Skiing

Dumont is known for his exceptional amplitude in half-pipe competitions, regularly reaching heights up to 20 feet (6 m) out of the pipe, and for his signature big-air trick, the superman double-frontflip. In 2006-07, Dumont overshot a 100-foot (30 m) jump in Park City, Utah, by some 80 feet (24 m), landing flat, rupturing his spleen and breaking his pelvis in three places, but he returned to skiing only two months later.^{[citation needed]} In 2009 he won the X Games Big Air competition by landing a double-frontflip.^{[1] DUMONT Simon - Athlete Information - VONAQ}
