Term
Cross-Through
GLOSSARY · Turns & riding control
It describes a blended relationship rather than emphasising only the body crossing over or the board passing underneath. The teaching source should specify the movement it intends.
Context and distinction
Cross-through is a source-dependent transition description, not a third universally fixed body shape.

Cross-Through
Cross-through has conflicting uses across snowboard teaching traditions. Some descriptions blend cross-over and cross-under; other manuals attach it to a retraction strategy. It is not an approved universal synonym here.
Preparation and setting
A named source and an observed transition.
How to understand / apply it
- Retain the source's term.
- Describe torso, pelvis and board paths independently.
- Record the leg action and pressure release.
- Compare definitions without forcing equivalence.
- Link overlapping concepts with qualified relationships.
How to learn / practise
Use a terminology comparison worksheet with actual controlled turns. Do not introduce a separate recipe until the selected school's definition is confirmed.
Errors and corrections
Merging all three transition labels loses information. A picture of a low rider cannot settle the naming conflict.
Observable checks
The reader understands the usage and its uncertainty; no unsupported universal tutorial is claimed.
Review note
Terminology/equivalence requires source-specific review; no universal alias established.
