I've waited a few weeks to post this, just to give it a chance to digest with all appropriate parties (mom, dad, Millie, you know who you are).
It is the long-awaited "Grant completely busting his butt on a ski jump" video.
A little background...we were skiing with our friends at Solitude a few weeks ago, and by this point both Anna and I were fairly comfortable and competent with the run-of-the-mill downhill skiing. Then came the jumps. They looked easy enough, right? The friends we were with said, "Grant, just focus, lean forward, and most importantly, take off in control and you will land in control." Again, sounded easy enough to me...as you can see I was never in danger of being "in control."
Enjoy...
Just so you all know, I have since been back to Solitude and have successfully landed this jump and several others. It didn't hurt as bad as it looked like it hurt.

OK, even though I've known for weeks that you survived this jump, it STILL made me nervous!!I'm glad those skis flew off your feet. Love you, Mil/Mom
haha!! It is a good think those skis came off!
That MADE my night to watch!!! I am going to keep watching it over and over instead of doing my homework.
Ok...it WAS really funny and I watched it several times and laughed every time...but now that Natasha Richardson has died from a head injury on a BEGINNERS'S slope this is not so funny! No more jumps!! Michael needs lasik surgery one day and we're gonna need you alive to do it! And of course we just want you alive anyway.
Love, Jennifer
I'm pretty sure you leaned back instead of forward. The fact that your feet were in front of you and even with your neck was a dead give-away!
