I saw this video on youtube and I just had to share it with you.  This is a 4th grade girl who is attempting her first k40 ski jump.

You have to turn the volume up on this one.  She talks herself into it and then goes for the jump.  It is all caught on her helmet cam.

As a dad I wonder if my girls will have the courage to try something like this when they are 9 years old.  I have a pretty good feeling that they won’t but don’t your kids always surprise you!

My wife’s brother did a flip off of a 30 foot cliff in Hawaii when he was 8, so the craziness is in the blood! (We have that on video so I’ll try to find the video and show you guys some time.)

Here is the ski jump.  This is awesome!
