A few jaw dropping moments in that :) I'll have to watch it on the big tv later rather than laptop :)
When I was at school a mate used to buy Greg Stump ski videos, they were bonkers back then the stuff he was doing. Back then it was helicopter or cameraman doing the film, now using drones get so many better shots, as sometimes before they used to be too close or too far out to really see what was happening/appreciate it.

My guess is that's one of the reasons in the old videos the cameraman in helicopter was so far away, you just saw a small figure going down the slope, and the skiing camera man couldn't vdo the big drops, or we'd be watching footage of them :)

in case you were wondering what the tricks are, and wanted some analysis:
it's quite interesting see/hear someone who knows their stuff getting so excited, and explain what makes certain parts so impressive, even though some of us may not have realised which bits were "better" than other bits.
I suppose it's a bit like watching Princess Bride, or Ronnie O'Sullivan ;)
