the air in the yukon is thinner then regular air allowing for more boost

thinner the air means less oxygen and less brain cells so its not possible think about hitting a huge jump up in the yukon...you just do it

wait what happens when you put a balloon in a vacuum?

spongebomb (Oct 3, 2011 at 7:21)

it will inflate into the other direction (where the air is being sucked out)

hurray for science ^

Draggon (Oct 3, 2011 at 9:10)

@airbornmtnbiker, kinda ironic considering your name Wink

Also a marshmallow does the same in a vacuum as a balloon, it grows to about 10 times it's original size, Monstermallow......hurray for Mr. Wizard!

Sweet pic, pretty much my favorite trick

Maybe it's just me.. but doesn't that landing look a little farther into the background than where he's aiming to land? If so.. I hope he's not landing flat. OUCH
