Illustrated book “JUMP! – The most beautiful jumps in the world” presented
HINZENBACH/VIENNA – “This book is an appreciation of frequently underestimated constructions. It was already overdue.” These are the words of a true expert: Walter Hofer has been FIS Race Director ski jumping for many years. “Ski jumpers need structures to slide into the deep, before they start to fly and on where they can land on. Sportsmen, who control these facilities and take them to the limits, are the kings of the air. Ski jumpers realize everyone’s dream: to be able to fly. Ski jumping hills allow a small group of chosen people to make this dream come true”, says the man from Salzburg in his foreword and repeated his words during the presentation of the book during the Grand Prix event at Hinzenbach on October 1st.
With “JUMP! – The most beautiful jumps in the world” (in German, English, French and Russian language), the authors and photographers Peter Riedel and Horst Nilgen present a work, which portrays 40 ski jumping facilities worldwide – from Oslo, where everything had started, over the spots of Four Hills Tournament, to the ski flying monuments and most prominent hills used by Nordic Combined. And there is also a spotlight onto the development of new facilities in Russia, at Chaykovsky and Nizhny Tagil.
“The 1980’s and 1990’s were different times – and for sure not the better ones! When I see the pompous ski jumping facilities of today, with their generous and comfortable chair lifts, then I sometimes remember my ages. A lift at Innsbruck? No chance! A gondola at Engelberg? Certainly not! A chair lift at Oberstdorf? Unfortunately not“, are the words of Jens Weißflog in his epilogue.
He, just as well as everyone else interested into ski jumping, now have a book present with “JUMP!”, that makes it possible just to regard, to gape and to muse about past and present times.
With a prologue by FIS Race Director Walter Hofer.
