The steeper and more terrifying the ledge, the more committed Russell Bierke becomes, throwing himself over with a level of conviction that borders on reckless — except it rarely is.
His timing is surgical, his positioning precise, and once he's free-falling down the face, there's an unsettling calm to it all. Whether it's a mutant slab in Tasmania or a freight-train reef somewhere spicy, Bierke has built a reputation on making impossible takeoffs look strangely routine.
Hit play to watch Russell throw himself over some of the heaviest ledges on offer.
