Judging Criteria:
The Red Bull King of the Air judges evaluate the rider on the basis of and overall impression score that will combine:
Height: Go as hard and high as possible! The height in combination with extreme moves is priority, but we will also take the horizontal distance traveled in account, combined with certain powered moves
Extremity: Controlled extreme high moves! Think about extremely powered and/or extremely technical, or ultimately a combination of this as long as it is performed on a proper height. As well as: progression, amplitude, variety, execution, and grade of difficulty of the trick.
NOTE: Extreme action does not relate to low freestyle tricks, or lame/straight/easy jumps, for that matter. We will look only for high jumps, skill and combinations of moves. Other things we take into account are: angle of the kite, length in the air, control, landing. The final score determines the definitive winners
