What a Learn to Fly Wednesday!

Whaddya get when you combine some beautifully manicured ski jumps at the Intervale Jumping Complex with some crisp, warm weather and some jumpers hungry for big air? An epic Learn to Fly Wednesday. With our best turnout this season, we had jumpers throwin' down on all four hills at the complex: K18, 48, 90 and 120. And with several members of the USA Ski Jumping Team on hand to lend some tips and tricks, our new L2F crew managed some awesome jumps on the K18.

And of course, huge kudos go out to Gabby Armstrong, Landon Livreri, Beckett Ledger, Trent White, Karl Schulz and Kaleb Cook for sliding their first jumps off the K48 meter Flugschanze. Did we mention that today marks the one year anniversary of them trying ski jumping last season during Learn to Fly Wednesday? Not sure. But they're diggin' it!

Enjoy the vid. We'll see you Friday, Tele-Tournee from 3-5pm!
