Ski Jumping is one of those things I’ll never figure out how anyone can have the guts to do.

If you've been to a ski jump hill you might notice how low the actual height of the jumper is relative to the slope beneath him.
In winter sports, it’s the men’s downhill that has to be the most treacherous event of them all. And the skeleton (like the luge, but HEAD FIRST down the hill) is like racing at Daytona without a harness or a windshield in the car.

Tell you what, you can actually say that they are NUTS.
Ski flying is really something. I dont even know what the record is now and I would bet its over 700 feet.

Because it’s fun.
It’s like repelling, only sideways.

I’ve stood at the top of the ski jump hill in Park City (2002 Olympic Venue), and OMG it is steep!
