Judging Criteria

• Performance is judged on overall impression of skater in heat
• 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
