Enjoy This New Ski Jump World Record [Video]

So this crazy Slovenian man just made ski jumping history when he smashed the world record for longest jump. Seriously, all he is missing is a cape.

There are many sports around the world that require a generous set of cojones (and whatever the female equivalent is). There are the obvious ones like rugga or NFL and there are the more extreme versions like downhill mountain biking and skateboarding. And then, tucked away in the land of beautiful women and rugged vikings, we have ski jumping.

Peter Prevc, a Slovenian ski jumper, shattered the world record when he flew a full 250 metres in an event in Norway. For you folk in Pretoria that’s two and a half rugby fields from try-line to try-line.

I think if Peter had a spirit animal it would definitely be THIS GUY.
