rach 1 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I saw another post just now about jumping, but want to take that a bit further. I just really want to try real ski jumping and have seen some jumps around (Nozawa, Iiyama, Happo), but how on earth do you get started with that? And do they allow gals?

zwelgen 0 Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 I live in Iiyama and I tell you that they start them very very young. Aparently they have kind of harness things where they strap kids in and launch them through the gym so that they can get used to the sensation of flying through the air. Then they just build them up to bigger and bigger jumps. There is usually a smaller jump next to the big monster one that they let people at to start with. And thats about all I know. If you have never stood at the top of one and looked down then got to Nozawa and you ski right past the half way mark on the way down to the gondola from the skyline course. What can I say? How much of a nutter are ya??!!! Link to post Share on other sites
