Lots of it is recorded and a big delay on the 'live bits', so bet with caution |

Twelve celebrities are getting their ski gear ready to head to Jump Mountain high in the Austrian Alps to compete live in the third series of Channel 4’s thrilling winter sports series, The Jump.
The fearless females taking on The Jump will be Olympic gold medal winning swimmer Rebecca Adlington OBE, Girls Aloud star and actress Sarah Harding, Olympic bronze medal winning gymnast Beth Tweddle, Holby City actress Tina Hobley, Eastenders actress Louisa Lytton and original ‘It Girl’ and ‘Girl About Town’ Tamara Beckwith. The courageous men ready to fly down the mountains are Olympic gold medal winning 100m runner and sporting legend Linford Christie OBE, Irish pop star and TV presenter Brian McFadden, Made in Chelsea star Mark-Francis Vandelli, Eastenders’ actor Sid Owen, TOWIE star James ‘Arg’ Argent, and Superman heartthrob and actor Dean Cain. The adrenaline-charged series will be upping-the-ante with the competitors taking on awe-inspiring winter sports events almost entirely live from Jump Mountain. The Jump will be taking over part of the Austrian Alps, with each episode featuring bigger, better and more challenging purpose built courses on which the competitors will go head-to-head live to keep their place in the competition. This year the series will be weekly on Channel 4, rather than in its usual nightly stripped format. And if they should find themselves at the bottom of the leader board…? Well, this year they have to speed down an all new bespoke Ski Jump which would make even Eddie the Eagle quake in his ski boots. Joined by the competitors family and friends, Davina McCall will be back to host from her all new Alpine Ski Lodge. In each action packed episode she’ll be revealing what’s been happening behind the scenes in training as well as dishing up gossip from back at the competitors luxury Austrian Mountain Schloss where , for the first time, they’ll be living together throughout the series. Each of the brave men and women has their eyes on the prize – the much coveted Cowbell Trophy – which is currently in the hands of last year’s triumphant winner, Joey Essex. The daring competitors will be put through their paces by a team of top coaches including Winter Olympic skier Graham Bell and current Winter Olympic, World and European Skeleton champion Lizzy Yarnold. Eddie ‘The Eagle’ Edwards will also be back to offer some sound advice on perfecting their ski jumping skills. |

