Johan Remen Evensen Vikersund 2011 246.5 m new world record

[@vonBUDA]

Congrats Vikersund from Planica. Nice hill, safe jumps. You give us a challenge and we accepted. Planica is a snow queen and Vikersund is a snow king.We are married forever ;)

[@homfencing]

A testament to good technique....both in the takeoff and in his posture creating a little bit of lift.

[@iiwatcher]

Sick shit! The way he adjusted to get that extra distance...perfect. Props.

[@LandisArnold]

Beautiful Nice skiing at night too! Looks like a bit too much speed but who knows. What was the takeoff speed anyway?

[@royalstraightblush]

Great jump! It looks like the hill is shaped out, just for Johan. But still... Back when Romoeren duelled against Ahonen, and landed the 239 jump. Way bigger.

[@buce1111]

Can you imagine not Tepeš and Walter shortened runway as they jumped Evensen then at least 250m, and I'm so glad that he now holds the world record for the place that you Romøren jumped 100m today

[@Snabelfaen]

They are rebulding the profile on the hill so that il will bee 6-7 meter bigger next year, by cutting the jump 1 meter shorter and changing the angle of the jump by a half degree from 11,2 degree to 10,8 degrees and flatening the landingsone from 195 meter mark from 32 degrees, to 30,5 degrees. This is to make the hill even safer so that he hill can handle some updraft, as they had a little problem with the profile. That means a 260 meter jump would bee equivlant to Romørens 239 in planica.

[@ROFOLSKI]

Goodbye Johan From Poland!

[@fabregas134]

This may be the longest, but for me Romoren jump was the most magical.

[@0kissmyass0]

remmember everything starts and end in Planica !

[@SnippyFifa]

Vikersund disagrees...

[@razornfs123]

@ronthedog82 But that's not Kranjec that had wind in the back, it's Morgenstern

[@timclassic]

The last 120 meters he truely is flying like a bird!! That was amazing

[@Trackstar800m204]

That was really cool looking.

[@Sk1LLownzu]

As some of you already said here, Gorisek, the famous Slovenian architect / engineer who builded Vikersund, already planning and drawing plan, which would increase Planica's hill. According to his plans, at 2013 it will be able to fly around 250 / 260 in Planica but in a 2016, he goes even further, he wants to make first jump over 300 metres. I'm not Patriotic, my objective thinking is Planica still 'rocks' :)

[@Ficii1]

@ShaunThaSheep yes the do but if im right the sweden jumper actuly first started to jump with v style

[@sanjoy87]

@ronthedog82 yeah i'm sure 239 can be beaten in planica (if they extend it), but I dont think a new record. FIS/Hofer wont allow it, I think it only happened now, cause this is a new hill and they dont know it well enough to control the lengths as well as in planica.. if anything a new record in planica will only be marginally longer.. all this talk about the planned 300m hill is long into the future, probably another 10 years.. remember it has taken 16 years to go from 200 to 250-ish..

[@TuviaGering]

is michael kane narrating?

[@adamusso_tk]

that Vikersund destroyed the legend of Planica ,that climat on the Velikanka... is genius and impossible to make on that Vikersund... so can't wait for Planica and hope that they'll rebuild her and jumps will be longer.

[@jpatton1989]

This looks like the most fun thing any human can do.

[@Ry3zen]

that was incredible, nuff said.

[@TheDracarys]

@vendurain He is actually a very good commentator and very much interested in the sport.

[@ShaunThaSheep]

@FRiKiJDM I was there and standing in the bottom of the hill it looks almost flat where he landed.

[@hh1n]

He lands it like a plane! Wow!

[@mariusdaniel31]

@vendurain but look when malysz jumped 151.5 m in willingen,commented by david goldstrom(this commentator).you will see how interested he was in 2001

[@Mali648]

I can tell you that record will came back to Planica because they will build larger hill and record will bi abaut 255m but i hope 260m :) Hello from Slovenija!

[@AtleticoNikolai]

@clumsy123 hehe, funny you said that. After all, the longest jump was jumped by Anders Fannemel.

[@Snabelfaen]

They are rebuilding the profile of the hill next year, so the hill will be 15 meters bigger, so if Planica dosen't make 250 meter this year, then Vikersund will make it. So 246,5 meters this year will be equivlant to 261,5 meters next year. The reason for reshaping the profile is for safey reasons. You can clearly see why when Gregor Schlierenzauer jumps 243,5 meter from gate 0, with a 0,3 backwind. Imagine Gregor Schlierenzauer with 1,8 frontwind lifting him down, it would been a disaster.

[@riberyseven7]

Bye Johan. Thanks for this jump! :)

[@1337inzock]

How can 12 people dislike this?

