The Men’s Final having the all-new format: Riders fall into line in sequence and alternate to go in the box and try one trick. Seven tries, top 4 count.

In simple terms: it is one by one, making it simpler for the judges, the general public as well as the riders to follow the adventure.

Frequent misunderstanding: Seven tries and 4 counting implies much less risk is taken.
Truth: Since the riders know the scores as well as their position on the heat, the bar is actually raised higher and higher – in case a rider wants a double to be able to advance (and also the new format allows them to know that), they will throw it.

Wind Voyager Triple S

Very nice to get the way back in Cape Hatteras for the wind voyager triple S, the south west is in and also the park is becoming lined up! Fairly gutted to not progress on the first round the other day, only one more heat to go! Riding level is higher this season!
