The Hurricane

I'm still glued to the Olympics...and the United States is still kicking some significant ass!

Last night, Jeret "Speedy" Peterson took silver in aerial freestyle skiing...he landed "the hurricane" to put him into medal contention. This jump consists of five twists and three flips as he soars about 60 feet into the air. It was the same jump he tried 4 years earlier - and missed. Big props to Speedy for going for it again.

Here is a cool graphic that breaks-down The Hurricane.

Two things jumped out at me while watching Speedy last night after his jump:

1. He was wearing a brown leather belt...completely out of place...must be a superstition?

2. He was wearing an Under Armour top...first I have seen at the games...hhmm?
