The race was a mini-series down multiple courses with a unique point system to determine the winners upon finishing. There was three different racecourses and although they were short, each course featured a mini-kicker ramp to add to the level of technicality. Racers earned points depending on their placement in their heats, and were given an extra point if they successfully executed the kicker ramp.

Starting board-less on the line facing uphill, racers would have to run to grab their decks where they would then turn and finish kicking back to the designated starting line. There was not an unlimited push, so that meant by the time you got back to the starting line you had to be riding gravity. This would cause for some pretty heavy pile-ups down most the courses where riders faced a quick right 180-degree hairpin on the narrow paved trailways.
