Judging is simply about making NON-BIASED decisions and the knowledge of the difference between style and huck more or less. Honestly, I'll sit with any other judges, so long as everyone can make a consensus.
For another thing, using the 'standardized' 'WoW' factor judging criteria for judging big air events is a good stepping stone. If anyone hasn't read this before, and wants to judge, should definetly take a look at it. I know Emberly has it on file I do believe. The last time I saw it was outdated by two years but still included switch rodeo's, flat spins, d-spins and i believe corks...
As for comments about the comp, I say drop a rail as an optional hit after the big air. Gives riders confidence and creativity with it. Don't know how you could work it in. Just a thought. Oh ya, other than that, I want to be able to ride at Wentworth that day, so I can atleast spend one day skiing with the boys in some deep stuff, or what remains of it on the mountain.
I'd also wanna do the warm up hits with the boys, see how people are feelin', see what's being thrown, etc...
Leaving for Hali at 6am tomorrow (friday) for one night. Doubt I have time to do anything, even hook up with anyone, I'll be near Dal I think. Actually my Saturday is pretty open, if Thor of Jens wanna meet up for an afternoon drink somewhere and shoot the perverbial shit. Hit me off on my celly 506-471-5809.
As a side note, I talked to Cross the other day, he's coming back to NB and I think he's interested in judging that comp as well. He may be a crack head, but he knows his shit.
