Ski Jumper With GoPro Lands Stunning Launch


The Winter Olympics are coming, and athletes around the world are training hard for their chance to compete. One of the more popular and dangerous sports, ski jumping, requires an unimaginable amount of skill, finesse and courage.
That doesn't mean we can't experience the thrill from a safe, virtual distance. Norwegian ski jumper Anders Jacobsen equipped himself with a GoPro during a practice run in Lillehammer, Norway.

The stunning (yet surprisingly calm) view shows Jacobsen barreling down the hill, launching off the jump, and flying through the air for what seems like an eternity. His personal record is an astonishing 230.5 m, or 756.23 ft.
