I always thought a kicker had more of a lip.
I never knew what a booter had that a kicker didn't though.

I think people just like to call them "back country booters" or "b c booters" for the alliteration. I've always called it a ramp, kicker, or jump.

A booter has more lip to it than a kicker. It also depends on size for me.

Correct me if im wrong, but in my exerience:

Booter: a normal jump that throws you high and far
Kicker or Floater: a really poppy jump
Cheese wedge: has to do with the construction, the actual jump looks like a wedge as opposed to a straight drop off after the lip there is a gradual slope

I thought a floater was a jump with like not to much steepness you just kind of float and drop?

booters are more vert, but a booter can be called a kicker. booters give more height than regular kickers.
