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:

“The definition of good prose is proper words in their proper places; of good verse, the most proper words in their proper places. The propriety is in either case relative. The words in prose ought to express the intended meaning, and no more; if they attract attention to themselves, it is, in general, a fault.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
