That sort of hugeness was easily worth blowing two knees for! Gawd daym.

[Zom]

239m to stomp, that blows my mind that 1 m makes the difference in the amount of tranny needed to stick it

[Poop~Ghost]

[Lurch]

Aids depth perception.

If I recall correctly, if someone like this guy goes too big in a round of jumping, they cancel the round and start over from a spot lower on the in-run to reduce speed at take-off.

Yes, that is it exactly. The red line you see screaming underneath that dude is the K point or critical point where the transition starts to seriously flatten out. If too many dudes fly past it they scrub the round and lower the start.

That was approx. 730 feet in the air. I figure when he realized he was still 10-15 feet off as he flew the K his asshole puckered so hard it ate his nuts

[time2clmb]

That nothing, watch this one.

Dang...I had no idea Bubbles from trailer park boys did ski jumping

[Split-It]

huge.

but is anal breakage worth the bragging rights of that one??

Being from Norway where ski jumping has a long and proud history, I've seen my fair share of these competitions, in real life and on tv. Planica, where this clip is from, has a k-point of 215 meters, meaning this guy flew 25 meters past that

Points are given for length and style. There are 5 judges that give the style points, where 20 is the perfect jump (which also needs a certain length for the 20 to be given. The highest and lowest score is deleted. I think they deduct 10 points each for a fall and 3 points for a parallel landing. For max points you need to make a telemark landing. Apart from that it's all about even, steady skis, steady arms close to the body etc. This sport is not for possies, that's for sure. Just check out some of the crash videos on youtube.

[grskier]

um, ouch

[eysikal]

This one's pretty awesome.

[adimmen]

This sends shivers down my spine, but I did have to watch it twice.

[jce338]

You guys need to see the carnage in this vintage video. Two of the guys never competed again. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tFs7jVgUeDo

The "medical" team is pretty scary--flipping the the guys over from stomach to back with no concern for the spine. Was this 1980's or 1880's?
