Dave, I shot these pictures with a Canon 7D, 28-105mm lens.

I love watching ski jumping at the Olympics! That, and speed skating, are my favorites. Ever since I got a high def TV, the helmet cam on the ski jumpers makes you feel like you’re actually there, soaring above the mountains and the crowd. Like virtual reality!

Imagine the Olympics on a 3D TV…

The photo of Austria winning gold is an award-winner! Besides the perfect timing, it would also accompany the perfect caption: ski JUMP champions!

“each member of the losing team had to drink a bottle of maple syrup. Those poor Canadian guys” Do you think it was
Canadian maple syrup? If so it didn’t bother them to loose, it’s like soda to them.

In response to Paul’s comment – “I’ve always wanted to see some jumping live, but haven’t been able to yet.” – I got to see some great skiing about 10 years ago up in Vermont. It wasn’t Olympic standard, but man it was some good stuff to watch. I haven’t seen them jumping like that either in real life, but I am also determined to see it one day after being bitten by the skiing bug 10 years ago. Great memories.

All the best

I always thought that performing the ski jump would be akin to skydiving: totally exhilarating but challenging and a bit scary. The finesse comes through on television, but it would be fantastic to witness in person.

And — women will ski jump in the Olympics now!

“I wanted to see them fly, and I wasn’t disappointed.”

Man, I bet that was awesome! I’ve always wanted to see some jumping live, but haven’t been able to yet.

I’m envious for sure!
