A Canadian in Sweden

This would be why Norwegians kick everyone's collective asses in nordic sports. I filmed this besides Håkon's Hall, the big sports arena where the Birkebeiner should have finished. Notice that some of the kids are wearing racing bibs - just because they think racing bibs are cool. Although the video doesn't show it well, these kids are going fast, the jump is big and they are travelling about 5 m through the air. I went to the top of this jump with the idea of giving it a try, but I decided I value my equipment too much.
