While we anxiously await video or photo proof of Freddy Krueger's world record (pending) its worth noting that Mr. Nicolas Le Forestier himself, while being a disgustingly good trick skiier, isn't afraid to show proof on his own website. This is a youtubed version of his 12,400 point world record run from 2005.
Of note, Le Forestier also has a bunch of other videos of some really cool tricks on his site. Plus some photo goodness of his knee surgery.
Going along with the world record theme of this post, you can look here for a list of current world record holders in the main three event categories, including Skifly.
Pretty impressive stuff. It would be sweet to track down videos from these various runs. If possible.
Here is the list of current world record holders (for those to lazy to click on the link below!). Actually, click here for a very complete list.

Search around and take a look, I can't find Wakeboard records and I don't feel like figuring out how to convert meters to feet for Barefoot. Maybe later on.

I have a correction to your caption. Those are drains in Nick's knee. Some of the mad trick ski skill is being pumped out. Where does the line start for transfusions. I'd camp out for that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe its being run through a dialysis machine like Keith Richards Blood.
