Formal title

Development of a valid tool to simulate jump construction in big air and slopestyle

Formal

The current simulation models applied to test jump shapes lack valid input parameters. The objective of the study is therefore to validate input parameters for jump simulations.  

Description

Using field testing in training and competition the input parameters like air drag, ski/board – snow friction, pop at take off etc. are measured.
