Non World Cup
discipline. This one is called Aerial's alter-ego.
In the Table
Top (aka Big Air - and if this is Big Air then Aerials is REALLY
BIG AIR!!), skiers fly off a gentler form of kicker and perform
flips, spins or grabs and then land on the same thing from which
they took off.
The big difference
in this event is that jumps allow the athletes to take off and/or
land backwards.
Judging
A panel of five
or seven judges award marks for Air, Style*, and Landing with a
DD multiplier.
* Style is essentially showmanship - how much personality the athletes
put into the jumps.
Competition
Format
Competitions
are either:
- Single jump
qualification round followed by a top-12 final or;
- Best one jump of two or;
- Best two jumps of three.
