This looks like the kinda thing that sounds great talking with your friends at home, get yourself pumped up in the days before the trip, get super excited on the way to the ramp, then get out of the car, see the ramp and remember that maybe having a functional vertebral column is kinda nice after all, the kinda thing you’d like to keep for at least a few more days before wrecking it.
I think the scariest part of this would be the initial act of pushing off. There is no going back. No room for error. No room to panic. You are fully committed to control your nerves and steady your body to either survive or zig-zag and die. Yikes!
whereas when you jump out of a plane for a skydive you can actually decide that you want to go back up to the plan if you have second thoughts. right? tha'ts how that works i think.
That was crazy sick. The camera ALWAYS makes hills look smaller and less dangerous. If it looks huge on camera, then the reality of it is absolutely insane.
actually, it's usually the opposite. Go-Pros have a fisheye lens, which can exaggerate things quite a bit. If you watch people doing parkour and what-not, they look like they are flipping over buildings that are 100 stories tall. The act still takes balls of steel, regardless.
no, the fisheye lens makes you look like a goddamned daredevil. my first dirt bike trail ride that i took a gopro on was so misleading that i couldn't let anyone see it in good conscience.

I don't know why this ended up in my feed, but it was really cool. Not just because of the skier, but the friggen engineering and craftsmanship that went into building that ramp. And of course, the way you can strap a camera to your head. Just a whole bunch of amazing stuff going on in this one minute video. Maybe thats why it showed up in my feed. Because I too, am amazing.
Scariest part (for me) is the risk of falling while still on the ramp. Kinda insane how small that red house look from the top, yet it only took 14 seconds to get there. Insane!
Yes. Another example (much less dangerous situation) is when I go out on rollerblades. I'm not afraid of steep parts of the street. I'm just concerned about my own skill of keeping myself well balanced. I'd say 90% of the right is there.
I stood on the edge of a ski jump in the summer once, and that's when I seen how steep an angle it is. It looked almost vertical down. That's crazy to me. I wish I could do that, but at my age I'll pass.
videos always seem to soften the angle, we have a hill here where they do cheeserolling, it's widely publicised but until you go and stand at the foot of the hill you can't appreciate how sheer it is.
Same here. My first thought: I'm too old for that. Past mid thirties you would want to pass. Bones, cartilages and all that. As you get older you notice how great your younger body was. I have no issues, I cam jump, run, do sports, whatever. I just know that my bones and cartilages wont deal so well with shocks, that I wont have the almost supernatural healing power and resilience of youth.
The amout of Guts this person has and sheer thrill seeking this person is, is bafflingly impressive, props to you bro Edit: I know they dont exactly have the "amount of guts" and they're not exactly "thrill seeking" but its still impressive, I just want to leave a nice comment.
This reminds me of the time I went down a water flume. One flume didn’t have a queue, I soon found out why. Pushing off, the first few feet were okay, then the world disappeared beneath me! I swear if I could have got any breath I would have screamed all the way down 😱
How scared are you when you do this for the first time?... I never understood the sport but the self control that is necessary to do this always impressed me.

It’s bananas that the way you start this whole thing is you stand on some wooden steps, which in the winter are covered in snow, you slide out on what is essentially a park bench with no back or anything to hang on to, and then you just let it rip. Like GETTING there is hard, then you’re going for a casual FLIGHT, have to land, then not totally eat it when you do. Braver than me! I used to speed skate and thought THAT was a bit crazy, but these guys are bold.
this is absolutely terrifying. I just think about how trains sometimes can go over parts of a track that may not be up to snuff in terms of maintenance and can skid or screech and almost derail themselves (I'm looking at you Amtrak). But instead of a train, it's a human being buckled to skis. There are just far too many ways to die in this situation.
Wow! 😯. I stood at the top of one of the Planica jumps in Slovenia many years ago and just looking down was scary 😧. Big respect to all ski jumpers for their skill and nerves.
