Ski-flying
Or that's what they call it Norway. It's also called ski-jump.
The question is simple: how the hell do you learn how to do it? I understand the skiing down a mountain over little bumps etc and being airborne for bit. But how the hell do you work your way up to skiing down a ramp and launching yourself for meters in the air???? Do they just push you down and hope for the best?

I must say that i am dissapointed by your blind support (however implicit) of ANC in your comments on the election blogs. I expected all the rest of them to keep missing the point, but not you my dear. the point is that much of the ANC is using apartheid infrastructure (and has been since even before 1994) to perpetuate their stronghold and partake in unbridled corruption and nepotism. They, most especially Mbeki, are a disgrace to the people they have supposedly liberated, and are infact themselves the biggest obstacle in overcoming the divide between the 'first' and 'second' economy. There are countless examples of my allegations ranging from dealings with Mugabe to our dear raping and embezzling friend Zuma, or even to the countless black 'business' women, who have used their status to defraud the tax payer of millions in claiming bogus construction capabilities so as to secure development rights for low cost housing. Am i racist for pointing at the bellows of smoke that surely has some fire? Is Mbeki and the rest of his 'African Renaissance' propaganda not racist in continually painting the steotypical picture of white people as uncaring aristrocrats that sit comfortably in their first economy homes. Go read his speach in which he made the distinction between first and second economies. He explicitly likens white capitalist pigs to the first and suffering blacks to the second. This neat polarisation smacks of racial steroetypes to me! What about the fat cat black middle class? They are conveniently ignored in ANC Rhetoric, and simply handed more nepotistic BEE deals that help no one except themselves. Do not think that I am a ignorant white boy - I have had first hand experience of all this (qua private interviews with such fact cats etc). I am very dissapointed...

Yeah, alex totally missed the point. Ski-flying is much like the one man bob sled aka bob in the sense that only people who have taken too much speed and mental asylum inmates are allowed to compete
