Inline Freestyle

The Slalom Classic is one of the first-born discipline in the inline freestyle: the athletes skate on a musical arrangement and the judges asign scores on the base of technical and artistic criteria. On a technical side, the tricks must be blended to allow the athletes moving fluently and, of course, the speed and the rythm of the performance are important as well. In addition, the skaters should integrate different slalom tricks such as sitting, spinning, wheeling and so on and the difficulty of the performed tricks affects the technical score. The artistic score is assigned paying attention to the body performance, music expression and trick management.
