History:

In early 1930's Sysslebäcks IF started organizing the first ski jumping competitions. The first larger ski jumping hill was then built at Tutstadholmen in 1938. With a record distance of 62.5 meters Holmenbacken was among the largest ski jumping hills of Sweden in 1946, just like the not far located Ambjörbybacken (57 m). Later the record was even improved on 64 m.
Sysslebäcksbacken was built in 1955 and located a bit further north. In this period there was a number of succesful ski jumpers at Sysslebäcks IF, but already in 1964 the club was dissolved. Seven years later Sysslebäcks BK took over the ski jumping hills and in 1982 they were completely modernized and the junior hills K30 and K15 built.
Nowadays the ski jumps are hardly used anymore, although the junior hills were covered with plastic mattings in 1997. The last bigger competition was the Swedish Championships in 2002.
