Here is the video of his Kangaroo flip:

Not a long time ago, it was allready year 2008, Jon Olsson with S.Dumont and Schiller involved in a complete new open freeskiing content. The name was.. mm something like Winter American Open, a ok here it is the North American Open at Breckenridge. In this event there is a new format of qualifing. Every rider has as many runs as he manage to do through a daylight to show himself in front of the judges. When a rider hears the “bib”, he is qualified for the next level.

Here some more great moves from Jon in this video, just perfect flips, grinds and everything else:

Go Olsson! Go Jon!!!

List of extreme sports

My list of extreme sports:

BASE Jumping: is very extreme activity that includes a parachute (can be used both parachute and wingsuit) to jump from fixed objects, with unopened parachute like skydiving. The acronym “B.A.S.E.” stands for: Building, Antenna, Span, Earth – four categories of objects from which B.A.S.E. jumper can jump.

Bodyboarding: is a kind of wave surfing. But instead of surfboard u have a rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam.

Shape of board depends on riding style, and rider himself. Wiki says that bodyboarding is fastest growing extreme water sports all over the world.

Canoeing: extreme canoeing (a.k.a whitewater canoeing or whitewater racing). These extreme guys race specialised canoes and kayaks down a dangerous whitewater rivers. There is also such a class like Extreme Canoe racing, that includes much more complicated rapids, leave it for real pros

Triple backflip

I’ve never thought that triple backflip is possible in skiing. Last time i’ve been seeking for triple backflips, i’ve met only acrobatics and poolside jumps… there was some great roller skater who did triple backflip. I’ll post that video later (if i find it)..
