Drill
Crest–descent–dip observation
HOW TO DO IT
Crest–descent–dip observation
locate a timing error after a crest.
Preparation and setting
Use one low crest followed by a shallow visible dip. The rider must maintain a controlled traverse and have demonstrated AMTA-01. A repeating mogul field is too complex for the first timing check. Set entry pace before the feature and keep the runout unobstructed.
Exercise task
- ride the selected feature while the observer notes three moments: smallest leg length, beginning of extension and deepest trough. Compare against the actual terrain positions.
Observe and diagnose
Corrective use: distinguishes early pushing from a delayed reach.
Transfer and success check
maintain contact in a slow bump turn without locking at its bottom. The goal is usable support and recovery, not perfectly constant head height or uninterrupted contact under every possible condition.
Regression
a shallower dip.
Progression
add a second low rise at different spacing.
