Design of a Ski Flying Hill with the Profile HS300m

A Kinematic Analysis of the Flying Curve of Ski Jumpers

Schriften zur Sportwissenschaft

The main purpose of this book is to design a ski flying hill with the profile HS300m, for the first time, with the help of a kinematic analysis of the flying curve of ski jumpers.

The book is result of the special research project of the Faculty of Sport, University of Ljubljana. Ski flying has become a very popular sport discipline. Today jumpers can fly over 240m. The world’s longest jump of 245.5m was accomplished by Johan Remen Evenson on the jumping hill in…
