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!

Clamb pulling for the bottom of the hill

What a beautiful weekend down in southern Vermont we had for this years Pepsi challenge at Harris Hill! We had some of our top US athletes competing and even some euros made the trip across the Atlantic to see if they could but their name on the famous winged trophy.

Hats go off to Larry Stone, Dan "mouse" Warner and Kenny Barker for getting the hill in great shape. Both days saw the hill record broken by member of the Project X team member Chris Lamb and also some far jumps by teammate Nick Fairall. As a first timer to the new hill it was a great experience to see what the kids could do in the 2nd year of competition on the new hill. To check out full results head to http://www.skijumpeast.com/ and continue to whats new on the web page.

Looking forward to this weekends comps for Empire State Games and some training tune ups for our eastern JO team.
