    Hallo. Thanks for your post, I learn a lot.

    I'm from Poland and planning on learning ski jumping.

    One of the things I've read on the internet is that (unless you're a five-year-old kid) you need to be somewhat proficient in downhill skiing before you learn ski jumping. "The Joy of Flight" by Mitch Kaplan suggests you have an intermediate level of skill before starting. I don't want to book a flight to the Northern Hemisphere just to find that I'm not good enough at skiing to go ski jumping!

    Currently I know how to snow-plough, and can sometimes do Stem Christies or parallel turns but not always. I'll be going downhill skiing this coming Aussie winter (yes, we do have snow, including at the imaginatively named "Snowy Mountains" which includes Mount Kosciuszko), and would like to know which aspects of skiing I should most concentrate on.
