(This is because there is already a permanent jump built in Calgary so close by...) There are SO many amazing ski jumping locations in Europe. Endleberg, Italy, Norway, Germany... Unfortunately, the sport is not as popular in North America and will soon probably die off. http://www.daylife.com/photo/05mu3qO8p2cuZ As far as I know, the jump at Vancouver 2010 is temporary.

The street is so steep that is was almost impossible to rollerblade up; your skates would just slip out from underneath you. I was maddeningly cool partly because I lived there but was stuck in a horrible place called "the office" down in San Jose during the event. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btz0mAN8BPs The video doesn't even do the insanity justice.
