How to do Large Jumps when skiing?

In order to do bigger jumps when skiing you must go into a jump with enough speed to make it over the top part and onto the downhill part of the jump. But, before doing any of this you must practice your technique for basic jumps. You must bend your knees and keep your body over the middle of your skis in order to stay balanced when you spring up into the air. The picture below shows the 5 steps to jumping.

Doing big jumps on skis is much different. In order to do a bigger jump you MUST get enough speed to jump off the lip of the jump and land on the downhill. If you do not get enough speed you will land on the flat part of the landing and it will result in a more painful landing.
