JUDGING CRITERIA
TRICK CONSIDERATIONS
Choose your best tricks to include in the video that best apply to the Big Air World Championships official judging criteria – click here for the official rule book:
Height and amplitude – The combination of height and amplitude of the tricks completed during the heat. As the wind conditions increase, this aspect will exponentially become more and more into consideration, but only when the height and amplitude are achieved along with risk factor and technical difficulty.
Technical Difficulty – The technical difficulty of tricks completed during the heat.
Commitment and Risk Factor – Pushing the limits under control will increase the chances of winning the heat. The Risk factor is the commitment of the competitor and physical challenge during the execution, duration of the critical moment, and energy on the execution.
Other judging criteria – such as variety, “wow” factor, smoothness, innovation, tricks landed vs crashes, will affect the overall impression.
