how do you determine when your good enough for your first local slopestyle competition? iv been wanting to enter one for a while now, but im just never sure how good you have to be. if there are no age groups, and the comp is just divided by gender, is there a right time or anything?

if you want to do it then do it, as long as you can land some tricks....who cares if you get last place? you are still going to improve every time you compete.

Yeah, as long as you are comfortable hitting the features and doing a few tricks, I'd say get involved, good times for sure!

If you can slide the rails start to finish and you can spin at least a three on the jumps I think you'll be fine.  If its two rails side by side and you can slide one start to finish but you can't do the other one, then thats not a problem because theres an alternate. 

But if you straight air the jumps or skip a rail then you need to work on that before you can compete.
