    Send it kid....

    Zia, a 4th grader, takes on the 60M ski jump at the Utah Olympic Park...

    This is the worst pain EVER!

    Amazing courage in someone that young. That was really inspirational. Reminds me of a saying I heard recently... "Courage is when 'Fuck this shit!' is bigger than 'I have a bad feeling about this'."

    Perfect depiction of feeling scared and then elated.

    That was sweet. Damn, there are moments I realize havign a kid would be super cool. Her nervousness then elation were awesome. Can't imagine how proud her parents would have been.

    I must say, as a father of three little girls that made me nervous!!!

    Hope I will have the courage to let them do things like that when they get older.

    That was too cool. Must see vid for my third grade daughter. She's been going to the Bird on Fridays with school. She'd love the stoke.

    Not so sure the wife should see it though...No...Wouldn't be prudent.

    Zia = core
