Here is a picture of a world first, a snowmobile in a skijump. As mentioned in the norwegien dagbladet Top Gear filmed the snowmobile jump performed by the "Stig" in Lillehammer. Apparently he left the skijump at 134 km/h and jumped 54m.
Found the picture in a article on a swedish snowmobile website.

Actually the Stig isn't the Stig on the snowmobile if you get what I mean. Its actually a stuntman dressed as the stig jumping down the hill. I've heard rumors that the Stig has an unatural fear of snow.
