[wrenegade]

I agree, nothing new.

Empire Stadium, Vancouver, 1958.

April 1958: A 165-foot high ski jump hill was erected for the three-day Centennial Ski Jump Tournament at Empire Stadium. Though over 20,000 people attended the event, it's said that 60,000 more watched from outside the fence for free.

[GreenStezz]

[assface]

thats fucking sick, especially for 1958

 

[jpmoneyshot]

There is still something different and that is the fact that Chicago actually gets cold enough for snow to not melt right away so they can have a lot more time to set it up.

 

[ben802]

ridiculous...

 

[Tremblantskier]

thats sick, lets see some more history on that !

 

[BKlein]

[Blandct]

[PacificRimJob]

wow. that puts icer air and freestyle.ch to shame... 50 years prior too...

that said. the guys hitting that had zero steeze.

 

[Klick_2_klaim]

yeah not to mention air and style and the nissan deal over in japan that have been going on forever.

 

[Malczyk]

that's awesome! good find. To my knowledge the Air and Style has been canceled for the due to Nokia pulling out of sponsorship

 

[RuffRydrz]

They did that at the baseball stadium at the top of burnside in Portland too. Way back in the day.

 

[jKutcher]

but those are all Nordic jumps. Icer air was new to our style skiing

 

[Holte]

Looks like a nicer jump than what Icer had two years ago...

 

[RudyGarmisch]

Seriously, haha.
