You will be amazed!<u><i><b>Ski jumpers are amazing!</b></i></u> Evel Knievel has nothing on them for thrill nor distance!<br />
<br />
5 meters (the distance the youngest jumpers go) is 16.5 feet=the distance from the foul line to the basket in basketball.<br />
<br />
10 meters (the distance a strong, young jumper goes off of the 20k at SWSA) is 33 feet=FIRST DOWN!<br />
<br />
15 meters (the distance experienced, young jumpers go) is 50 feet=longer than a coach bus<br />
<br />
and so on...<br />
<br />
65 meters (about the farthest jumpers go off the 70k at Satre Hill-SWSA) is 213 feet=MUCH further than Mr. Knievel's best motorcycle jump ever (130 feet, estimated by this blogger).<br />

Caleb and Charlie travelled north to New Hampshire on a beautiful January weekend to test their skills against the LOC and AOC jumpers. Team SWSA did quite well in event on the 25 meter jump. This was the first competition of the winter and Charlie's first day with new, sweet gear! Caleb finished first in the J4 division with 84 total points and a long jump of 14.5 meters. Charlie finished fourth in the J2 division with 85.5 total points and a long jump of 18 meters.<br />
<br />
Both boys and a crew of others (Chris and Orrin) spent Sunday with Coach Mark tuning up for upcoming events. Progress and fun all around! <br />
<br />
You can find Team SWSA Saturday the 26th at 1pm at Satre Hill in the first home competition. On Sunday the Team heads to Andover, NH for jumps on the k18 and k30 in the morning. There is a nordic combined competition in the afternoon (first lung buster of the young 2013 campaign). <br />
<br />
The Alpine Jumpers will show their stuff all weekend at the hill...great people and great fun.<br />

<br />
More than 25 jumpers were at Satre Hill on Friday, December 28. The hill was perfect and the jumpers were enthusiastic. After a morning of jumping, the athletes were treated to a pasta lunch. Carbo-loaded, they went back to the 20 meter with Coach Ken for an afternoon of learning.<br />
<br />
Parents were on hand to pick up the wobbly legged, hungry, proud kids who spent the day earning their runs. <br />
<br />
What other athletes help prepare their "playing" surface? A great tradition.<br />
<br />
Well done all! See you Saturday! This is just the start of a great season ahead!<br />

Hats off to Julian, too, who was a big help on the 20K Saturday morning.</div><div><br /></div><div>There are no photos with this post...there were lots of very capable photographers catching the action Friday-Sunday. The iPhone can't compete.</div><div><br /></div><div>Again, the SWSA volunteers were remarkable. Weather challenges did not stop them this weekend either. Their good work does not go unrecognized.</div><div><br /></div><div>Finally, it seems like the Eastern Team headed off to Park City with Coach Bliss is a particularly strong one. It is always incredible to host such amazing talent in our town. Junior Olympians and future USA Olympians! Inspiring!</div>Peter Gilberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04484575369723794967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1145309994105324869.post-53348778317247595812012-02-06T05:41:00.000-08:002012-02-06T05:45:02.176-08:00A Must Read!This <a href="http://www.nensa.net/docs/2012/Ski_Jumping_in_the_EAST.pdf">document</a> is available to all on the NENSA website-well done NYSEF.
