    Really cool shots. FWIW, those people are bonkers. What an awesome sport. Second only to aerials when speaking of traditional skiing events (no snowboarding extreme skiing) IMO.

    I like 4 & 9. Some of the shots have some issues with the background distracting and a good number are underexposed - faces are, IMO, the most important thing in sports images but most of the faces are dark.

    Having said that - it's good to see something different so I'm glad you shared these. I think if you watch your backgrounds and bump your exposure you'll have some even better shots next time.

    Love #4

    Do you have any friends that do this or access to any one?
    I would love to see a camera mount shot from the helmet or chest area.
    The new go pro HD has a setting to do still frame photos. 1 frame every 1 or 2 seconds at 5 megapixels with a very wide angle. Would work great for this! Super small and light, you dont even know its there and the quality is a pretty good.

    How about a mount on the very back of one ski? That could show a really cool perspective.
