re: Ski Jumping

You might want to want to forget that idea Mr Watts. Ambition is a good thing, falling is a good thing if you learn but landing on yer face at 100kph at so great!!!!!

re: Ski Jumping

Everybody seems to be rather keen on seeing this happen rather than joining me,
except for Richard who appears willing to be persuaded (with weapons).

re: Ski Jumping

There are jumps that they use in the ski show on Wednesday evenings. If you feel confident by then maybe you could offer to be the party piece!!

We went up the original 4 man lift last year and when we were skiing back down came across the ski jump that I think Richard was talking about. If you're really serious then talk to an instructor but make sure you have suitable insurance and that you can snowplough!!

re: Ski Jumping

Well I haven't tried to snowplough yet (except in my front room) but I think that parrallel stopping looks a bit more classy. Although I did once try that at Streatham ice rink and ended up on the floor.

This ski show sounds the business though, I see possiblities of an Evil Knievel style jump over 20 bulgarian bears and a snowplough.

That should get the Apres Ski crowd in the mood don't you think Ellie??!

re: Ski Jumping

when are you going Mr Watts, as this sounds like a show not to miss!!

re: Ski Jumping

Why not hire one of those michelin man outfits so that when you wipe out you will have some padding to break the fall?

re: Ski Jumping

The roofs of the Malina Chalets are a good substitute for a ski jump and the gutters help the take off no end.

re: Ski Jumping

I just feel gutted that I won't be there to witness the spectacle of you jumping over bears, snow ponies and bell ringers!!

Go! MrWatts! Go!!

Have fun and enjoy, but don't break a leg!
