# Kicker Transition Radius Calculator AI Agent Connect

> Kicker Transition Radius Calculator provides engineering-grade calculations for snow sports jump design. Your AI client uses physics models to determine transition radii, takeoff angles, and landing distances while accounting for rider weight and snow conditions. It connects directly to Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, and VS Code through Vinkius.

## Description

You can use this MCP to take the guesswork out of jump building. Instead of relying on intuition, you give your AI agent the ability to run real-world physics simulations for snow sports. Whether you are designing a permanent park feature or a temporary backcountry kicker, the math needs to be right to keep riders safe. 

You can feed your agent specific variables like approach speed, rider mass, and surface type to get immediate feedback on jump viability. It handles the heavy lifting of calculating how a specific radius will impact a rider's body through G-forces or how much distance they will actually clear. It is a specialized tool for anyone who needs to bridge the gap between a rough idea and a mathematically sound jump design.

## Tools

### adjust_for_snow_conditions
This tool modifies theoretical geometry and force calculations based on the specific snow surface, such as powder or hard-pack.

### analyze_rider_forces
This tool calculates the physical impact and G-forces a rider will experience during the transition.

### calculate_transition_geometry
This tool determines the primary geometric properties needed to hit a specific target landing distance.

### get_safety_profile
This tool evaluates if a specific kicker design is safe for a given rider weight and approach speed.

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the jump geometry for an approach speed of 10 m/s, a rider weight of 75 kg, a target landing distance of 15 meters, and a takeoff angle of 30 degrees.
```

**Response:** 
```
The calculated transition radius is 8.45 meters with a flight time of 1.2 seconds.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What are the expected G-forces for a transition with a radius of 5 meters at 12 m/s for a 70 kg rider?
```

**Response:** 
```
The peak G-force is 3.89 Gs with a total force of 261.5 Newtons.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Is a jump with a 4.5 G-force safe for a 80 kg rider with a 6 meter radius?
```

**Response:** 
```
The risk level is High. It is advised to increase the transition radius to reduce peak G-forces.
```

## Capabilities

### Geometry Planning
Your agent calculates the necessary dimensions to reach a specific landing spot.

### Force Analysis
The AI predicts the G-forces a rider will feel during the transition.

### Surface Compensation
The tool adjusts math for powder or hard-pack snow conditions.

### Safety Auditing
Your agent evaluates if a design meets safety requirements for specific rider profiles.

## Use Cases

### Backcountry Kicker Design
Calculate a safe radius for a quick build based on your current speed.

### Snow Park Safety Checks
Run a safety profile on a new feature to see if it's too aggressive for certain riders.

### Force Impact Prediction
Determine if a transition radius will cause excessive G-forces at high speeds.

### Snow Condition Adjustments
Modify your jump math when moving from hard-pack to powder snow.

## Benefits

- Reduces physical risk by predicting peak G-forces before a jump is built.
- Accounts for real-world variables like snow density and rider weight.
- Provides specific geometric dimensions for target landing distances.
- Works directly within your existing coding or chat environments.

## How It Works

Connect your AI client to Vinkius to start running physics calculations immediately.
