Trick Definitions

Blind-landing tricks, ie. Blind Judge, Roll2Blind, Tantrum2Blind, SBend2Blind, etc).

 

Format

Riders will be given two passes in a predefined course marked by a start and finish point. There will be no pick-ups allowed so if a rider falls during his pass, this will indicate the end of his pass. Riders may perform tricks they choose in any order they wish. Only the best out of two passes will be scored.

 

Scoring

The judges will score each rider in the following categories:

 

Technical performance = 50%

(Level and variety of tricks performed – what did the rider perform)

Judges look for the variety and diversity of tricks in a flowing creative sequence. In the judge's eyes, a better rider is one who throws a balanced variety of inverts, spins, heel side, toe side, switch, blind tricks, and handle passes etc, using both air tricks and obstacles.

 

Impression = 50%

(Airtime, mastery, style and control of tricks = how did the rider perform)

How impressive was the routine, how big did the rider go? For Slider and Kicker: How controlled and balanced is the rider? The judges look for the degree of effort in each maneuver performed and of the overall run. Does the Rider show his personal style in the trick performed? Is the trick grabbed, boned, tweaked, shifted? Are the tricks landed clean? Good body position in the air? How long was the trick grabbed? How good is the approach /cut of tricks, the flow in the run.
