2 runs and 5 tricks for each, the best 4 scores count

What is the difference between run and tricks?

Runs are 45 seconds long, tricks is just one and done 'trick' that has no time limit, but you can only do one.

No, it's just an "interesting" way of introducing an athlete, let's go with that.

They have the same "score weight" or run are more important than tricks?

It is quite surprising they're not using helmets here by the way. Quite surprising for the untrained eye, that is.

Helmets are required for U18 skaters, and optional for others.

Too bad. If this remains Olympic, it wouldn't be surprising (or wrong) if that gets changed, like in snowboarding or freestyle skiing.

Oh well, that's simply important nowadays

 

I'm starting to try and look down less on those things, especially since literally every 'generation' looks down and ridicules the things of the younger 'generation' and will continue to do so. The TikTok generation of today will look with just as much ridicule to the things that the children born today will find interesting and fun when they're 15-20  

 

Spoiler

Although I'm still having a hard time taking TikTok serious, it might also be because of the name which just sounds so silly.

It looks like street skateboarding is contested in a park. Where is park contest then? Maybe in streets ?
