A water ramp is a ski jump into an over sized pool or lake for practicing ski and snowboard aerial acrobatics utilized in Freestyle Events. A water ramps is composed of an in-run, a kicker and a water surface for landing. Athletes practice new skills while "landing" on water where the impact is significantly less dangerous than landing on compacted snow.
Athletes flip and rotate from as high as 60 feet in the air above the water landing surface.
World class coaches help their students work on each aspect of a new trick into water, before being allowed to attempt it on snow.

Famous quotes containing the word definition:
“It is very hard to give a just definition of love. The most we can say of it is this: that in the soul, it is a desire to rule; in the spirit, it is a sympathy; and in the body, it is but a hidden and subtle desire to possess—after many mysteries—what one loves.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
—Jane Adams (20th century)
“I’m beginning to think that the proper definition of “Man” is “an animal that writes letters.””
