Disciplines
SKATEBOARD (4 disciplines)
|
Tight
Slalom
The equivalent of 100m sprint in athletism. 40 cones
in a straight line with 2m in between each (for the
Pros) gives the participants incredible speeds towards
the end of the course. The 16 best from the qualification
will battle it out in a head to head final, no 1 against
16, 2 against 15 etc. |
|
Giant
slalom
The skaters will use the full width and length of the
Trocadero slope in a giant slalom course set to maximize
both speed and agility required. Skaters will have to
work hard to position themselves correctly to maintain
their balance as they head down the slope in high speed.
|
|
Special
Slalom
The special slalom could be seen as a combination of
giant and tight. The course is set in a way that varies
both the cone distances and the offset to the fall line.
This type of course requires the skater to adapt their
rhythm and speed through the different parts of the
course. The 16 best from the qualification will battle
it out in a head to head final, no 1 against 16, 2 against
15 etc. |
Slide Contest
The aim of the slide contest is to achieve the longest and
most stylish slides possible towards the bottom of the hill
after generating top speed going down the hill. The slides
will be judged by a jury and they will consider style, ease,
difficulty, speed and the length of the slide.