I watched the tiny kids practice at Lake Placid in NY - very impressive. The smaller hill looked like something anyone could work their way up from - I would probably give it a try in my age if I had a chance. They also have pools filled with water for the free style skiers to practice their flipping jumps into.
Lake Placid i hear is absolutely dope. I work around Lake George at the Sagamore in Bolton, and i had the opportunity to go to Lake Placid for a week at another property we have but i turned it down because it’s not quite the situation i was looking for. But I’ve always wanted to go and be there. It sounds awesome and was always on my list
@@orangepants5749 It always confuses me how people from the US always talk online like they're only talking with people from their own country. It's an international stage, and you're the only nationality that does that.
Hours of prepping & practicing in addition to walking those stairs just to slide for less than 20 seconds. I've waited two hours just to ride a roller coaster that lasted about 90 seconds so to each their own, I suppose. Very impressive & interesting to see without the snowy backdrop.
@@shanewilson9924 It's not as crazy as it seems. They start small and work their way up to the 70 and 90 meter jumps. The landing hill is angled so you are never more than 30 feet off the ground, which is plenty, but you follow the hill pretty close as you descend, once the physics and angles come int oplay it's actually a lot less dangerous than it seems. The speed is the real problem, you screw up on the down track, and you can get really fucked up, but a fall once you jump doesn't usually end up in serious injury. Men's downhill , which is faster, has equal descents with odd angles, ice, and 130kmh speeds, wearing a skin suite and zero give is far more dangerous. And the stats show it. These jumpers jump from the time they are little kids, and do baby hops , work their skill and confidence up. In fact, the real danger is anorexia it's the scourge of the sport as jumpers try to gain strong legs, and light upper bodies, totally un natural, but every ounce counts when your trying to fly..
@@planegaper still pretty crazy speeds, i ride a bike and wear the gear so it seems crazy to me but guessing you wouldn't do it unless you have a love for the sport.
When I was in the Alps, there was a truck full of little Swiss kids that were driven to the top of one of those things. I sat at the bottom watching them come down. What brave little souls, I'm not sure I could do it while sober.
it is both scary and dangerous, but it isnt as dangerous as it looks. Even if you would land all wrong, the slope is made in such a way that the impact is "manageable". It will probably hurt like hell, and you can definitely brake bones, but most likely you will survive ^^
I have always wanted to try this but now I'm to old😪 but the bravery it takes to do so hasn't been lost. Be safe have fun and a good day thank you for sharing!!!
As a lifetime ski enthusiast, I wanted to see those ramps first hand. And believe me guys, when I was sitting up there there would have been no way (zero) I would have pushed myself off that bench. This was huge, incredibly steep and really scary. From above you cannot even see where you're supposed to land.
This is definitely a hell no, but jumped in the military with technically "2 backpacks", where the primary opens via static line and reserve which you pull if there's any time left. We jumped @1,250 feet only so not much time to figure things out lol
I jumped out of a perfectly good plane and came down with a chunk of nylon. Seeing THIS dude made my palms sweaty. Hard pass, hell no. I'd much rather break every single bone in an instant than every single bone over a looong tumble down some wooden stairs.
What’s the go pro effect? Wider lenses tend to make things look bigger/steeper. I’m sure this is steep AF but it’s not as big or steep as it looks in the video
@@thetreeking8001 ok. I watched this video on my phone. I didnt know it was wide angle. When you use a go pro, it makes it look less steep, impressive, etc. For example when I watch mountain bike videos of local trails the go pro effect makes the downhill parts less steep, the jumps and drops less impressive compared to real life.
@@photonigarcia From Wikipedia on lens distortion: “Extension or wide-angle distortion can be seen in images shot from close using a wide-angle lens (with an angle of view wider than a normal lens). Objects close to the lens appear abnormally large relative to more distant objects, and distant objects appear abnormally small and hence farther away - distances are extended.” Wide angle lenses (the type go pros and other action cameras use) distort the image, causing close objects (the ramp) to look larger and far away objects (the landing area) to look smaller. This causes the overall ramp to look much larger and steeper than it is in reality. There are even videos on how to make a trail, ramp, or jump look steeper and larger than it is for people who ride mountain bikes and other action sports.
