After each heat, judges will select two bladers to advance:
Heat Winner and a Wild Card.
Wild Card Round
Wild card riders will compete in 35–45 second timed runs. Each competitor will have 2 runs and the best run will be used for scoring.
The winner of this round will advance to the Finals.
Tie-Breakers
In the event of a tie, 35–45 second timed runs will be used to determine the winner. Each competitor will have 2 runs and the best run will be used for scoring.
Finals
The final round will be a 6–8 minute jam-style competition.
Judging Criteria
Execution
Competitors will be judged on their ability to perform tricks smoothly throughout the run. Falls, bails, and sketchy landings will negatively impact execution scores. Long, clean lines will enhance execution scores.
Style (Steez)
Competitors will be judged on their creativity and personal flair — approaching obstacles in unconventional ways, adding finesse to tricks, and engaging the audience.
Technicality
Judges will assess the complexity, difficulty, and risk of tricks — executing advanced grinds, spins, flips, flat-ground tricks, and flowing through high-difficulty transitions.
Use of Park & Obstacles
Competitors will be judged on how well they utilize the park’s layout, incorporating a variety of obstacles and transitions cohesively to highlight execution, style, and technicality.
