#FlippinFridays: That time you threw a backflip in front of a raging avalanche

 

The "Swatch Skiers Cup" is an insane event. It's a freeride event that pits Team America against Team Europe in two different regions of Zermatt, Switzerland. 

 

Incredible images are to result, but these ones are a few steps beyond that. During his run, skier Sverre Liliequist not only outruns a pretty massive avalanche, but he tosses a massive backflip in as well!

 

Check out the insane video footage!!
