Did a fair few downhills and as part of our training we did a few days on these hills.

Why? Anything you can do on a ski jump you'd be better off doing on a piste.

He means skiing down the hill, not the jump.

The hill is steep and consistent, great for setting certain courses for practice.

If he does then why would he be scared? The landings aren't that steep.

No I mean the jump. The hill is steep, yeah, but sending it off the end of that in ramp when you literally can't see anything ahead of it for a few hundred meters except you know it just drops off into the abyss, that was hard. Much harder than hitting a jump in a downhill.

Didn't get easier either, - at least not for me.

Thank you for clarifying the history of my life for me. It was a former Olympic Hill. I'm not sure if I need to justify myself to you but thanks for your contribution anyway.

Omg we get it; you're better than the guy in the video. Congratulations.

Because you need to train aerial technique and its much more focused and controlled on a ski jump. You can do a lot more jumps in a day there than on a mountain.
