Grew up skiing near there, you can see the jump from three different resorts. As park skiers it was a dream hit we joked about...Sammy C actually made that come true. Thank you! So rad!!
kpd987 been meaning to get to Indian head! I’m from Wausau, at least we have Granite Peak. Hiked the porcupines for a few days last summer and every summit we hit you could see the ski jump. Really cool
@@hypedup205 Skied Granite as a kid too but that was when it was called Rib Mountain. Been a in Utah since 1989 and have been a pass holder Alta, Snowbird and now Park City. Doesn't matter where you turn just turn 'em!
Think I rather take my chances with rocks than metal poles sticking straight up waiting to rip my nut sack off... Couldn't they just use a plastic marker that could bend on impact?
why do you need metal poles indicating where rocks are under the snow on the landing of the biggest ski jump (ramp) ever built? If i saw it in summer, id still be asking what idiot decided to add those.
Dr. Bees in Ironwood that's probably the most excitement they have seen in years. It's so boring up there.. Nothing to do unless you only are into hunting and fishing..
@@benmollitor3776 Depends on what you call boring. With all that's gone on in our county, it's a pretty good place to be. Mountain biking, waterfalls, Lake Superior, new shops, a new wine bar, a new downtown park with a splash pad for the kids, hosting a number of events, The Emberlight Festival showcasing the arts, including opera, Broadway, art in the park and an independent film festival. Unlike a lot of small towns, Ironwood is growing and looking good.
@@randallerickson175 Yup! Can attest to that. Grew up an hour or so away in wisconsin, just over the border. Grew up visiting ironwood to ski and now go there for the smoke! I can imagine people are sick of the larger cities in michigan...we both know why!
Haters can talk all the shit they want, but once they get to the top of that jump, I guarantee they chicken out!!!!! Much respect to that guy having the balls to do that shit!!!!!!!
Me watching crash: Oh god he's going to hit the trees!!... Oh few there's a safety fence... wait... what? METAL SPIKES?! WHO DID THE RISK ASSESSMENT ON THIS THING?!
That was a fake bail. You expect me to believe he's that good and then he just throws a shit hook on the landing out of nowhere, he looked perfect in the air. He needed to show a bail for the video and he has so much air awareness he was able to do it without hurting himself.
We went there last October 9, 2022 to see the beautiful autumn colors and the stuffs said they are renovating the place next year and target opening is fall 2024🎉🎉🎉❤
I stood up top that in late 70s watched two Canadian ski jumpers get paralyzed that winter, gave up Ski Jumping that year! Retired 3 time junior Champion, best rush of my life!
That's the complete opposite, how is it safe to have metal poles sticking out the ground by the landing area. If he didn't manage to get back in to the middle he could of got killed by hitting them at that speed.
Yes... metal stakes. I remember those from when I was a kid walking up the side of the hill in the early 80s. There was a staircase built into the side of the run that had deteriorated over the years. The spikes were part of that.
Music / Instrumental / track / song ... is made by Andrew Sorge and Scott McKay Gibson. The track was made specially for this documentary and is not public anywhere else, the only place you can hear this cool track is on youtube video or in the documentary. The song is probably inspired by the "Glubbed to death" song / track.
OMG YES...atop that monstrosity...I can imagine...I recall back in the day we had a pretty big jump at Hiawatha Ski Hill in Sault Ontario that closed in 75. So seeing this guy relive a dream I had and in area that is close to me made me very happy! Also it's rare to see Superior winds calm so that's another aspect to jumping that beast!
Loved this video... You rocked it...This inspired me to do a video on the 2019 Continental Cup in Iron Mountain MI. I was blown away by the size and commitment of everyone involved. Thx
+rrndom I jumped on black ones, the biggest. Maybe they are bigger in Canada and USA, it was in Norway. Didn't do any tricks. It's pretty sick and the landing can be very rough when you touch they ground with your skiies. But pros like Sammy know how to land. Sweet video!
It's sick and Sammy is the man, just want to point out Jesper Tjader and others hit a ski jump in Norway for the 2013 ski film Supervention... Not switch though! Wow.
Mr Supercynsky got it right. Sammy got lots of sisu, but would have had even more if that failed landing wouldn't have been his last jump. Altogether, amazing performance from this daredevil!
“Ya know does uh US steel make your jockey shorts because you got some frickin Steel canolies if you’re comin off dis thing switch” perfect representation of the Midwest 😂 I love it here
Wow, not doubt that Sammy is one talented athlete, skier going through that age that balls are bigger and heavier than the brain!!! Lots of balls and amazing skiing skills!!!! Congrats young guy! Stay safe!
+uieluck The elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. You are walking up stairs that are UNDER the ski platform. You are on old steel grates with a chain link perimeter enclosure. When you look at the jump and the wooden stairs, you realize how old the facility is with a lot of broken boards and such. Rewatch the video and you'll probably be a little freaked out.
Unofficially at 522ft in 1994(last event). The hill is capable of way more though. They lowered the angle of the launch, and nobody used the top start gate simply because they ran out of room on the landing hill.
Does anybody know what the original song is called? I believe this version was made for this video, but I can't remember who made it originally. Thanks
Everything is the biggest in the world when you world ends at the your boarder. I will never get this attitude that everything’s the best in the WORLD just be an US American.
The STRUCTURE is 260 feet or so above the ground it sits on. If you are on the top and the chain link fence fails, you fall 260 feet to the ground below. The actual jump height is on the small side for ski flying. The difference is that most of the big jumps are built into the side of a mountain... meaning if you fall from the top of it, you drop only 5 to 10 feet before you hit the ground. I have been at the top of Copper Peak. I have walked the last 6 stories from the top of the elevator to the top of the jump... looking down through grated, see through stairs with the only protection from falling of being rotten plywood and chain link fence. Until you make that walk yourself, please reserve any doubts about what it is like. The place is AWESOME!
Michigan doesn't have mountains so they build their own
Actually we do have them, they aren't Rockies or anything, but they are mountains
+Dakoda Koziol ?
+LlamaCombustion He's saying its in the eye of the beholder... you may see them as mountains. But most of us see them us hills..... and yes you could say they are technically mountains... but no
If it doesn't go above timberline it's not a mountain.
Tycho not true
brings a smile to my face knowing that even a little bit of life was breathed back into that ski jump

