Will Red Bull Break The World Record In Ski Jump in Iceland 2024 - Extreme Attempt

This is most likely the largest ski-jump platform in the world and the in-run starts at an elevation of 1000 meters. The mountain is called Hlíðarfjall and I'm leaving a link to the exact location of the extremely big snow ramp that's been in the making for 2 months now. It's however alway the chance that the mission will be aborted due to weather and not even the staff in the ski resort can tel us anything right now. Check out the links to the topics I mentioned in the video, and enjoy :)

    They should turn this into a permanent ski flying hill so every year there will be a lot of attention and revenue streaming into Iceland. The natural and sheltered slope means it would be easy to make this profitable. Given the bad outlook for winter sports in Europe due to incoming climate change this would be a perfect alternative location.

    Oh wow! You promised that you would make this video in your last video. Good for you and I am happy to watch it. Sorry you missed the RedBull event, but really great to see this mammoth ski hill near your home. I am not a skier, but if I was, this would truly be a fun experience, no doubt! Thanks so much. Looking forward to the the next video for sure.

    I live in a state in the upper USA and we do ski jumping here as well. Not like off a mountain! Our hill is Silvermine Ski Jump. It's 351 feet.... considered one of the largest ski jumps in the country. They host an annual international tournament with jumpers from all over the world. We have had a few local jumpers compete in the Olympics. There are many earlier settlers here from Norway (including mine!), Sweden and Finland. I guess skiing and ski jumping have been part of the area for a hundred years! But off a mountain??? I'd be very interested in seeing the event in Iceland!!
