Touring for two years was more than my body could take.
You're there and your head tells you that you have to go on,
but your body is close to giving out. Five to six days a week,
i was on stage for about two and a half hours every night.
Doing that for over two years, my larynx didn't feel great,
it felt like my vocal cords were just falling apart

Take a look at the following 2 pics:

With skis under his feet....

1 second later, without skis under his feet...

:rolleyes:
Naaa my friend, take a closer look, he's never wearing skis. What you see in your first screenshot are his arms, he is waving his arms about the whole time.

Interesting, I went to the actual youtube video and someone noticed that if you follow the link http://www.mach-es-machbar.de/ that it takes you to Microsoft Office products. Is this some sort of editing?

I personally don't think that it looks right for the amount of speed he gets from the start.

Well, I see one possible way how they faked it, when you check the video on the MS website, you see a crashtest dummy lying in the foreground for a few seconds. So maybe the guy was in the pool the whole time and they let the dummy do the jump and when it hit the pool the guy comes out of the water pretending he did the stunt.

The time has come, and i put a pic back on:
It is inpossible to make such a jump without skies.


Microsoft Germany has admitted that it was a "Fake Waterslide Viral Video".

Check how it was done: Here

Of course we all know by now that this is a fake, but one thing remains certain. In the pictures you SEE (and this includes your screenshot) the guy is NOT wearing skies. What you see there and put the little circle around are his arms. The guy is waving his arms about, check the clip.

Nah, the/a guy who jump(s)ed of the skischans can't get such a distance flying without anything.
2 fakemovies where used. and one short real one

One from the guy with the rope to get him hold (fake)
Then the/a guy who jumps real from the skischans to make that real jump, (with real skies) (real)..and cut half the movie and replaced, cause when you are lying and slide from the skischans, you will be pulled immediately down due your weight, and not fly in the sky..lol.. thats why you see the first kiddie pool below the end of the skischans. And was cut by the software to get replaced by the fake dummy (fake) who landed in the kiddie pool at the end.
