If there are three (or four) main elements to the competition, make them all co-equal, and have a "tech" winner, a "drops" winner, and a tricks winner, with Brendan, Lacondeguy, and Rheeder winning each of these in 2018, for instance, then have the overall winner, Rheeder, who combines all three. Maybe a fourth category for speed or smoothness. It wouldn't change the current format that much, but it would elevate the components that contribute to their own unique status and offer riders that really epitomize one component (again, Fairclough), some official "win". Kind of like the sprinters and hill-climbers each...

5 Judges all isolated from each other. I head judge (Who does not do actual scoring but makes sure judges get all the info they need in terms of replays, etc and is communicating judging criteria to judges and riders, basically making sure his judges can do the best job possible) Throw out high and low score, that way the final score is an averaged one of three judges. This takes out any bias both high or low from friends/countrymen etc (im not sure they may even do this already) Judges are named and their scoring is visible to all...

Seems like a good way to simplify damping with the abiltiy to use linkage ratios. What would this whole package mean for service? Less, more or equal to what a normal telescopic fork would need?

I really like the look of these
