Take the Leap: The Ultimate Adrenaline Rush
Child: “Hey, Dad, do people really ski over that jump out there on the lake?”
Dad: “Sure son, but only crazy people would do that.”
If you are one of those so-called crazy people, who have excellent skiing skills, you may want to consider jump. Youth can learn to jump as part of the 3-Event team. Safety comes first, and a tremendous amount of practice goes into the timing and coordination of boat and skier that make the jump look so wonderful.
And for those of you old enough to remember Fonzie jumping on his skis on the TV show “Happy Days,” don’t worry. There are no sharks in our lake.
Skills Needed:
Jumpers should be advanced skiers with likely 3-Event team experience.
Equipment Needed:
Jumpers need a helmet. A Go-Pro is not required but makes the playback pretty cool too.
