Yeah the blonde haired girl is the one from that documentary 20 seconds of joy.

Thats right.
And one of the guys in the video is Olympic champion and multiple world champion Lasse Kjus. (Alpine skiing)
Actually, all of the persons in this video are extreme sports athletes.

I'm in upstate New York and the video worked fine,

Thanks.

except I couldn't understand a word they were saying.

The Norwegian national television network NRK have made a 12 episodes tv series about extreme sports. They have released this clip from the next episode. I know that the ad before the clip is annoying, but it's worth the wait.
Extreme flyby in Sognefjorden

(I don't know if the video will work outside Norway. Please let me know.)

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.

Sounds like V8's

Most likely Chevy small blocks

You're right about that. Power ranging from 700 to 1000 HP in the "Unlimited" class.
Some photos I have taken is located in this album.
Apparently skydivers are not the only ones with"No shit, there I was" moments.

I have to admit that I'm not really into motorsports. But each year the local offroad driving club invites the best Formula Offroad drivers in Scandinavia to a weekend of madness in a large sand quarry.
Combine some crazy icelandic guys, homebuilt cars with huge nitrus oxide injection and paddle tires, 70 meter tall walls of sand, and you get a lot of fun.
And of course, we all want to see the big spectacular crashes.
Can't wait until next year.
See for yourself, here's some footage I shot in 2007:Formula Offroad crashes, Norway

May I help you, I live in Norway.

"Call Of The Wintermoon" by the norwegian black metal band Immortal must be the most ridiculous music video ever.
The worst thing is that these guys really are trying to be scary, but end up just looking pathetic.

Congratulations to all three of you Marc. I will pray for you and your little boy.
I know what you are going through, one of my girls where born almost eight weeks premature and spent three weeks in the NICU. Today she is a healthy, smart and active little 7 1/2 year old angel.

1. My sister giving birth iany day now. I'm finally going to be an uncle again, 10 years since the last time.

2. Going on a two day ATV (all terrain vehicle) driving course next week.

3 Celebrating the norwegian constitution day (tomorow, may 17th) with my kids. Ice cream and hotdogs for everyone.

I guess that they are either Hanging around,
taking a nap,
watching television,
ripping apart my kid's stuffed animals,
contemplating about the mysteries of life,
or they could simpy be exhausted after running around the house all night long.

The brown cat is called Pål, and the red/orange one is called Pus

I'm too fat. I would probably break the bull.
(That's my excuse anyway)

Andrea, Peter, thank you for organizing this.

I do not like beer at all. Yuck.

Ural motorcycles were quite popular in Norway 10-12 years ago. They are cheap, but you better be prepared to spend a lot of time being a mechanic.

Yes, I have sneezed in freefall , and trust me, it was not a prety sight. The "stuff" that came out froze on my goggles. (Jumping in January in northern Europe can be a cold experience).