kpd987 very true! Come back if you can though, I’m sure it’s unrecognizable!
why the hell would leave metal rods on the side of the landing unprotected.
If you ever see it in the summer there are rock formations on each side of the hill and the metal poles mark where the rocks begin.

There is no risk assessment. It hasn’t been used since 1994.

wonder how concentrated with that landing covered with 54 steelpoles each side that could break your bones.

Congrats to copper peak….scheduled to be renovated and hold its first ski flying event in 2025, since 1994.
So amped for the Sammy C Project.
He almost landed the "side flip" when he fell at the end :D. Amazing! Respect to him!
love that midwest accent
Truly awesome! No way i would go up there...
Why the fuck are there metal stakes in the ground down the sides of the landing area though?
Safety. In case he goes off to the side.
That's the complete opposite, how is it safe to have metal poles sticking out the ground by the landing area. If he didn't manage to get back in to the middle he could of got killed by hitting them at that speed.

Crazy ramp, mad skills, amazing footage! Man did my heart fall when he crashed.
also, if you have ever actually seen a large ski jump like this with your own eyes, you know how fucking mad this is.
+rrndom
When you actually go to Copper Peak and see how old it is (rewatch the video closely) you will think it is even more crazy.
+rrndom I jumped on black ones, the biggest. Maybe they are bigger in Canada and USA, it was in Norway. Didn't do any tricks. It's pretty sick and the landing can be very rough when you touch they ground with your skiies.

+Griphen84 copper peak is the biggest in the world
I didn't know. Cool! Thx for the info!
+Griphen84 NO it is not. The biggest in the word is 200 meters. This is just under 165. It is the largest man made inrun for ski flying though😉
enjoying all of the youtube risk assessors
I can see my favorite ski resort in the background of the first aerial shots of it and at the ski resort, u can see copper peak too. Very cool
just by watching it'd give me the chill. the kid got strong nerve.
It's sick and Sammy is the man, just want to point out Jesper Tjader and others hit a ski jump in Norway for the 2013 ski film Supervention... Not switch though! Wow.
not to mention that ramp was tiny by comparison. this is a ski flying jump, several times that size en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ski_flying
+hobmarg Is there a clip of that, I mean is there a name of a video so I can find it here on youtube?
isn't a GoPro a must for this kind of thing?
jimmy fox lol W
Still one of the most legendary jumps, people don’t have balls like that anymore
That was just awesome! Nice job by all involved in making that happen'. Great skiing!
whats the song with the piano riff? shazam wont let me look it up
This is awesome!
why not just put some giant spikes under the gap aswell so if u do anything but land u get f'ed up
I think the lack of snow cover makes up for any additional hazards to measure the guys 'sack'. which is a big topic for yuppers.
That side flip from ground was lit
Mr Supercynsky got it right. Sammy got lots of sisu, but would have had even more if that failed landing wouldn't have been his last jump. Altogether, amazing performance from this daredevil!
Anybody that’s been to the top of Copper Peak and is finding this video is like “HOLY FUCK!!!”
Balls of steel
Crazy guy ! And crazy spot ! :D
yes... I understand why you chubby jones boys with the heli belly love the gss. you guys nailed it.
I've lived in Michigan almost all my life and have never heard of this
sammys newest edit is insanity
GOOSEBUMPS!!
Landing so back seat, you know he got shin bang
dude still my gimmick I've done this already
Standing at the top at the very end freaked me out more than anything.
“Ya know does uh US steel make your jockey shorts because you got some frickin Steel canolies if you’re comin off dis thing switch” perfect representation of the Midwest 😂 I love it here
I would also put random metal spears on the ski jump landing as well to make things more interesting.
Can you guys make a behind the scenes video of this it would be really cool and love the vid by the way
Wow that's real courage!
After going there I can't believe he did that
Why are thoose metal poles there! geez! awesome jumps! awesome wipe out too!!
So cool
saw this clip on Costco tvs 😎
*Sisu* =Finnish word for grit, determination
why would you line a ski jump with giant metal stakes when you could use spears, spikes, or broken glass instead?
suomi mainittu. gnarly vid guys!
Big balls dude!
He's quite a young man but I don't know if he'll ever become quite an old man.
Damn! He's a brave Man...

It’s Got to be tough climbing those stairs and jumping with that much brass
He seems to barely reach the landing zone. Or am I mistaken? I think the jump they built is smaller than the ones they usually put there.
bbb,.3bge, nmhh1
also 24 story is misleading。 the hill is 24 stories。
That jump is designed for ski jumpers like the one at 0:45... Not freestyle skiers there's a big difference
The STRUCTURE is 260 feet or so above the ground it sits on. If you are on the top and the chain link fence fails, you fall 260 feet to the ground below.
