Ski Jumping is one of the most spectacular sports to watch as these brave and talented individuals leap off a 10 story scaffold, fly through the air with style and poise and land in a 3-4 block outrun still standing up on their skis.
The Current Hill Record was set at the Continental Cup Competition in 2009 by Stefan Thurnbichler of Austria with a jump of 471 feet.
