Judges and Criteria

Teton Gravity Research athletes, staff and production team members will review the videos and pick the first place and grand prize winners. Athlete judges are TBD, and will be announced before the contest ends. Quality of action and level of riding are the main deciding factors. A tight edit with your best footage will probably score better with the judges. Length of video is not a deciding factor. We need to see enough to see your skills. All decisions by TGR are final. TGR reserves the right to make any changes to the format, rules, and submission requirements at any time during the contest.
