Jump Line (R)

The highest point of a jump, as recorded in recreational quadrobics— to measure the height of a jump. The Jump line lies under the limbs during midform, where the elbows and knees are at their closest. Jumps are measured at what height the person could jump so long as their midform is intact.

Jump line (R) is the point in a jump where your midform is.

Focal point

A singular point where the athlete is focused on throughout an entire jump, space, or period of time. Example: The barrel in barrel racing, a Copaw’s flag in an agility course.

All of the copaws for this competition have little red flags to act as the focal point.

Pitting

A balance and coordination exercise in quadrobics, where one stands in starting position and lifts 1-2 limbs at a time before lowering them slowly. This exercise is often used in physical therapy for injury recovery, or used as a strengthening exercise when used with weights.

The term is also used for gaits that are practiced in place, instead of moving forward.

You should try pitting to get more used to your trot form.

Mentor

Someone that is privately hired long-term for one athlete in quadrobics, to teach them personally based on their specifics. They often help the athlete prepare and compete, and usually have other qualifications such as physical therapy training or other nutrition or sports based education.

The meal plan that my mentor made is horrible.

False Landing

A landing after a jump that isn't completed successfully. This includes landing on one's knees, collapsing, stumbling, or being unable to complete a break step.

I’m counting that as a false landing, you landed on your feet first.

Pawform

Paw(s) is the common term to refer to one’s hands while doing quadrobics. Pawform is used to describe the mode of holding your hands in quadrobics; the fingers curled and thumb loose to the side, the last knuckle of the four fingers excluding the thumb are flush with the ground.

You have to teach everyone pawform before they start speed training, otherwise they’ll break their fingers.
