pick a line that is creative.
Keep it safe, you want to do more than one right?
ask the people who have been around... be curious, you know?
watch and learn, and then go rip it.
If you have to be first... throw everything i said out the window, and go do a whole line switch.

need to balance big drops with speed and fluidity.
if you wana impress, throw a 3 off a cliff.

above all, be smooth and confident.

Don't fall. That gets your points wayyy down. But I guess easier said then done.

all the comps i've been in have been judged by the technicality of the line and the creativity (tricks).

they judge on control, aggression, the line you pick ( thats like the most important) technique how fluent/smooth you are. well thats how they did it at red.

ski fast, take chances.
nah, do something you feel comftorable with but charge the hell out of it and be in control the whole time i asume would get you a good placement.
