Actually......if you've ever skated or bmx'd a halfpipe you'll understand this better.......
"Pumping" in the transition will increase speed, hence let you get more air, the same rule applies in skiing and snowboarding, when you're on your edge you can "pump" out of the corners and gain momentum, the faster you're going the edge will dig in more with the right conditions, so speed increases if done right
