Para Skiing by Niklas Pedersen and Allan Stejlborg

Two crazy danes challeging the boundaries of skiing and parachuting.

This looks extremely dangerous, but like a whole lot of fun! We would definitely have to classify this under 'pretty extreme' just like the Wiley X glasses.

Para Skiing is the sport of jumping off high mountains wearing skis and a light parachute composed of inflatable fabric tubes that form a semirigid wing.
