It's a magical moment when one transitions from heart-pounding terror to heart-pounding triumph.

Are we sure this is a girl and not a prepubescent boy?

Either way, thanks for revivifying my memories of learning to ski!

Actually, sounds more like a boy to me (a very brave boy).

I agree, I thought it was a little guy the whole time, but the original youtube title was "Girl takes ski jump for first time" or somesuch.

Ok, I know this is not going to come across well but I'm not really that impressed with a 4th grader going down a ski jump. Between 2nd and 9th grade. I really did not know much fear. Really, none of the kids I hung out with did. Scraps, cuts and bruises were badges of we had fun. Hell at the little clinic/Doc's office in the area almost all of us knew the doctors and nurses on a first name bases. The 9th grade was the big learning experience. Misjudged a table top jump that went in to a 40 foot drop in to a bowl.(BMX) I personally do not remember what happened but what I was told is I clipped a tree, spun, bounced off several more, went through a heavy thicket of dead wood 30 something feet in to a dried up creek. I woke up 2 weeks later and was told I had had a compound fracture left arm, broken collar bone, punctured lung and broken ankle. I'll tell you I damn well learned to fear after that. But, then Got a car not to long after that and forgot everything had to learn fear again. Of course the hard way.

But the POV camera was cool.

^ Yeah, ok Evel. This kid was scared, and he went anyway and succeeded. An awesome lesson to learn when you are young and not made of as stern a stuff as yourself.

go home, you suck.

Nothing to do with dick police, not everyone was created equal. Your original comment infers that his/her (whichever) achievement was not as significant because you were apparently fear free as a kid, as if that means anything. It's more impressive to do something in spite of being terrified than to do something that you do not fear. To try and drag down the achievements of a ~9 year old because you were apparently a pre teen He-Man is a cuntish thing to do.

Hear hear! Courage is never a lack of fear. It's functioning properly in the face of it.

Lack of fear usually is a symptom of stupidity or ignorance.

It's parents like that, turning kids into adrenaline junkies that the kids grow up to be base jumpers and shit. That kid is going to need to jump off a skyscrapper by the time he's 14 to ever get an adrenaline high ever again lol.

made me remember my first attempt at paragliding

I would like to offer sincere apology to everyone. My conduct and comments were out of line and uncalled for. while I would like the use the excuse of a complete lack of sleep and having to working Saint Patrick day weekend and dealing with drunks and others I feel this would just be an excuse and does not pardon my conduct in the least. After sleeping for a good 15 hrs. getting up and over a large pot of coffee and rereading everything. I have found that I'm not immune to rabid stupidity and asinine logic. I can not stress enough my embarrassment over the entire situation.
Again, My Sincere Apologies to everyone.

Thank you.

^ Yeah, fair enough mate. ; )
