Administrator Stan 18,380 Posted February 14, 2021 Administrator Share Posted February 14, 2021 Not a fan but when I was younger I used to watch a programme here called Ski Sunday and I was obsessed with Ski Jumping I think I was in awe at how they take off and pretty much fly for all of 10-15 seconds. It's quite an art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Tommy 12,615 Posted December 29, 2021 Moderator Share Posted December 29, 2021 I used to watch Ski Jumping back in the day. I saw Sven Hannawald making history by winning all four hills. Haven't watched anything recently, but I usually keep an eye on how the Germans are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannawald is a legit adrenaline junkie, after retiring from ski jumping, he became a racing driver Actually did pretty well, too. I am not a hardcore Ski Jumping fan, but I find it very relaxing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted December 29, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted December 29, 2021 Did skiing in my army days but not ski jumping, I would imagine if it was the big thing then and our regiment allowed it I would have tried it, I loved the skiing exercises in Bavaria in 74.
