Format Details

RGR is a rail only, rider judged, head to head contest, and features the inclusion of a Last Chance Qualifier (LCQ). This means that riders will ride at a minimum of 2 times, and will likely ride much more than that.

Rail Only: There will be no kicker hits in this contest, and the rider is judged based on their rail technicality, style, and creativity, and overall impression performed in a full cable lap.

Rider Judged: This event is rider judged, meaning each head-to-head heat is judged by the following head-to-head heat of riders. Once the bracket is narrowed down to the Final 4 riders, the 4 riders will then be judged by a preselected panel of judges who were riding in the contest. The outcome of this contest lies in the hands of those who choose to ride in it.

Head-to-head: Riders will have 1 complete lap each heat and will be judged only against the rider they are riding against. The better run moves on to the next leg of the bracket.

LCQ: If at anytime you are eliminated from the main bracket you will be put into the LQC bracket and will have a chance to work your way back into the finals. You must lose twice to be eliminated from RGR.
