Term
Timing
When an action occurs relative to the movement or terrain sequence.
GLOSSARY · Movement & mechanics
Timing is when a movement happens in relation to the turn, the terrain or the trick — for example starting an edge change before or after the fall line, or popping at the lip of a jump. Good timing often matters more than strength.
Context and distinction
Timing is when; duration is how long; intensity is how strong. All three are needed to describe a movement.
