Snowboard jumps come in all shapes and sizes but are collectively known as ‘kickers’.  Coloured signposts will usually grade their difficulty from green (easy) to black (experts only). There’s a whole load of jargon associated with kickers including the ‘run-in’ (approach), ‘transition’ (section where it curves up) ‘wu-tang’ (how steep it is!) ‘lip’ (the edge of the jump) ‘gap’ or ‘table’ (the flat section before the landing), ‘knuckle’ (the hard corner of the landing that you really don’t want to hit!) and ‘sweet spot’ (the steep section of the landing that catches your descent with minimal impact).
