TTR Explains New Live Scoring System

by Lorene Voskinarian : August 15, 2010 - 12:07 : : 0 comments

A live scoring system may not sound so exciting because really aren't they all live? But Snowboard Live Scoring System (SLS) that was used at the Burton New Zealand Open may totally change the future of snowboarding. 

In most competitions riders are given an overall impression score - meaning judges give them one score for how they did as a whole on their run. In SLS, riders are scored on each trick for a total trick score that is added to the flow score for their overall score. There are plans to implement this scoring system for all TTR 6 Star events this season.

Want to learn more? TTR has put out this video explaining how it works.

Remembering Krista Moroge

by Lorene Voskinarian : May 25, 2010 - 09:03 : : 0 comments

Three years ago, while living in Utah, I had the chance to meet Krista Moroge. As the owner of a very successful sales rep agency and a true ripper, she was someone many women in snowboarding could look up to. So I asked Krista if I could interview her for our Jobs for the Girls series. Krista's interview was smart and funny and I know many people enjoyed it.
