Came across something cool today. For those of you who know Norwegian, read the text in the picture. For those of you who don't...this is a copy of a Norwegian "skijumping club through a 100 years". What it basically says is that my grandfathers two cousins, Einar and Birger, were doing skijumping and combined for this club. Apparently they were really good. The second picture is the two brothers together. The first picture is Einar with another jumper. Quite exciting! This is from the late 20s early 30s.
Here are a couple of other pictures as well. This is Einar Burdal with his prizes. Just look at his clothes and the decor in this room. Amazing. He looks like a typical Norwegian guy with those trousers and long socks. Quite funny how serious he looks, even though he has won something!
...and this one is of Birger Burdal. Looks pretty heavy having to get through all that snow. But I guess he was some kind of professional. Again, the clothes look like typical Norwegian clothes. I bet it kept him warm. It looks like his sticks are made of wood.
