    I find it funny that they used a Nordic Combined athlete to show ski jumping, because the US have no good actual ski jumper. Todd is in fact probably better than the actual US ski jumpers (if he trained it full time and not split with XC).

    soulbrother84:
    When you decide to have children, you take on a responsibility that should cause you to put your children first.
    His child, crying herself to sleep because he wants to win a trophy or medal is just selfish of him.
    It isn't as if he is taking time away from home to save lives or anything else that would be a mitigating factor.
    His daughter is doing without her father so he can try to gain a little glory.
    Poor parenting. No excuse for it.

      The first hills you try are very small. At my local ski jumping center there is a 6 meter hill for learning to stay up with the skiis, a 15 meter hill for learning the take off, a 25meter hill to learning the flying position and then you go to the bigger hills (45m, 64m and on) step by step as you biuld up courage and experience. The big hills of 120m+ are actually quite rare and most competitions are held in a bit smaller hills.

    A couple of years? Start him off on a 30, then 50 then 70.. being he is a grown man.. the speed should not be too much for him.. and since you guys now jump all year round.. he has the opportunity to triple his progress as compared to someone who just had snow and about 4 months out of the year..
