that is plain and simple wrong. anyone who knows nothing about park skiing will run into that kicker as fast as he can (so fast that he isnt scared by the speed, that is maybe the only limitation of a gapers inrun speed).
the more you know about kickers, about the right inrun speed, about consequences of an under/overshoot, the more youre aware of big kickers.
believe me, its like that. my gf is park skiing too (like 15 ftrs or what since she started that year) but is aware of bigger jumps (but she can ski well, is standing on skis for years).
and then, a slightly younger girl than her from netherlands or wherever that can barely stands on skis hits our roller line and overshoots it.
if you have no clue about park skiing, then you will just run in the kicker with all the speed you can get on the specific obstacle/inrun, no matter if the lip is 15 ft high and/or the table 22 metres long
