Ski Jumping etc

[BigIain]

Ok... Ski Jumping: How much fun does that look??? I have always wanted to go see it live and as I mentioned in another thread I have pencilled in Innsbruck for it next New Year.
Being out of work, I was watching some Ski Jumping on Eurosport at lunchtime today and it looks like fantastic fun. Anyone tried it?

I was also watching some of the Nordic Biathalon too but it just looks exhausting really.

I find ski jumping fascinating too. But honestly, I don't know how anyone is able to ski down that steep thing knowing it just ends !
What if you fall over ? I know, not very likely but still, I would be shitting myself.
