Question: Do you really want your last words to be “…whoa, dude!” or do you want to live a long, healthy life?
That’s exactly what I thought, but this wasn’t the mindset of these two urchins who thought it was a good idea to rip by an angry moose on their snowboards in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. As someone who summers in Jackson Hole (read: once spent two days there in mid-July), I’ve always been told to steer clear of moose as they’re known to be dangerously fast animals.
These two guys were not, in fact, taught that.
Look at this thing barrelling down the mountain at them.
While I want to get by the shitty music these two set this video to, I simply can’t. It’s the only thing that’s taking my mind away from the blatant stupidity that these dipshits displayed while trying to do some backside box slides on their Forum boards. I’m no Danny Kass, but I’m pretty sure that you should be seeking shelter rather than videotaping your boy do a half-ass grind with the GoPro you got for Christmas.
I get it – their stoke level? High. The chance to get a moose in their Vimeo super cut that will amass nearly 150 views from them replaying it over and over? That’s a chance you have to take. But for the love of God, if you’re a little Jackson Hole grom out there who happens to be reading this, please stay away from any and all moose that you come in contact with.
But should you find yourself staring a moose directly in the eye on a green circle terrain park run? Just don’t set it to this shitty music when you inevitably record it with a selfie stick. .

Really wish this ended like the video of the track kid getting taken out by the deer
We had four moose on the blues when I was at Alyeska a couple months ago. They didn’t even shut down the lifts. Alaskans are wild man
This reminds me of Brian Regan’s standup:
“Brian, how do you make a word a plural?” Um… You put a ‘S’ at the end of it.
Brian, no, let me show you.”
So, she asks this kid, who knew everything, Irwin.
“Irwin, what is the plural for ox?”
‘Oxen. The farmer used his oxen.’
“Brian, what’s the plural for box?”
Boxen. I bought 2 boxen of doughnuts.
“No, Brian, no… Let’s try another one. Irwin, what’s the plural for goose?”
‘Geese. I saw a flock… of geese.’
“Brian, what’s the plural for MOOSE?”
MOOSEN! I saw a flock of moosen!
Was really rooting for natural selection here.
That was awesome, music does suck though.
Terrible music but great primer for the deadly animal of the week. Don’t let is down, Wild Bill.
There was a moose cow & calf that ran ~25′ from me at Canyons in Utah last March. Rounded a tree and they were running UP the mountain. I hit the brakes fast.
I came eye to eye with a cow and calf in Montana one time. Slowly backed away then got the hell out of there.
