A glimpse into the world of extreme snowboarding

These extreme snowboarders risk their lives for their passion. There isn't a ski lift out there that can take these brave souls high enough, so they use a helicopter to take them to their starting point. Just witnessing their adventure down the mountain made my palms sweat with second-hand adrenaline. In an interview, one of the snowboarders comments that he's aware of the death component to what he does, but this doesn't stop him from "dropping in" and  surrendering to the unknown.
