A spur of the moment 40-footer at Alta that was probably twice what I ever have done before or since. Don't know how much skill was involved in my case - I'm going to venture and say very little, but I do remember rolling up the windows for an insane amount of time and then taking three or so somersaults and coming up with a bloody face, smashed goggles, but fortunately nothing more serious... or so I tell myself as I continue to search for clues as to why I needed back surgery at the age of 22.
