The downhill tests at Chamonix bring out Europe's best who set new speed records in the downhill. For the first time helicopters give us a bird's eve view of the proceedings. Down hill skier is being followed by a hovering helicopter and their getting some good shots of the skier. MS - As a skier approaches a up-ward hill he looses it, his poles go flying but his skies remain on his boots. HV - You see where the skier looses it and takes a pretty nasty fall. MS - Ludwig Lightner of Germany is the next skier and he is really zooming down the mountain side. This is a perfect ski run and he takes the prize as well.
