Ski Jumping | How They Train | TIME

[@braselton94]

I'm more amazed with the coaches standing on the edge and holding them above their heads.

[@albertoaguilar9773]

No doubt this sport requires big guts.

[@Samax13]

whenever i watch the olympics, i always love the ski jumpers. how they have the guts to do that, ill never know.

[@janus2059]

Samax13 I want to know how you start - how do you do it the first time?

[@mayapanos5169]

Daniel Antone that’s what I’m wondering as well

[@albertoaguilar9773]

@@janus2059 I guess first you learn the technique an have a little practice and then you move on to the big jump.

[@ErlendBuflod]

Search kobayashi planica if you want to see something truly amazing

[@Jaburu]

@@janus2059 You probably start on very small ramps and get bigger in steps

His mother was my sons third grade teacher. I watched Todd and many others grow up in Steamboat Springs and marked him on the jumps throughout his career on our local hill

[@thomasweith8442]

I participated in ski jumping at Norge in Fox River Grove, IL in the 1950's. This was great fun!

[@imluvinyourmum]

It really is amazing that physics and transfer of energy can allow a man to travel that far through the air and at that speed unharmed without being inside a machine.

[@respt46]

It's not physics, it's aliens.

[@Fcreveryoung]

Yeah, what the heck? You aren't supposed to give logical responses. You're just supposed to say, "aliens"

[@mar1nc4]

same omg

[@Liofa73]

It's a new Summer Olympic event!

[@JustAThought155]

Thank you for this video. I love this sport!!! Question: how would a jumper increase their distance? I cannot figure out how they get more air and remain airborne on the hill.

[@madisonking8057]

The leg extension right before they get off the ramp.

[@benjamingazdik]

The obscurest of the obscure winter sports? Im pretty that award goes to curling.

[@pdubs7069]

Benjamin Gazdik -Your pretty?

[@gamerfreak5665]

Oh nice, this is Lake Placid! I would be too scared to walk up that 90 meter jump, you can forget about the 120 meter one...

[@kkgilbertson]

Yes, he does! And they kicked ass in Vancouver!! Chris Gilbertson coached them then and to World Championship medals as well.

[@messi9991]

I find it funny that they used a Nordic Combined athlete to show ski jumping, because the US have no good actual ski jumper. Todd is in fact probably better than the actual US ski jumpers (if he trained it full time and not split with XC).

[@lelandlee5008]

THIS SPEED SKATING LUGE AND SKELETON ARE MY TWO FAVORITE EVENTS

[@132verb]

my cousin is going to be in this year's olympics for ski jumping!

I was meant to do this but never have 😩 I’d love to learn but it’ll never happen...it’s amazing

[@funkoverflow1952]

Why not? Is it because of the supernatural swamp aids :/

[@pdubs7069]

Sean you are the true meaning of "agony and defeat"

[@adjo82]

That walk after every jump 😯

[@jaredsmith4919]

What an adrenaline rush, just as awesome as the Biathlon.

[@apriswajaya]

[@temporarymomentary]

He is American nordic combined champion. Not World Ski Jumping champion. Huge difference

[@gwynethpaavola6701]

Lake placid?

[@diamonddog257]

Does he catch him at the bottom of the hill ?

[@bubbleobill969]

does anyone know what that music at the end is? sounds kool

[@Slarti]

They should have played the music "Time of my life" when the reporter did the jump.

[@ake5264]

The reporter didn’t jump

[@IMHanson-video]

@jablka so is that why we dominated in Vancouver?

[@cjhighflyer]

It would be fun in people slide from the hill.

[@troidl90]

i would be so freaking scared. damn

[@Average-e1b]

i tak Małysz jest najlepszy xD

[@한상민-h7s4y]

this ski is light?

[@k21im]

Do the coaches have to stand so precariously on the railing of the wooden deck? I'm confused.

[@nicobowdre4704]

[@maxasaurus3008]

Bill Demog?

[@blurrypapaya6717]

THAT BOY WAS TWELVE?

[@LivelysReport]

A couple of years? Start him off on a 30, then 50 then 70.. being he is a grown man.. the speed should not be too much for him.. and since you guys now jump all year round.. he has the opportunity to triple his progress as compared to someone who just had snow and about 4 months out of the year..

[@ReeceTheTroll]

and if they fall?

[@elmokahkonen8897]

well if they fall they get up again

[@brithopper]

good luck USA

How does anyone get up the nerve for his very first ski jump??

[@pietarisillasto7535]

The first hills you try are very small. At my local ski jumping center there is a 6 meter hill for learning to stay up with the skiis, a 15 meter hill for learning the take off, a 25meter hill to learning the flying position and then you go to the bigger hills (45m, 64m and on) step by step as you biuld up courage and experience. The big hills of 120m+ are actually quite rare and most competitions are held in a bit smaller hills.

[@NotUrBiz]

soulbrother84: When you decide to have children, you take on a responsibility that should cause you to put your children first. His child, crying herself to sleep because he wants to win a trophy or medal is just selfish of him. It isn't as if he is taking time away from home to save lives or anything else that would be a mitigating factor. His daughter is doing without her father so he can try to gain a little glory. Poor parenting. No excuse for it.
