On a course with a down rail into a three jump set (all roughly 20 t0 25 ft) which runs do you think would score better? (Obviously assuming they are both done cleanly...in other words, just judging on the difficulty of the tricks.

BS270 off, sw3, sw1, 5

BS270 off, sw1, backflip (ungrabbed), 5

50/50, backflip, 5, sw3

Any thoughts?

+k for helpful feedback.....I've never really known how they score these things.

1 or 3,

Just remember, DONT REVERT. popping switch is a little different.

Id say go BS2-5-sw3- sw5

good luck.

Well without knowing if any grabs were done (Im assuming some were though) it's hard to decide. Let's say no grabs were done on any of the tricks I would say it's a toss up between run 2, and run 3. (If I was forced to choose then I would choose run 2) If grabs were done then I wouldn't be able to score it without knowing which grabs were done on which trick.

Ahh I think I have my trick names wrong...by BS270 i meant sliding right foot forward, spinning right and landing switch. Is that a FS? Sorry.

That way none of the runs would have a revert in them.

Ya BS (blindside) is when you spin back towards the rail if that makes any sense, and FS (frontside) is when you pick and spin forward away from the rail i guess.

Or in other words....would a fs270 off be likely to score higher than a sw3? That seems to be the crux of the question.
