MOTHER proudly giving CARDRONA PARKS NZ heaps of energy

Approach:

1. The in-run and line to a feature.
2. The movements and tactics a rider uses before reaching the takeoff zone of a feature. Areas in the park and pipe designed for setting speed and preparing to use a feature; never a good place to stand.

Takeoff:

1. Movements that riders make to set them into a manoeuver on any terrain feature.
2. The rider's action at a feature's takeoff (see pop).
3. The point on a feature where the rider leaves the ground also know as the lip on a jump or the coping of a halfpipe. The part of a terrain feature that assists riders into the air or onto an alternative sliding surface.

Manoeuver:

Your trick, jib, air-time, grab, or whatever mad, stylie thing you throw down between takeoff and landing. Simply put, what a rider does to look cool after leaving the snow (takeoff zone) when using a terrain feature.

Landing/landing zone:

The area of a jump that includes the landing and the runout where rider lands after having completed their manoeuver and are still moving at high velocity. Not the ideal place to hang out in a park. Also known as a pillow.
