The Crankworx Colorado Slopestyle course is designed by John Cowan and Gravity Logic. The slopestyle is a single-line course featuring drops, dirt jumps, elevated wall rides and elevated stunts.

Format:
Total field size of the semi-finals is 20 – here's how it breaks down.

10 riders will be pre-qualified. These riders will include the Top 6 finishers from the 2009 Crankworx Colorado slopestyle event plus the top 4 from Freeride Mountain Bike World Tour ranking as of Monday, July 26, 2010. Note: If there is any overlap, between 2009 results and FMB World Tour rankings, additional athletes will be selected from the World Tour ranking.

In addition to the pre-qualified athletes, the Top 10 athletes from the qualification round will advance to the semi-finals.

Semi-final Format: The riders best score of 2 runs will be used to determine who moves onto the Super Finals. The Super Finals will include the Top 6 from the Semi-Finals. In the Super Finals, the Top 6 will keep their best score from the Semi-Finals and attempt to better it in 1 final run. So in essence, the Top 6 places will be determined by those riders best run of 3. In the super-finals riders will go in reverse order from the Semi-Final score.

• All athletes are expected to attend the rider’s meeting
• Helmets are required
