Meet the Judges
The judges’ appreciation for the runs will be expressed as a number on the Scale of Awesomeness, a scale of 0-540. The scale is not a perfect line; it is more of a curve. So 360 is many times farther from 540 than 180 from 360.
Judging is done in good conscience and is completely arbitrary.
About the Course
The 540INDY slopestyle course was hand sculpted by our in-house park designer Brendan O’Brien ツ
The course is made up of six feature sections with endless options for flow and creativity.
Up top, there are two rail sections with flowy curved rails on the left and technical kinked rails on the right.
The middle two sections have options for big air, butters, high-speed rails, and transition takeoffs.
What line are you picking?
To end off the course there are two floaty kickers to throw your biggest tricks on.
