Cycling isn't a sport. It's more like a really, really expensive eating disorder. (Mr. Tom, BikeForums 2008)
awesome stuff! This one is even better I think. Check him launching off the chairlift ramp at 4:15
you're not the lord of the flies
I don't think you can compare the two.
McAskill shoots the things where you can see him, with his tricks done smooth and with the fails too. You se the guy smiling, and you don't really see him jumping where there's people around.
This Tovex guy seems to have amazing skills, but I hope it's all staged 'cause I won't be happy to have someone jumping over my head to make "his" movie. It takes nothing to have shit hitting the fan, and when there's other people involved is better safe than sorry, really.

I agree with Gattonero - it's not really fair to compare the two.
having said that, I watched the first vid (ep. 3), then the 2nd one that mainemike posted. The POV filming was making me kind of sick. And I was still left wondering who this Candide Thovex guy was. This video cleared that up, and had much better narrative and cinematography ;) A good watch if you've got an hour to spare.
