This competition is about extremity.

Extremity is the wow factor in short lines riding, therefore, the judging will be swayed heavily towards that.
Judging of a trick will be weighted 30% height, 70% extremity.
Variety score will make up 25% of the total score.
Top three tricks will be counted towards the total score.
We will have a riders meeting to clarify and discuss.

To enter, complete this online entry form.

In this form, you will be asked to upload a video link (URL to Instagram or YouTube) of your short lines riding.

The video does not have to be specifically made for the competition, but a compilation of clips would be best to better showcase your skills.

Riders will be announced on Saturday 14 December.
