There are 2 separate BMX disciplines to be involved in, the Triple Hit and Best Tricks. Best Tricks will be familiar to everyone who has seen a Nitro Circus show, a 50 foot drop in to a 40 foot mega ramp. The Triple Hit is 3 back to back Box Jumps, each with an 18 foot gap, and will be judged on the best 3 tricks in a run.