I like how he double checked his ski's before heading down....if it were me and this were my video the whole video would just be me checking them ski's 😂
@@rokpodlogar6062 not sure, don't they, must be, I gather..... all words from a man who can not commit... these are your words. So from my perspective the advice I have for you is have more confidence within yourself!.....back yourself. Being called a dick is playfulness I wasn't going in for the kill loosen up
In 1979 I was in Grimstad Norway visiting my brother. While walking by the jump at the high school I spotted the younger brother of a girl I liked coming down the hill and making a perfect landing. Being a smart ass I said that was good now do it with one ski;...so without hesitation he handed me one of his skis and did just that. Another beauty landing as well. Ah to be young and fearless.
Nah, on the biggest hills in the world you get like a 110 km per hour max, large hill is already at down to around 90 kph (sorry for not using miles, but just around everywhere kilometers are the standard and shown on TV)
I wonder what speeds they reach on these all year round dry slopes? They must have to keep those running rails free of obstacles for a smooth unimpeded exit. 😎
I understand this looks scary but when you have something attached to your body that becomes a part of your body through experience - it makes you somewhat superhuman. That's what Batman is all about.
Yeah um.. I was thinking the same thing. That looks like artificial turf, like they use on golf courses. I couldn't imagine the roadrash from something like that.
I looked down one of these jumps(probably a bigger one) at Lake Placid several months ago. Absolutely absurd seeing it in person. I have no clue how anyone has the balls for this sport
Same here, but in my case it was in Moscow, 1989, looking down one of the jumps used for the Winter Olympics (sometime earlier in the 80s). I'm not scared of heights, but that looked absolutely terrifying.
@@leonnehaaijman4709 You were in Moscow in 1989? That must have been a pretty interesting place! What was it like, hanging out in the Soviet Union at that time? Was it hard to get in? I suppose Gorbachev’s reforms must have softened the crazy Soviet stuff somewhat, but it still must have been pretty wild.
@@gr8sword97, it was an organised trip through a travel agency, so my mum didn't have to do any organising (all WE had to do, was get visas). This was before Coca Cola and McDonald's arrived, no neon advertising or anything. I accidentally stepped off the pavement in Red Square and was reminded by a man in uniform to stay on it. That's about as 'crazy Soviet' as it got. Everything we did (we also stayed in Leningrad for 5 days) was fully organised and done as a group. As Westerners in our bright clothing, we stood out like a sore thumb, hahaha!
I could easily do the same thing in at least 3 hours. 1 hour to muster up the courage. 1 hour to think about the many ways I could get hurt 20 minutes going down while sitting. 20 minutes stopping to cry 20 minutes going down but still stopping and seating and crying. 1 minute going down with muscles terribly tense and hoping for the best. 19 minutes stuck to the tree that breaks my fall and then I climb back up to the top to start all over again. Been skiing this way for years!

You need at least 70 power stars otherwise you can do the backwards long jump glitch.
Here before this blows up
わぁ。。。
ほぼ、壁を降りてるんやなぁ。
しかし、着地まで意外とあっという間！
Thanks for taking me along for the ride. Incredible.
It’s crazy to think that the Olympic version of this is like 50 times bigger
250m
820.21 feet.
Got to keep it American.
Warning:
Any dislike of this may result in drones.
I used to do ski jumping but had to stop. Still love seeing these videos and reliving the adrenaline of each jump.
Do you know where this jump is?
I remember seeing one in michigan as a kid. It was very impressive, even from the road. You guys got some brass balls
What kind of speed do you get when you hit the bottom? I'm in australia so never seen anything like this.
