Ski jumps
[This page under construction]
During the downhill ski racing event, skiers
usually have to take a jump[???]: they are in the air for a while.
Questions:
- How can you recognize a jump from a course profile/cross section?
- Does the speed of the skier matter? That is, do you have
to be going a certain speed to become airborne without
pushing yourself off vertically?
- Is it faster to fly through the air, or to stay on the snow?
- What about snowboard jumps?
- What about skateboard jumps?
- The ski jumping event?
