New world record

[rainmaker]

A new world record in ski flying- 246,5 meter (Ski flying is an extreme version of ski jumping). This happened on friday in Vikersund, Norway.

A bit funny for me since I can see this ski hill from my house window

It is the world's largest ski hill and it has just been expanded. Too bad I was working on friday. Did not have the opportunity to be there.

Next time they're doing it you should go out on your roof with a rifle and whenever someone makes a jump, yell "PULL!"

Thanks for the great advice, I will follow it up next year under the Ski Flying World Championships

I can just use the usual excuse. "I thought it was a moose"

"I thought it was a flying squirrel" maybe?