SKELETON
In this nerve-shredding event, competitors launch themselves onto a heavy metal sled and race face-first down a twisting ice track. With their chin just millimetres from the ice, and races won and lost by fractions of a second, the tiniest mistake could see our competitors come face-to-face with the jump-off. Skeleton is also the blue-ribbon event in Team GB’s Winter Olympic arsenal. 2014 Skeleton World Cup and Olympic Gold medal winner Lizzy Yarnold, will be on hand to show our contestants how to set their fears aside for this bone-shaking ride. SNOW CROSS One of the most exciting winter sports innovations in recent years, snow skates are skis fused into the bottom of traditional ski boots. Lighter and more agile than skis, these skates mimic the action of ice skates for use on snow. In this event, up to five competitors will go head-to-head in a no-holds-barred battle to reach the finish line first. But with a winding course including hairpin turns, jumps and obstacles to negotiate, simply getting the bottom will be enough to get the contestants’ hearts racing. Kitted head-to-toe in ice-hockey gear, the celebs will launch themselves out of the start gate and endeavour to reach the finish line first. And with contact between racers par for the course, it won’t just be the obstacles trying to stop them finishing first! PARALLEL SLALOM One of the most famous of all Alpine events, the slalom is a gruelling test of technical ability. The aim of the game is to dodge around the gates as quickly as possible, and complete the steep mountain course in the shortest time. But in an exciting twist, our contestants will be going head-to-head on parallel courses, so anyone falling behind will be confronted with all the ground they need to make up. While negotiating the course might seem doable, there’s a reason slalom skiing is one of the most feared of all winter events. It takes thighs of steel to keep to the racing line, and the slightest error or wayward turn will send our racers crashing off the course. MOGULS Just when our celebrities are getting comfortable on skis we introduce a new challenge. One of the Winter Olympics most exciting freestyle sports, Moguls. For some they inspire terror and others, excitement, but skiing moguls and doing it well requires practise and timing. Mogul skiing is all about balance, short turns, rhythm and being able to pick a line to ski. One of the biggest issues for many is balance – a bumpy slope can really throw off the balance of even an expert skier unless you practise hard and work at it. The secret is to keep a relaxed upper body and absorb the bumps with your legs. SKI CROSS Despite only being on the scene for a few years, ski cross has rapidly become one of the most popular of all winter events. Fast-paced, adrenaline-packed and unpredictable, ski cross sees a number of racers pitched against each other in an all-out battle to cross the finish line first. Raced along a winding course comprising straight sprints, drops, rollers and banks, ski cross is one of the most unforgiving events our celebrities will be facing. One caught edge, mistimed turn or heavy collision could see any racer last to finish, and faced with the prospect of jumping for their survival in the show. THE AIR JUMP If the Ski Jump is a long jump then think of The Air Jump as a high jump. But this jump isn’t about the landing - it’s about the speeds reached on the in-run and the amount of height you are able to achieve. The aim is to get as much height as possible by jumping off the 4 ½ meter kicker and landing safely into a giant airbag. It will take skill, daring and athleticism to successfully pop off the kicker and gain the air and height needed to stay in the competition. SKI JUMP As the namesake of the show, the ski jump sets the bar ominously high in terms of sheer terror. Looking at the huge ramps from below is scary enough, but when our contestants are sat in the jump seat with the green light showing and no landing sight visible, even the most experienced skier will face rather more than niggling doubt. This event is as simple as it is scary. The longest jump wins, and the loser packs their bags and heads for home. It takes nerves of steel to keep a steady head on the long ramp, while a strong take-off and perfect flight are crucial for a winning jump. But as last year’s competitors showed, landing is the hardest part. Travelling at speeds of around 40kph, even the slightest wobble on landing could lead to a caught edge and a face-first crash down the icy outrun. |

How many regular posters on here? We`ll call it 30
How many irregular posters on here? We`ll call it 30, too How many post, but very rarely, on here? We`ll call it 50 How many lurkers? Plenty So, at a very rough guess, 110 readers, and plenty of lurkers on this mighty fine forum, and YOU are one of them. 110 people who selflessly share their information and (in some cases, at least!) highly informed views. Indeed, as a whole, this select group is probably, pound for pound, amongst the very most successful groups of punters in the world. And YOU are able to benefit from all of this. FOR PHUCKING FREE!!! Instead of being a selfish and ungrateful bast@rd, how about showing just the smallest bit of appreciation for their efforts? We are currently in the `Judging Stage` of the `Specials Forumite Of The Year 2015` So far, only a handful of posters have voted. With voting being suspended tomorrow night, that`s a pitiful number. We all spent hundreds, even thousands of hours on here during 2015, yet YOU can`t think of one good post/thread/train/poster that doesn`t deserve even something as simple as your vote? Come on, play the game! No `reg` can get away without voting, the very absence of your post will be a highly visible slap in the face to all of your friends on here. As you will notice, I`ve posted this on numerous threads, so no `I didn`t know` bollox, thank you very much! 30-odd regs equals 30+ votes, a reasonable sample. So do it. NOW! Yes, and you non-regs. Yes, and you lurkers. DO IT NOW!!! OK, if you can`t do it now, you want to ponder it all, to give due consideration to this weighty decision, vote before tomorrow night, at least! If you can`t be bothered to spend a few minutes to pay for what you received in 2015, you can rev up and PHUCK RIGHT OFF!!!!! Bullet point; Voters = Decent humans . Non-voters = UNGRATEFUL SELFISH BAST@RDS!!!!! |

Lurkers and irregulars, I`m talking to YOU as well. As previously established: Voters = Decent humans Non-voters = SELFISH AND UNGRATEFUL BAST@RDS So, which are YOU??? VOTE NOW!!!! NO EXCUSES!!! |
