Are
you ready to try one of the most exciting sports in the world? Ski
Jumping is the original extreme sport. There is nothing like the
feeling of free flight. Imagine yourself flying through the air
like an eagle soaring. Boys, girls, men and women have been doing
it in the metro area for over 100 years!
The Minneapolis Ski Club is a non-profit organization dedicated
to giving youths of all ages the opportunity to try Nordic sports
in the Minneapolis / St. Paul metro area. The club is based at the
Bush Lake Ski Jumps in Bloomington, just southwest of the Highway
100 and Interstate 494 interchange. (Click

| PARENTS! |
 |
| Are you
looking for a sport your child can excel in while learning lessons
that can be applied throughout their lives? Look no further.
The ski jumping community has always encouraged positive growth
in young men and women.
Though relatively small, it’s filled with wonderful caring
people who are always looking out for the best interest of the
children involved. Life long friends are made by children and
parents alike. |
|
| Many parents
see ski jumping as too risky of a sport but in reality it’s
very safe. Children start on small
jumps that limit the speed and distance they are traveling.
When a child builds the skills and confidence on one hill they
move up to a slightly larger hill. The cycle continues and by
the time they reach the large jumps we see in the Olympics,
they are very much professional’s at the sport. |
|
| There are
few sports in the world that can offer a child so many positive
facets. Ski jumpers young and old will tell you how much the
sport and its community means to them. |
|
| We encourage
you to bring your child to watch ski jumping in person and allow
us to show you what a rewarding sport it can be. |
