A cycling jump is a maneuver used in mountain biking and BMX biking. It involves the rider taking off from a ramp or lip and using his or her body weight to propel the bike into the air.

.The Origin of Cycling Term 'Jump'
The term 'Jump' was first used in the late 19th century in North America. It was used to describe a cyclist's sudden burst of speed to overtake a competitor. The first documented reference to the term was in an article written in 1897, in the New York Times, which reported on a cycling race in Brooklyn.
The term quickly gained popularity in the cycling world and was soon used to describe any sudden burst of speed or acceleration. Over time, the term was adapted to other sports, such as running, and is now used as a general term for any sudden burst of speed or acceleration.
Today, the term 'Jump' is used in many sports, including cycling, running, and snowboarding, to describe any sudden burst of speed or acceleration. It is used to describe a maneuver that is used to gain an advantage over an opponent or to quickly escape a dangerous situation.
