In a skaboarding compitition you are givin points for the tricks you do. the more complicaded a trick is the more points your are rewarded. In some cases there are limited tricks you can do if the the space you are given does not give yoou a big run up(the distance to gain speed). Other times you are limeted to rails or ledges so you can only do tricks off of what your are given. At the end of a compotition the winner is chosen by best tricks and most points.
