Judging Criteria

Performance is judged on overall impression of skater in jam
Judges analyze the following elements when scoring:
- Commitment, creativity, and use of entire ramp and features
- Distance traveled through air, slides, or grinds
- Speed, style, flow, and power
- Lines carry weight, but innovation and difficulty are rewarded
Bails after a 30 second run is completed will not factor into the skater's score
