Mono Skiing

So I just discovered this crazy awesome sport today, while watching it on the X Games. HOW HAVE I NOT SEEN THIS BEFORE?! This sport looks sweet for a couple of reasons 1) these dude actually seem like genuine guys. One of the competitors is an ex-marine, this guy who won the competition (from last year) couldn't be happier, not really because he won, but because he was having just a damn good time. 2) It looks insanely hard. They're on one ski and expected to land jumps, there isn't a lot of give in having one ski. PLUS if you crash or slip you're down and out for a long time, its tough coming back from something like that.
