@OldOllie- where's the fun in that? An true hero would start on the biggest jump he could find and try, try and try again until success! :P |

Gerry: Not bloody likely... Did you even see the edge, youknow the place where you are suppose to do the jump? You need to time it perfectly, just few milliseconds wrong and you drop into midhill. Enough wrong and you slam against the top of the hill going 120km/h with your head first. |

Oh please! I could do that jump easily!
Landing might be a bit problematic though. |

how do you even do that for the first time
You don't. You start on MUCH smaller hills, then you jump from just part way up the larger hills, and you work your way up gradually.
BTW, did you notice the black speckles in the snow at the bottom? Those are there to provide a visual reference so you can tell how close you are to the ground when you're about to land. |

Wow! Everyone seems strangely subdued and mellow for such an awesome thing! I mean, I realize that to them it's very mundane, but, holy smokes!!! |
