Whilst cycling on the weekend I stumbled across a well known Norwegian past-time … ski jumping. These crazy Norwegian nutcases launch themselves off stupidly steep ramps whilst on skis. Apparently doing it in the winter is not enough, and so some of the craziest ones resort to doing it on an even crazier plastic hill during the summer months.
Here is the result …
The jumper did get up. Nothing more than damaged pride.
The photos were taken at Linderudkollen hoppsenter near Oslo, Norway.
Skijumping in summer is fun… Better than in winter actually 🙂
I think whether I attempted it in winter or summer, the result would be the same; instant death!
