Slope style comp
I made this discussion to keep it off else where and so we can have a centeral place to post what we are all thinking, i got no problems doing this single handed but i want to see how people want it run as i dont want it to just be somethng for the hard wheelers.
here is what i have
Paramiters for a Slopestyle comp in Melbourne australia
venue: fitzroy gardens- wide path next to the cafe jolimont side of the gardens.
format: Man on Man double elimination 2 runs each best run is the one that counts, hard wheelers and soft wheelers start on oppisite sides of the draw to keep it compedative in early rounds and so idealy you end up with the best of the hard wheelers going up against the best of the soft wheelers in the final, could also run a two group format so that the hard wheelers and soft wheelers do 2 runs each and the top two out of each group go up against eachother in a jam session final to decide the top 4 of the event.
Judging: this is something i need some imput on, do people want it to be peer judged? as in the other guys in the comp call the top two from each group then the guys who are eliminated put in the votes for the placings or should it be 3-4 judges scoring the runs and making the calls on placings or a combination of both?
criteria: this is another thing i think is very hard to call, personally i would like to see it scored on how teching getting and how if your not just linking a few basic slides together to try play smart. I want to see guys rewarded on how well you step up your own game, i think if guys like oscar are getting a few colemans in a run it should be scored the same as me sticking a drop knee tailblock, a surrender headslide 360 and a coffin pendy in that regard
Permits required: we just need a permit to close off that section of pathway in the gardens for a few hours.
Equipment: we need a shade for the judges to sit under, a few chairs, table, score cards, and draw sheet (depending on format and judging) some sort of barrier to mark where peope can and cant stand (not essential) a PA for music and to announce who is competeing etc etc (not essential)
Sponsors: hopkin racing, creative skate, fast times, helmleys
cost? we only need the permit really, if the YMCA get on board
