Even as a kid I never understood why he was laughed at so much, cos the ski jump looked terrifying.

Splash may be a shocking programme but it is giving Eddie the chance to show what a brave, talented bloke he really is.
I doff my hat to him.

Agreed. Nicely in control right the way through.

Think he is still the national record holder for that ski jumping lark.

Balls of steel!

There was a piece with him in Cycling Active not so long back. Quite enjoyed reading it.

I used to ski race and Eddie trained at my local dry slope. He was an English squad ski member and very handy slalom skier. He just got picked up on as a goofy plumber from Gloucester.

I then saw him jump 5 buses off a sketchy scaffold tower with stupidly steep run in – a single mat of dry slope wide. The slope manager was harnessed in at the top and terrified!

He’s brave and an awesome bloke.

It’d be ace if he did make the World Masters diving.

The Eagle flies again. Top man

Yehhh Eddie. Winner

I thought it was Steve Davis 🙂

Chapeau!

Linky??

Absolutely top bloke 🙂

I’ve just read the Wikipedia article on him, really interesting stuff. He was the 9th fastest speed skier in the world. Also, and I really hope this is true..

Eddie currently holds the World Record for the most raw eggs consumed in 10 minutes, he managed 26.

He has balls.

Does he still work @ Tamworth leisure centre?
