Torgeir Brandtzæg's 97m in Holmenkollen in the 1960s (1965?) was one of the sickest jumps in history (previous hill record was 84.5m). He fell and got injured badly. I'd love to see a video of that, if it exists
Wow. If he hasn't touched down at that point he would have had to land on a flat surface. Extremely Dangerous. But by doing so he had a less than stellar landing. But for length of flight, that will be hard to beat.
Did he lose points for not landing it cleanly? Did the local airport give him clearance to land? Just kept going & i don't watch this sport but boy, did he give it some beans??
Look at her jumpsuit especially formulated to flare out and catch the wind to keep her in the air longer to extend the fall watch closely the way it's cut and designed
I wonder if they will change the suit design. His crotch seemed to hang very low once he got into position. It was almost like a tiny wing suit section between his legs.
A prime example of finding another way to get an advantage/cheat in sport. Check out the amount of material in the crotch area of his lycra suit. Arent they supposed to be a snug fit. This champ has found a way to make more surface area to be able to fly. WTG hero, I hope it hurt.
