When you think about snowboarding, this is probably what comes to your head, big jumps and big rails. Slopestyle is the main competition for snowboarding and truly is the all encompassing competition for the sport. Majority of slopestyle competitions start with 3 rail gardens which is basically 3 separate areas with rails, so the snowboarder has to grind on 3 separate rails to complete the first part of the competition. The rails come in a different variety of angles, widths and lengths, allowing maximum rider creativity.
Following the rail section of the slopestyle course is normally 3 big jumps back to back to back. For the most part, all of these jumps are identical and massive. For some courses though, there is a smaller jump involved in the middle to show off a really nice style trick in between two massively technical tricks. On these jumps, snowboarders throw a a variety grabs to quadruple corks. It’s really about who has the most send with the most style. Through and through this is the best competition snowboarders can compete in and is featured through the Xgames, Burton US open and the Red Bull Signature Series.
