ok i just got back from a trip to salt lake with my school (DECA) and we went and visited the olympic village... because the olypic's are over (of course) we got to go every were the you couldn't...like the start gate of the 120 meter ski jump.... i kinda use to laugh at it but after seeing how steep the in-run is i about shit my pants. i just wanted to see if any of you have seen it first hand to and if you were as impressed.

hey i lost my virginity... did any of you guys find that by any chance?

 
yeah man..i jumped off it

i'm on the canadian national development team...i've been to park city like 6 times this year for training and comp...those jumps are so sweet!!!! (i went 120 meters on the big one...that's 387 feet) glad to hear our sport is getting some recognition from the freestylers!

 
you should see the jumps in planica slovenia...world record is 225 meters (750 feet) it's impossible to explain what 8 seconds of air time feels like

 
Ya I checked out the one at Calgary and its scary, I thought I was gonna fall and die!

Good friends tell you about the time they nailed that broad....BEST friends reach over, tag your hand, and say 'YOUR TURN'

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get that out of the way, then go live in an old folks home, then you should get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then on your first day at work you should get a gold watch. You work 40 years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement, you go drinking and partying, then get ready for high school. You go to elementary school, become a kid, you play, you have no responsiblities, you become a little baby, you go back and spend your last 9 months floating around in a spa and then you finish up as an orgasm!
 
ya man i totally dig olympic ski jumping.. it's so crazy how they barely move their hands and it affects their flight... it's looks so phatt

Smoking pot leads to uhh... I forget.
 
PocketROcket, Did ski jumping help u out with freestyle skiing??? like to get balls to try tricks and do big gaps or in any other aspect of are sport?

 
HELL YA...4 years ago before i started i would hit tables, land on top and do like...straight airs, plus, no skill on cliffs, no balls anywhere...after 4 years...i'm hucking d-spins, dropping 25 footers...it's been the second biggest influence in my life (#1 being a trampoline in the backyard)

 
I've wanted to get into it... but there really aren't any ski jump clubs around..

hey i lost my virginity... did any of you guys find that by any chance?

 
ski jumping looks hella hard...but the olympiads make it seem all easy. does it actually take a lot o skill?

tom to nick- 'so what time is this skiing for you?'

nick to tom- 'my 1st time'

me to nick without tom there- 'so how did you do with your first day?'

nick to me- 'i fell alot' *pouts*

nick to his friend ian when he doesn't know im listening- 'yeah see last weekend i went skiing and i went down this TRIPLE black diamond! it was like sheer ice!'

me to tom and tom to me- 'hahaha! he's such a liar'
 
Yeah, I wish I had those balls...I can huck cliffs but that looks way scarier! A huge ass steep to a huge ass jump landing a hudge ass groomer. Props PocketRocket!

it takes a lot of skill to go far...once you're used to the jumps, and not afraid of them (didnt take long to get used to them once you get to the bigger jumps) all you have to do is focus on a really powerful take off, at the exact right time, in the right direction....after that, you enjoy the hang time, try to strectch as far down the hill as you can, and stick a mad ass tele landing
