Way Before Sochi, We Kicked It Old Skool. 1980s Ski Flying — And Crashing
Ah, the eighties. It’s worth it just to see the high-tech animation of how ski flying works at around five and a half minutes. Cutting edge, that. Of course, it’s always fun to hear the dulcet tones of old pink eyes Costas, who I always picture in my mind’s eye sitting on a stack of telephone books. Hey kids, ask your parents what telephone books are. I mean, what they were. They had telephone books in the eighties. The yellow ones were filled with numbers that had something to do with a functioning economy, as I recall. We had one of those in the eighties too. Ask your parents about that while you’re at it. They’re right upstairs, on the first floor of the house.

Sad when you want the eighties back!
They have no clue what is happening but the flags at the top of the hill are blowing stiff as a board as if the wind is about 40mph. “So, Jeff, what’s happening?”, “Mmmm…yeah, this is a tough one, Al, I just can’t figure it out”.
