IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ

The Main Competition is based on a very complex algorithm to determine the best athlete.

REVIEWING RULES

1. Watch the entire length of each video clip. This will only take a maximum of one (1) minute per contest entry.

2. Review each video clip independently, and critique respectfully.

3. Finish each written review and rating completely.

4. NO Copy-and-Pasting.

5. NO Profanity, Abusive Language, Gibberish, and/or Sexual Harassment.

6. NO athlete is allowed to review their own video clip.

7. DO NOT attempt to boost your own stats by lowering someone else’s review rating.

REVIEWING GUIDELINES

1. Length: It is required you write a minimum of 10 words per criteria. If you choose to write less, your validity rating will drop dramatically.

2. Specifications: Try to remember, “What, Where, When, Why, and/or How” when writing a review. Give specific details about the footage instead of just saying, “Awesome video.” Try using descriptive adjectives and verbs to convey a feeling, and expressive nouns to express a thought. See the following example for more information:

Good: “Awesome video.”

Better: “This video was awesome because is has really technical tricks on gnarly objects.”

Best: “I have never seen a 5-0 done on that kinda gnarly kinked rail before. Let alone, someone landing it with that much confidence. Well done. You deserve to win a sponsorship with a major label.”


3. Criticism: Be constructive and helpful while being truthful. Avoid direct insults. How could the athlete improve? What would you do differently? Details, details, details. For example:

Good: “I hate noseslides.”

Better: “I don’t like noseslides because they lack amplitude.”

Best: “I feel that noseslides lack amplitude and they remind me of what beginners try because they haven’t consistently learned ollies yet. It would be better if you did a grab or variation onto or off the noseslide. That would definitely add technical difficulty and amplitude.”
