It has been brought to my attention by Kaare Johnsen that skipoles are
not used in jumping. (That's what happens when I try to do things from
memory.)

Being somewhat reactionary, I find the classic style of jumping to be
far more elegant. (I know that the jumper doesn't go as far.)

I went to my webferret and found
http://www.cdnsport.ca/jump/html/scoring.html

Using it as a reference, this is what I came up with.

 \               ___o
  \             /
   \           /
    \       ======="
     \
ejm97 `.

 \               __/\_o
  \             /
   \           /
    \       ======="
     \
ejm97 `.

  \
   \_|\
    \  o
     \  
ejm97 `

             /
         /|_/
        o  /
          / 
ejm97    '

           o
            \7
            /
ejm97  .____\____

    o
   . \7
   \  \
    \ |
     \|
ejm97 \
       \

And I just couldn't stop myself:
 
              \
\           _o/
 \         / \
  \           \__ |
   \         \ \ \|
    \         \/  |
     \         \  |
ejm97 \         \
       `.



I have no idea if my articles get posted internationally any more.
Dejanews isn't that reliable either. Sigh.

NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