@@shanewilson9924 It's not as crazy as it seems. They start small and work their way up to the 70 and 90 meter jumps. The landing hill is angled so you are never more than 30 feet off the ground, which is plenty, but you follow the hill pretty close as you descend, once the physics and angles come int oplay it's actually a lot less dangerous than it seems.
The speed is the real problem, you screw up on the down track, and you can get really fucked up, but a fall once you jump doesn't usually end up in serious injury. Men's downhill , which is faster, has equal descents with odd angles, ice, and 130kmh speeds, wearing a skin suite and zero give is far more dangerous. And the stats show it.
These jumpers jump from the time they are little kids, and do baby hops , work their skill and confidence up. In fact, the real danger is anorexia it's the scourge of the sport as jumpers try to gain strong legs, and light upper bodies, totally un natural, but every ounce counts when your trying to fly..
Can I ask why you had to stop. Its OK if you don't want to share.
@@planegaper still pretty crazy speeds, i ride a bike and wear the gear so it seems crazy to me but guessing you wouldn't do it unless you have a love for the sport.
That was freakin amazing, thanks for letting me experience that.
Anybody else here old enough to remember the intro to Wide World of Sports in the 70's where the guy falls off the jump right before launch??
"The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat."
If you’re looking this video it’s time to sleep😂
That feeling when you know someone's about to break their arms and legs, but you can't stop watching...
If it even looks on camera fast, IT IS really fast 😅
I'm not saying that it's slow, but fish eye lens makes things look a lot faster
I’m just here for history.
But failed to create history
When I was in the Alps, there was a truck full of little Swiss kids that were driven to the top of one of those things. I sat at the bottom watching them come down. What brave little souls, I'm not sure I could do it while sober.
Apparently if you don't start doing it as a kid you have very little change of starting later...
Then dont be sober 😂
"Feels like I'm wearin' nothin' at all!"
Sir, your suit burned off in the descent into the atmosphere.
That’s insane
Imagine you’re slightly out of alignment
I feel like this is more scary that normal skiing on snow but idk I’ve never done either
Skiing on snow is much safer. You misstep or fall on this. You breaking bones.
The ski's are in a groove, you can't get out of line.
it is both scary and dangerous, but it isnt as dangerous as it looks. Even if you would land all wrong, the slope is made in such a way that the impact is "manageable". It will probably hurt like hell, and you can definitely brake bones, but most likely you will survive ^^
@@tmilesffl tell that to the landing, lol
Ive snow skied once , well , I actually rolled off a mountian slope once but I was wearing skis at the time 😅
I have always wanted to try this but now I'm to old😪 but the bravery it takes to do so hasn't been lost. Be safe have fun and a good day thank you for sharing!!!
Too old to let gravity pull you down an incline while locked into tracks?
Never to late mate
If I was sitting on that bench, I'd be thinking, "Okay...this is the last day of my life."
As a lifetime ski enthusiast, I wanted to see those ramps first hand. And believe me guys, when I was sitting up there there would have been no way (zero) I would have pushed myself off that bench. This was huge, incredibly steep and really scary. From above you cannot even see where you're supposed to land.
This, to me, is as big a Nope as jumping out of an airplane with a backpack that has a sheet with strings in it. Kudos man.
I've never in my life heard of 'bagback'
Only bookbags and backpacks.
Ima use that one now.
Much bigger nono
@@everetthancock2043 Ha. Massive brainfart on my part xD It happens.
This is definitely a hell no, but jumped in the military with technically "2 backpacks", where the primary opens via static line and reserve which you pull if there's any time left. We jumped @1,250 feet only so not much time to figure things out lol
I jumped out of a perfectly good plane and came down with a chunk of nylon.
Seeing THIS dude made my palms sweaty. Hard pass, hell no. I'd much rather break every single bone in an instant than every single bone over a looong tumble down some wooden stairs.
Damn, even with go pro effect kicking in it still looks steep. I can't imagine how it really looks in person.
