Other judges notes
Skater’s attitude
Judges will take the best run by skater. Everyone gets at least two (2) runs either individually or in Jam format.
Game of Skate Rules
1. The first skater tries a trick of their choice.
2. No trick can be landed more than once.
3. On offense (when demonstrating a trick) the trick must be landed clean on all four wheels: No toe drag, rail landings, manual landings, caspers, hands on the skateboard or on the ground.
4. Grabs, no-complies, handplants or bonelesses are not allowed in the contest.
5. If the first player does not land their trick, it is the next player’s turn.
6. Once a player lands his/her trick cleanly the other player has to imitate it and land it first try as well.
7. On defense (when imitating a trick) there is a bigger margin for error landings. This will be decided by a referee.
8. If a defensive player does not land the trick demonstrated by the offensive player, they receive a letter of the word S.K.A.T.E
9. If you have already received four letters (S.K.A.T) you are allowed two tries for imitating a trick.
10. Once a player has received all five letters (S.K.A.T.E) letters, they have lost and are out of the game of S.K.A.T.E.
11. The last remaining skater wins.
