Practice Ski Jumps

Description

<a href="http://motionplayground.com/">Motion Playground</a> has a Ski Stunt Simulator on their <a href="http://motionplayground.com/games.html">Games</a> page. There's a <a href="http://motionplayground.com/sssjava/index.html">Java version</a> that you can play online, trying out the 'kicker jump', 'the wall', 'crash and burn', 'practice'. 'Practice' is good for just trying flips: <dl dt_class="field"> front flip lean back and down, then move forward quickly; the mouse should make a horizontal line to the right, then back to center back flip lean forward and down and then move back and up quickly; the mouse should make a counter-clockwise C-shape </dl> Those are my instructions above, so your mileage may vary. I recorded some videos of my antics; you can check them out below. The 'kicker jump' is my favorite, but 'crash and burn' really shows off how the pretty good physics engine can knock your skier around. I've gotten over 'the wall' and landed a couple of times now. <box title="Ski Stunt Movies" align="center"> <div align="center"> <dl dt_class="field" dd_class="detail"> Broken Back <a href="{att_link}broken_back.mov">QuickTime</a> (298KB) Crash & Burn <a href="{att_link}crash.mov">QuickTime</a> (1083KB) Head Plant <a href="{att_link}dead.mov">QuickTime</a> (329KB) Quintiple Backflip <a href="{att_link}quint.mov">QuickTime</a> (457KB) The Wall <a href="{att_link}wall.mov">QuickTime</a> (343KB) </dl> </div> <span class="notes">All movies were captured and produced with <a href="http://www.camtasia.com/">Camtasia</a></span> </box> There are also <a href="http://motionplayground.com/sss/demos.html">videos</a> of some of the jumps on the website, if you're trying to figure out how to do them.
