So for some reason I was asked to help judge a rail jam tomorrow and to be honest I have no idea how to do it; can you guys help me out? I'm not sure what to look for beyond how difficult the trick looks, please give me some criteria that I can look for.

there is always a bunch of dudes that just huck it... try to look for the guys more under control of what they are doing and whether it looks good or not.

Look for stylish and huge tricks. Even a switch on switch up 27 nose tap out is better than a 2 on 4 off imo.

Dont forget to take note of small things like the approach, are they lip sliding or going straight on or what have you.

Besides that just make sure you reward for style and over all fluidity

Landings are big (no reverts, washes), also, are they sliding the entire length of the feature or falling off early is pretty big too. Creativity vs. just watching the same rail slide over and over, etc.
