To add to the difficulty level, sliding rails and boxes are also used. The match is played in both men and women category. History Inception of this adventurous journey started in Norway in year 1808, when Ole Rye jumped over a height of 9.5 metres.

After World War 1, a new technique was developed popularly known as Kongsberger Technique that helped Sepp Bradl of Austria in achieving a 101 metre jump in 1936.
