Steve Collins and "delta style" edit

Regarding

In the early 1980s, Steve Collins used a modified variation of the V-style, or "delta style", with the ski tips held together in front instead of at the rear

I believe there were ski jumpers before that who where known to use this style, although perhaps in a more moderate form. Look at the picture of Bjørn Wirkola (who was active in the 1960s) here, for instance: https://www.vg.no/nyheter/meninger/i/J1BGk6/hoppe-etter-wirkola 193.69.199.116 (talk) 17:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)Reply

That looks badass. A source in writing would be good, since that's why the inclusion of Collins' use of the technique was included so prominently. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 22:00, 27 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