What’s the go pro effect? Wider lenses tend to make things look bigger/steeper. I’m sure this is steep AF but it’s not as big or steep as it looks in the video
@@thetreeking8001 ok. I watched this video on my phone. I didnt know it was wide angle. When you use a go pro, it makes it look less steep, impressive, etc. For example when I watch mountain bike videos of local trails the go pro effect makes the downhill parts less steep, the jumps and drops less impressive compared to real life.
Steep
@@photonigarcia From Wikipedia on lens distortion: “Extension or wide-angle distortion can be seen in images shot from close using a wide-angle lens (with an angle of view wider than a normal lens). Objects close to the lens appear abnormally large relative to more distant objects, and distant objects appear abnormally small and hence farther away - distances are extended.”
Wide angle lenses (the type go pros and other action cameras use) distort the image, causing close objects (the ramp) to look larger and far away objects (the landing area) to look smaller. This causes the overall ramp to look much larger and steeper than it is in reality. There are even videos on how to make a trail, ramp, or jump look steeper and larger than it is for people who ride mountain bikes and other action sports.
Toni, are you done playing with yourself in public yet?
I like how he double checked his ski's before heading down....if it were me and this were my video the whole video would just be me checking them ski's 😂
I'd double check everything including adding a long piece of duct tape to keep my helmet on apart from the helmet strap
not sure if it's checking. don't they have to unpin the heal for flight part purposes?
@@rokpodlogar6062 so what you are basically saying is "your not sure"? Haha Dick
@@spitzndtruth1484 i gather your quick resort to name calling must be the result of lack of recognition by your peers?
@@rokpodlogar6062 not sure, don't they, must be, I gather..... all words from a man who can not commit... these are your words. So from my perspective the advice I have for you is have more confidence within yourself!.....back yourself.
Being called a dick is playfulness I wasn't going in for the kill loosen up
와 ...tv에서 볼때는 몰랐는데 진짜 높다...스키점프 하시는 선수분들 존경합니다
Samsung.
FFFFFFFFF
In 1979 I was in Grimstad Norway visiting my brother. While walking by the jump at the high school I spotted the younger brother of a girl I liked coming down the hill and making a perfect landing. Being a smart ass I said that was good now do it with one ski;...so without hesitation he handed me one of his skis and did just that. Another beauty landing as well. Ah to be young and fearless.
*me, a man who's never skied in his life*
"I could probably do that"
I know this dude's an expert when handling ski jumps (with and without snow) but that looks hella terrifying and dangerous looking too
He made it looks easy... I will definitely quit just to look at the track, from the ground, heheh
Ah yes, the great Mayan Temple of Breakyourlegs
🤣🤣🤣
Never mind the jump, what about the splinters from that lump of wood he slides across...
😲
Hahaha!!!
You're like that one guy as a kid that saw a clothes basket...and a staircase and wanted to see if Darwin was paying attention that day.
It’s amazing how easy they make it look
my grandmother went to school like that every day
This should be at most theme parks and fairs! Looks like a fun ride.
With an overhead rope attachment attached to a secure vest clip it isn’t an impractical suggestion.
This footage was terrifying but also seeing this person do like five million safety checks before starting was a comfort
To anyone wondering how big this hill is and where it is: this is a 60-meter hill in Vennesla, Norway.
Nobody cares
Thanks K. I was wondering that.
Thanks man. Really helpfull of you!
That was ridiculously high and got to the bottom in like 6 seconds flat.. must have hit nearly 100mph
Nah, on the biggest hills in the world you get like a 110 km per hour max, large hill is already at down to around 90 kph (sorry for not using miles, but just around everywhere kilometers are the standard and shown on TV)
So it was 60 mph?
@@solarp1guy Yup, pretty much, maybe a bit less since this hill does look like normal size and not large
kph*
Shut up nerd.
I would be so scared
Fr it's super scary
Er, I'll stick to watching this on my computer screen, thank you very much. Props to the ski-jumper.
That was amazing! Brass balls!
