NICKY MEYERS
Park City, UT
My Name is Nicky Meyers, and I love ski jumping because it is a sport where people cheer you on and you cheer your teammates on. It is a sport that brings me a lot of joy and there is always room for improvement, and I always get better.
When I miss a day of practice, I am heartbroken. It is a sport of focus you have to get a good inrun for a good jump. When you get to the flight that’s when you take your moment and do your push. When you get into your flight the whole hill opens up and you can enjoy it, you feel like you’re a bird and the landing is the part where you have focus and put your feet down in that telemark then you ride down the outrun and then get excited for your next jump.
It is truly a great sport and every day you can hang out with your friends, and they can help you with your jumps and you can help them. When you get to the top of a new and bigger jump at the start you might be scared but when you do it you feel so good about yourself. You can also make a lot of new friends and when you are new you don’t want to stop jumping. That is why I love ski jumping and I think anyone who has a chance to do jumping should take that chance. Be safe out there.
