E.T. would be envious

For the new Evermore freeride video, Janes Grasic had to launch himself through the forest over a 9 meter gap. Basically, the nine meter gap wasn’t the problem; rather, it was the “un-cozy” general conditions that caused cold shivers. The landing was supposed to be a wet, slippery and steep wooden ramp and on top of that, there was no daylight. The crew met for a full moon night session. “Actually I was pretty scared of the landing,” admitted Janes. Cameraman Peter Rauch had similar thoughts and kept one finger on his cell-phone, the emergency number already typed in, ready to press “call”.
