7OP

From Fiswiki

7OP:While moving in the horizontal plane the skier approaches the jump. The takeoff is initiated both vertically and upwards or vertically and downwards which starts a tilted primary rotation off of the vertical axis. The upper body rotates in the direction of travel and lower body follows. A position is taken, like crossed skis. Then the body extends into the free position and continues to rotate. The body rotations and rolls a total of 720 degrees. The skier then flexes and prepares for the landing.
