about landing. All I was thinking about was going off the cliff. The landing happens."

But even after seven years of planning, things don't always go according to plan. In mid-air he turned upside down. He fell the whole 245 feet in four-seconds, landing headfirst in the snow. His buddies raced to the scene to dig him out.

Observer: "He went head first, skis up, and piledrove into the snow straight down."
Jamie Pierre: "Made quite a large crater. Apparently the impact was pretty impressive. Fortunately for me, I didn't have to see it."

Now, the gonzo Salt Laker has two messages for the world, one about God.

Jamie Pierre: "He's given me a wonderful opportunity to share my faith and to share the word of the Lord."

The other message is about skiing.

Jamie Pierre: "Don't be foolish and jump of cliffs. You might get hit."
The jump of 245 feet apparently beats the world record of 225. Pierre makes a living as an extreme skier and his jump was documented by a filmmaking company called Teton Gravity Research.

Amazing! The pic isn't enough, we need a video. I'm hopin' we get it cause that's the sickest jump.

To you Jamie Pierre~
It's great to see, not only a man of faith, but a man of faith makin' sick jumps like that. Jamie, keep up the good work and God bless. Romans 6:23
