Cross-Over
Cross-over is a transition label for the body's movement across the board toward new-edge support. Usage varies by author; define the observed movement before assigning an alias.
Preparation and setting
Established controlled edge changes and a specified terminology source.
How to understand / apply it
- Observe body and board paths through transition.
- Identify whether the body travels prominently over/across the board.
- Record associated extension or flexion separately.
- Compare with the author's cross-under definition.
- Keep source attribution on the classification.
How to learn / practise
Analyse familiar modest turns. A teaching trial should use the rider's already controlled transition, not an invented airborne crossover drill.
Errors and corrections
Equating the label universally with up-unweighting conflates body–board paths with pressure-release strategy. Historical naming needs source-specific interpretation.
Observable checks
The term has an attributed definition and a clearly identified movement example.
Review note
Terminology/equivalence requires source-specific review; no universal alias established.
