This is the first year in the 10 years we have hosted XGames at Buttermilk that we have not gone to watch the night events. It is so big now. So we watched on TV. And I realised that the cameras are sooooooo close that it is hard to understand just how high and how far these athletes are flying. So here is a picture of a jump taken from ground level with people included for reference. The athlete must take off up the ramp and clear the flat part to land on the sloping downhill section. Check out how far that really is.
