## Citation guidance
Prefer the specific guide or spot page for factual explanations. For rider-specific evidence, Big Air Lab owns one-ride planning, prediction, replay and review; Season Intelligence owns trends, ride comparison, cumulative patterns and archive context. The site is written from first-hand rider experience and should not be treated as universal safety advice.