Если ты любишь спорт то отсутствие снега тебя не остановит. Браво!
I wonder what speeds they reach on these all year round dry slopes?
They must have to keep those running rails free of obstacles for a smooth unimpeded exit. 😎
Wow what a work out climbing that nice jump
Imagine how far he could jump without these giant diamond balls pulling him down
Huh, there's no snow. This must be from the Sochi Olympics.
I understand this looks scary but when you have something attached to your body that becomes a part of your body through experience - it makes you somewhat superhuman. That's what Batman is all about.
I can't imagine missing the landing let alone lose balance and crash...do these suits protect from such friction or no? Amazing view though 😀
They are designed to let you glide further when you take-off. They have limitations as to the size of the suits.
The suit is a portable body bag! :)
Yeah um.. I was thinking the same thing. That looks like artificial turf, like they use on golf courses. I couldn't imagine the roadrash from something like that.
They are protecting you from beeing naked lol
The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat...
I looked down one of these jumps(probably a bigger one) at Lake Placid several months ago. Absolutely absurd seeing it in person. I have no clue how anyone has the balls for this sport
Same here, but in my case it was in Moscow, 1989, looking down one of the jumps used for the Winter Olympics (sometime earlier in the 80s). I'm not scared of heights, but that looked absolutely terrifying.
@@leonnehaaijman4709 You were in Moscow in 1989? That must have been a pretty interesting place! What was it like, hanging out in the Soviet Union at that time? Was it hard to get in? I suppose Gorbachev’s reforms must have softened the crazy Soviet stuff somewhat, but it still must have been pretty wild.
@@gr8sword97, it was an organised trip through a travel agency, so my mum didn't have to do any organising (all WE had to do, was get visas).
This was before Coca Cola and McDonald's arrived, no neon advertising or anything. I accidentally stepped off the pavement in Red Square and was reminded by a man in uniform to stay on it. That's about as 'crazy Soviet' as it got. Everything we did (we also stayed in Leningrad for 5 days) was fully organised and done as a group. As Westerners in our bright clothing, we stood out like a sore thumb, hahaha!
Reminds me of my second time skydiving. Its worse than the first, because then your body knows what you're up to and panics earlier.
Это страшнее, чем прыгать с парашютом!!!
I remember being on the top of the ramp in Trondheim, it was so high !!! You need a large amount of guts to do this !!
스키점프를 저런식으로 연습하는거였구나 신기하다 ㄷㄷㄷ
That's the guy from all those physics problems
ruclips.net/video/kjqxJQwORlI/видео.html
I could easily do the same thing in at least 3 hours.
1 hour to muster up the courage.
1 hour to think about the many ways I could get hurt
20 minutes going down while sitting.
20 minutes stopping to cry
20 minutes going down but still stopping and seating and crying.
1 minute going down with muscles terribly tense and hoping for the best.
19 minutes stuck to the tree that breaks my fall and then I climb back up to the top to start all over again.
Been skiing this way for years!
Lol..
Лыжи закреплены шлем, очки, перчатки надеты, 9 жизней с собой, ПОГНАЛИ....
People in the comment section were really hyping this up...but that was honestly pretty tame, the slide down was scarier than the jump itself.
This is the kind of thing that needs absolute perfection. A slight change in the position could make all the difference between life and death.
The youtube algorithm must do its work
absolutely terrifying
This looks amazing
No matter the climate, at that height & elevation I'd be scared shitless. Kudos to that person.
By only watching also my leg is shaking
Appreciate Eddie " the Eagle" Edwards a whole lot more now
Awsome maan
It would of been nice to see it from another angle as well
Snow seems like it would make it harder.
No, snow is definitely softer. 🧐
You think that until you fall and hit nothing but sod and hardwood.
@Taistelu_pelto by plastic stuff you mean wooden stairs with sharp edges?
@Taistelu_pelto Im not familiar to the sport, so you might be correct... but I really think, if you rolled in a fall there, it would be your end.
