This is somewhat stupid, Not the Idea of a skill scale, but rails on the same chart as jumps. You should have two different charts and add them both up calculating your score,

Jumps, 15 depending on what level you consider competing. Rails, a 9 or 10.

I started out competing in big mountain then went to park so this scale is a little skewed for us pow/steeps fiends...

7 or so...

But yeah...park isn't everything (far from it). I'm pretty much always the best skier technically wise anywhere I go. It's rarely I see someone that skis better than I do. Oh well, I'm still a 7. I'm gonna focus more on park though this summer. Wanna learn good 7's and get better at rails. And I wanna learn a cork 5 because it's fucking awesome.

14 but not 9 (i consider myself more of a rail/jib guy; i have both switchups, k-feds, good ski control, but no off axis tricks or spins over 5)

maybe try making a scale for jumps and another seperate scale for rails. i feel like this one is only applicable to a skier who spends an equal amount of time on jumps as on rails. but thats just my two cents

i suck at most off axis tricks, but can underflip cork 5, back/front lincoln and my rail game is pretty good, like 270s on, both switchups, up to 450ss (sketchy blindside ones but i can do em!) but since i can't cork I'm a 9??
Range is ridiculous man you kinda mixed up alot of where things should be, and who cares in the first place?
