Insane Ski Video Puts You in the Action

Off jumps, over choppers, pulled by horses. This is nuts.

After ushering in winter with a snow-less ski charge, Candide Thovex has taken to the first person video medium to once again give layfolk the opportunity to experience skiing through the eyes of one of the best. Blasting flips and spins off jumps on a perfect winter day, watchers are treated to the sound of rushing wind, breathing, and stomped landings, all without the usual corny techno beat video game soundtrack. Ever wonder what it was like to launch yourself over a spinning helicopter? Now you can do so from the relative comfort of your own cubicle.

Crack yourself an extreme energy drink, kick back, and watch while silently thanking GoPro for giving casual onlookers the opportunity to feel rad every now and then. Just make sure you sit it out until the surprise ending.
