Look: Pro Snowboarder Falls From Sky After Miscalculation

Anyone that knows a thing about snowboarding already knows Ayumu Hirano is tough as hell, but after a fall this past weekend in Mammoth, he might be a super human. The Olympic gold medalist sent it huge on a quarterpipe and from the angle captured by @boardarchive, you can see he travels 20 feet into the air and drops right back down onto the deck, missing the transition he took off from.

The object is to land back in the quarter, but thank goodness the crew had some pads on the deck to break his fall a little bit. It could have been much worse, but Ayumu is used to going massive in the pipe and has had his fair share of falls. We hope he is all good from this one!

For a bit of background on the rider, Ayumu Hirano is a Japanese professional snowboarder known for his exceptional talent and achievements in the sport of halfpipe snowboarding. He was born on November 29, 1998, in Murakami, Niigata, Japan.

Hirano burst onto the international snowboarding scene at a young age and quickly made a name for himself with his remarkable skills and competitive drive. He gained widespread recognition after his performances at the Winter Olympics and X Games. After a few dissapointing podiums for Hirano, he finally captured gold in 2022 after landing the first ever triple cork in the pipe during a full contest run. All that is to say, he is quite used to going huge.
