Jumping Skiing

Ski jumping is a winter sport or event in which competitors jump on skis for points or distance. Ski jumping may be performed on either snow skis or water skis, and jumpers in either case are judged by the distance they travel in the air. Ski Jumping competition results are based on a total point system which combines style points and distance points. Water ski jumpers are judged purely on the distance they travel in the air for a clean jump. A clean jump is a jump in which the jumper lands upright and maintains a grip on the rope until the judges deem the jump complete.