[@pmarko1]

Today's competition started and the camera views are still stupid, you don't get any feeling of how big the hill is and it's difficult also to see or guess how far they really fly. They should really hire a better crew next time.

[@TheBloodgood]

Planica Rules.. can't wait the skijumps there :)

[@pmarko1]

@jonharald1409 What you probably don't know is that the architects of the hill in Vikersund are the Slovenians (Janez Gorisek and his son) and what allowed them to design the Vikersund hill are years of experince from Planica. So quit making stupid comments and be happy that now there are two GREAT hills. What I hope is that today they will fix the cameras and camera positions so we can better enjoy the flights. Yesterday's broadcast was not good at all.

Beautiful skis :))

[@jokic666]

Bjorn einar romoren jumped 239m in planica where hill size is 215m...On the other hand Johan Remen Evensen jumped 246.5m on hill where its hill size is 225m...Talking into a count hill sizes Johan Remen Evensen had to jump 250.11m to be be even with Bjorn einar jump...In simple words if bjorn jump was taken in vikersund he would have jumped 250.11m only based on hill size...I am not taking into a count that bjorn jump was from 2005...

[@FRiKiJDM]

Vikersund @ 246,5m looks piece of cake from viewers perspective, while Planica anything above 230m looks scary as shit :D

[@clumsy123]

With Evensen out of the game the world record will not belong to Norway if there is set a new world record the coming weekend. Most likely it will be japanese or slovenian, not that I would mind.

[@Mali648]

We will get back world record ;D trust me ;D Helo from Slovenia :D

[@sportomanokin]

Finally!!! search for Andre Keissewetter (GER), WR distance jump long 196m, but written down as 192m to prevent wide hunting of world records. He touched the snow with hands. Keissewetter - 196m - Planica 1991 /watch?v=QprM_CYhoiw

[@jerco3]

If we are about to live for 20 more years we will probably see ski jumps record over 300m!

[@nothingnew765]

Seeing him jump reminded me of a flying squirrel.

[@homfencing]

And for those wondering...246.5 meters = a few inches over 808 feet.....damn.

[@skaaaara]

insane! what a hill! and yes, talk about the form of his life. I mean we're speaking about Evensen!

[@gg533]

@Joviwaan but then he'd have slowed down or something, since his bottom would have acted as a stopper.

[@Maxer5ooo]

Vikersund + Planica = True love.

[@sophie8977]

@vonBUDA i just absolutely love your comment xD

[@slaptiss]

I was in the crowd when he landed this jump, it was amazing to watch! Vikersund beats Planica any day!

[@thombogd1022]

Say that again

[@swaguymusicpage]

Damn! He fucking flew!

[@TheDracarys]

@vendurain he's actually very much interested in the sport.

[@nilsaugestad]

He should be in the red bull commercial.

[@jan4naj]

Robert Kranjec will be the next record holder!

[@TheBigDPadLP]

And not a single fuck was given that day.

[@neonpeace88]

Im starting to wonder if he has wings

[@krejpek]

@Contral88 He is director of every competition in ski jumping at the highest class, but I don't know why they pissed at him, sorry. He is for safe of ski jumpers. He decides how much meters can downhill a ski jumper before the jump, so how fast he is when he jump. Slovanians are angry because they had the biggest hill for ski jumping and now, when Vikersund is bigger, every world record will be beat there, but it's not fault of Walter Hofer.

[@jokic666]

@vaseavasikin I am watching ski jumping since i was litlle kid,and i know for sure that hill size of planica is 215m...If you dont belive me check google...

[@clumsy123]

@T3hAmunraaa No passion? It took a lot of "passion" to be able to stand at that length, he struggled not to fall. He is unfortunately completely dependant of wind resistance to be able to jump far, but when he does get the right wind, he takes advantage of it like barely anyone else can.

[@hornvin]

wow, 130 000 views in two days !

[@Overvaag1997]

@Finnishdude107 He retired after when he knew that he got ditched from the Norwegian Team.

[@Overvaag1997]

@AtleticoNikolai AS U CAN SEE THE COMMENT IS OLD, AND THE ARE COMING WITH NEW STUFF EVERDAY, AND I KNOW ALL THE STUFF UR SAYING NOW.

[@quinngir]

Reminds me of a flying squirrel.

[@1amTable8D]

Johan will be back, I'm sure.

[@TorAsbjoern]

This wouldn't have been more than 16.0 - 16.5 in style. British commentator = LOL. But I love the length. :D

[@TuncleUpelo]

Planica: + Best crowd + More spectacular flights + History - Is pretty much maxed out at "only" 239 meters. Vikersund: + 246,5 meters, potensial: +250 - Dull flight (compared to the high flying Planica jumps) - Dull crowd (give them some liquor..) ....and the winner is: Who cares? I'm glad we have two monster hills now. Hopefully Oberstdorf, Harrachov and Kulm will follow suit. Well done Vikersund! btw. Can someone please kill the jury?

