The Redbull Rampage thread got me thinking it would be fun to see some pictures of what people consider the craziest natural line that they've seen. If you've ridden it yourself, even better! Jump, drop, stay on the ground, all that matters is that it's a somewhat natural line..
Here's the one that got me thinking about this in the other thread, but what I consider one of the craziest chutes I've ever seen ridden:

The guy hiding behind that wooden thing made me laugh.

Is there a video of this? To me it just looks like a drop.

That chute is immediately what I thought of when I saw the title of this thread.

Maybe this is a better winter thread

I'm pretty sure you're right that he dropped this, but "just" a drop?!?!
Where he's at, his bike is darn near vertical!!
Maybe I'm just easily impressed.

Another shot of the same... Can't anyone one-up this?

CRAP!!!!! You're right!
That is freaking unbelievable. Can anyone one-up the Kenny Smith photo???

Look up and left and you can see the tire marks. It's a right-handed chute.

Fuuu... Can someone confirm it's legit, because I just soiled myself at work looking at this and I'm going to be gutted if it was over a photoshop.

I had a calendar once with someone doing a hole shot... natural opening in the terrain and the rider was going through to a drop looked like it was jackson hole, but was actually somewhere in France according to the caption (I think)

Yeah it's the real deal, camera angle is clever though - because it's head-on, you can't see how steep it actually is. Looks like he's riding down a cliff but it's obviously not actually vertical. The photo is popping up in SRAM promo material all over the place already.

Recent Bike Mag photo - had a pretty funny write-up from the rider, along the lines of: 'rolled in slow & tire started skidding, let go of brakes, shot out like a cannon - scared sh!tless'...

don't know if I can dig up a picture of it, but that cliff that barel rode down in NWD9 was pretty much the gnarist thing I've ever seen.

Just watched. Pretty epic! The whole Barel chapter is mint actually, not sure I've bothered to watch the film before.

Word is there are some photos of Brett Tippie doing silly things on a crazy rock face on their way to public consumption. Not sure if they're going to be quite as nuts as that last one...
