Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Very impressive, but he loses a few points as he didn't land in the Telemark position like all ski jump skiers are supposed to..... Wink

Can't quite see how he managed to jump so short on the 180 off the ramp given those are set up for launching? Is that a feature that there is actually an easy abort for jumpers onto the knuckle?

@SnoodlesMcFlude, right you are in Lillehammer - that was a great film!

@Dave of the Marmottes, I don't think so - I think its all to do with the ski jumpers leaning forward, generating some lift and the release technique - i'm no expert mind you

Quote:
Contrary to what you may think, the end of the ramp doesn’t go up. In fact, the ski jump has about a 10.5-degree down angle. This means that for ski jumpers to maximize distance of flight, they actually extend from their aerodynamic crouch and jump instead of sliding off the end of the ramp. Timing, strength, and body position on takeoff are key to a successful jump.

Ok, impressive TO speed, but Switch 180 off the jump onto a kicker for a double front flip, with a layout in it - that'll mid-table you in most Big Air compos these days, and the butt-plant on the landing would've taken more off.

@extremerob, yeah I'm a big fan of Field Productions, that film in particular. Looking forward to when the Aksel doc comes out, hopefully will get a digital release with subtitles.
