Rookies
– This division is aimed for riders who have just started out in the sport
– If you learnt to ride last week then you could enter the Rookies division this week!
– Any tricks up to and including 360’s off the kicker are allowed in this division
– If you can spin 540’s along an obstacle or off a kicker then we’ll see you later, you’re in Intermediates!
– If you can back lip or front board the obstacles then you too are off to the Intermediates
– Definitely no air tricks, that’s cheating at this level!
Intermediate
– Love wakeboarding, ride loads, but your not a pro? Then this division is for you.
– Tricks that are welcome in this division include: – Frontside 540’s and basic inverts like Tantrums, Scarecrows, Roll to Reverts off the kicker
– Obstacle tricks like ollie 270 onto a rail, ollie on backside lipslide, tail presses, nose presses etc
– If you have airtricks your up to open.
Open Division
– If your mixing up your runs with technical rail hits, blind landings, FS & BS spins of 540’s or great and can throw those airtricks in say hello to the open division and the chance of some cash prizes!!
– If you want to be sponsored then you need to be in this division!
– If you’ve won intermediate events before then you too are in Open, so step up your game!
