bivar 0 #1 February 12, 2011 Yesterday my children and I went to see the new skiflying hill in Vikersund, Norway, being tested by the best skijumpers in the world for the first time. Those guys can fly. I mean, really fly. A Norwegian jumper set a new world record, twice. I shot this video of the 246,5 meter jump: New record:246,5m The steepest point in this hill has an angle at 38deg., at the 250m mark: 24deg.---------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shah269 0 #2 February 12, 2011 I'm sorry but what is the difference between Skyflying and ski jumping? But wow! Beautiful!Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

CSpenceFLY 1 #5 February 12, 2011 So, I wonder how this compares to the approach angle of a wing suit? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billeisele 122 #8 February 13, 2011 appears that he landed about as far as you can go without hitting the flat bottom of the hill, they'll need to lower the start pointGive one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
