anyone else watch some of that saturday night. 100 meters distance. They float in the air with their 300 cm skis n 300mm underfoot. It's actually pretty cool but it's the same thing over n over again. I put it on Non-ski cause there's really not too much skiing involved
 
that was already on? shit i can't believe i missed it. that would be scarry as hell. jumping that far not moving a muscle.
 
I saw people practicing in slc and its so much more rediculous in person... like a stick figure sailing a football field with skis on. It definitly takes balls
 
they just had the k95 tonight, i love watching it, it's so damn cool. have you noticed how small these guys are? they'll be like 6 ft but they'll weigh around 135-145lbs. i bet if a wind came in they'd blow right into the crowd.
 
Mad respect to those guys. Flying 300 feet is fucking crazy, anyway you slice it. I'm definitely going to watch the big one (k125) when it comes to Vancouver/Whistler in 4 years.
 
when I guinie jumps that scare me a spread eagle and it feels so sick the wind pushing on the bottom of your skis, like your flying. spread eagles rock.
 
salt lake city, calgary, lake placid; you sorta need to have one of the jumps to host the olympics
 
Dist. jumping is crazy as fuck. Definitley go super far. Its funny when the wipe out.

Imgine doing it for your first time on one of those jumps just lookin down at that icy runway. I'd shit my pants.
