Moderators DennisD Posted March 14, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 14, 2008 I've never been a big fan of televised winter sports. Maybe the downhill an exception, and of course Ski Flying. Ski Jumping off a BIG hill. Watched it live on Eurosport today, and it's amazing stuff. Old video of the world record jump from 2005. Not good quality, but not too bad.

CTskifreak Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I've seen this televised....it's so ridiculous....I'm a downhill skier, but not touching the ground for that long would scare the crap out of me. AJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CeeCee Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I think ski jumping is pretty exotic in US. Although there has been some (decent) ski jumpers from USA. Path Copy TeraCopy Unlocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
