Judging
Judging is based on the following as a guide:
1. Use of obstacles in blue as priority in runs
2. Secondary scores based on connecting the areas marked red
3. A run should try and have a grind, an air and a flip trick as a minimum.
4. Flow is a big part of it, keep your lines going.
5. Skaters must avoid ‘deathpitting’. Deathpitting is when a skateboarder uses the bowl like a halfpipe or vert ramp and goes back and forth on the flatwalls.
