attack position
Ready to strike
Attack position is a ready stance used in mountain biking and skiing where the rider crouches with bent knees and elbows, weight centered, prepared to absorb terrain changes.
The posture keeps the body loose and reactive: Get into attack position before hitting that rocky section.
Sometimes called ready position.
