World Record! Mads Jonsson Goes Huge & Kills It!

World Record! Mads Jonsson Makes Snowboarding History: "snowboarding history books with a monumental solo session on a 40 meter (130 feet) table top stomping a huge backside 180 and the smoothest and most stylish monster frontside 360 seen to date. When all was said and done, the official distace was measured at 187 feet."

Scary, scary, scary stuff.

What is not aparrent to most people that have never really gone big is the amount of SPEED you need.

I can't imagine what Mads ground speed would have been, but I'm guessing it would have been over 100 clicks an hour.

At that speed I'm sure the only thing he could hear over the noise of the wind blowing past him, was the voice in the back of his head saying "just don't catch a f#$^ing edge..."