[@QuiteSpyrtY]

they would let that happen in planica... or pretty much anywhere else than norway, austria, germany and perhaps finland

[@AtleticoNikolai]

@Overvaag1997 then you shouldnt have said anything before you knew. The same day the message that he retires was the same day you could see him telling everything. ARE YOU ANGRY?

[@AtleticoNikolai]

@Overvaag1997 and the comment wasnt that old.

[@wowbucket]

@NoahHLJ Well, shiiii ..at least we got Nascar right?

[@Zenkka]

someone give the announcer a beer - he needs to loosen up and put some emotion to it

[@thewiseowl]

@vendurain I doubt he would have commentated for Eurosport UK for the past 15 years if he wasn't interested in Ski Jumping. But this isn't one of his finer moments, I have to say.

[@wg390]

246.5 Meters (m) = 808.73 Feet (ft.) = 269.576 yds For English speaking ppl Basicaly he fly almost over 3 american football fields

[@socalrunnerxc]

last 5 seconds of this video made me lol They need to lengthen the pitch and start higher up now eh? He hit the bottom!

[@lucaschmidt8913]

horrible commentary

[@boski05]

They just need to change the camera angel, to get the feeling of distance. Just like at the Planica!!!

[@stopmotionstuff1]

1: pause at 0:00 2: hold down left arrow key 3: press up arrow key 4: have fun playing snake 5: thumbvs up if it worked

[@jureakess]

There is no good feeling to be the owner of world record, if it isn't in Planica, Slovenia.

[@thewiseowl]

@socalrunnerxc They actually put it down 3 gates from 8 to 5 after Evensen jumped. Spoilsports!

[@blazejecar]

I hope Planica is back to being the biggest. This metal monster just doesnt make it feel right :/ Planica FTW

[@distefanodrew]

0:32 "look at that! unbel-oghh"

[@MrCristi53222]

incredibleeeeee

[@AtleticoNikolai]

@Overvaag1997 vell, you are really wrong informed. He retired cause he didnt have motivation, and that his BMI was to high, cause he got to much muscles. And he actually didnt get ditch, he thanked no the the place, because he didnt want to jump in the hill if he knew he couldnt set a new world record.

[@mariusdaniel31]

if there it was sorin hobana,the romanian ski flying commentator,you will don't hear for about 3 days.he cries so loud!

[@PlumpHotdog]

i did that backwards last week

[@2010Napi]

@vendurain why not :) ?

[@Snagabott]

I really hope the comments on this thread don't reflect the general Slovenian.

[@0kissmyass0]

Evensen admited that jumps in Planica are 4 reall flyers and real man. Planica will build new hill 5 meters higer desk. Jože Gorišek constructor of Vikersund says that Vikersund is just preparation for larger hill in Planica. Remmember Planica will go everytime higer and longer ! o yea i cant wait............

[@Overvaag1997]

@sparklingStar225 Yeah I know :(

[@megadog103]

@vendurain He is just a bit old now. Check out this jump: /watch?v=bkt59O8h-lE Or this one: /watch?v=iQnVQ0uPKwo He seems quite excited there!!!

[@jesszus]

If he was wearing the number 47 it could have been 247 meter. :P

[@sanjoy87]

@sanjoy87 or 17 years to be precise..

[@rastapaul23]

When the fuck did this sport comeout? Where the fuck was I?

[@denko238]

@jan4naj no he won't be, thy wont let any more long jumps...and they wont allow to make planica bigger ;)

[@sanjoy87]

forget planica for now, vikersund is the only hill that maxes out the new rules, they cant make planica bigger than vikersund with the current rules just equally large. and the rules wont change again anytime soon -the previous rules were 19 years old, and even with so many years, only planica maxed them out in the end, so now we have to wait for oberstdorf, kulm and harrachow to catch up with the old standards at least, before we can expect vikersund and planica to get even bigger..

[@nickpoker]

He fucking flew

[@tadejstein]

@teole92 planiška skakalnica bo v prvi fazi povečana za 35 m :)

[@TheArsenalBoy96]

@stevekalantzedis i facepalmed my nose off-.- Even if you don't understand a word of norwegian you will probably enjoy the version with the norwegian veteran commentator, Arne Scheie, a thousand times more

[@vonBUDA]

Snow queen and snow king :)

[@vulcans2flames]

I did that once on Wii fit

[@Alemzr]

How is this trending?

[@theasu]

246,5 meters = 8 seconds of flying

[@123pansie]

thumbs up if yahoo sent u here

[@blazejecar]

@jan4naj i hope so :D
