Drill
Contact-outcome check
HOW TO DO IT
Contact-outcome check
distinguish intended absorption from unintended launch.
Preparation and setting
Required: controlled glide, directional stability and a reliable stop beyond the roller. Use a low, inspected feature with a visible far side and no crossing traffic. A blind natural knoll is not equivalent. Do not use an active jump line as a slow absorption practice lane without the operator's appropriate arrangement.
Exercise task
- use a repeatable low-demand approach and observe the board through the crest. Record grounded contact, brief separation or deliberate pop as different outcomes. If separation occurs, reduce approach demand or select a rounder feature before adding more flexion.
Transfer and success check
AMTA-01 bump absorption. Success requires both the intended contact outcome and a controlled exit. A quiet head with an uncontrolled board is not a pass.
Regression
a single shallow undulation.
Progression
two grounded rollers with separate recovery.
