If you're going to sign yourself up for skiing down an impossibly overcrowded mountain for the sake of chasing down a world record; it might as well look like you're at the beach while you're at it right? The footage for their attempt turned out pretty damn awesome as well!

This dude is paying lip service, literally.
Ski instructor Natty Hagood is a pretty extreme dude. How extreme? So extreme that he refers to impaling his lip on a branch as cutting it "a little to close to a tree while skiing." Yup, while skiing he crashed into a tree and a branch went through his lip.
He seems to think it's pretty cool, though.

“I thought maybe my chinstrap got pushed up into my face, so I tried to brush it off and that’s when I felt the stick,” Hagood told the Idaho State Journal. “So, I shook left to right and saw the stick moving in my peripherals. I reached out and grabbed it and wiggled it before realizing it was pretty far in there.”
Hagood is fine. He was able to pay off his dectuctable of $1,250 with the help of a GoFundMe.
But man, these pictures are surreal. Check out the before and after:

Meet Elias Ambühl, one crazy-ass SOB.
He just broke a world record by skiing a mountain at Arosa Ski Resort in Switzerland, reaching speeds of 81.5 mph.
So yeah, this dude's ca-razy.
Now that's not faster than the fastest skiier ever, Ivan Origone, who went 158.4 mph last year. But it's pretty dog-gone fast, especially backwards.
