Replying to Degree Limitations in Big Air and Slopestyle
So reading the thread about how jump sizes are likely to decrease there was a lot of interesting discussion in the comments that got me thinking.
Recently, at the Soldiers Big Air in the Czech Republic, there was a combination format of both tech tricks, and style tricks (those under 720).
What if, instead of changing the courses, jumps and judging, we instead have overall degree limitations. For example, in a slope course with 2 rails and 2 jumps there is a 3600 degree limit overall. Therefore riders can either save up for big tricks, or slow everything down a bit and style stuff out. difficulty therefore isn't defined simply by more rotation, but rather more difficult axis, pretzels, grabs etc.
Just an idea. What do y'all think?
