In short

Snowboard Street Style uses a course with rails, boxes, wallrides and similar features. Riders can choose between different lines. The course should combine different feature types, permit sliding and spinning in different directions, and provide safe transitions. Its design should not give an advantage to one stance.

Rails, boxes and line choices

Read the announced format

Street Style belongs to Park & Pipe, rather than a timed racing discipline. The announced format determines how performances are ranked and which attempts count. A jam session is permitted only at the competition levels specified in the rules; it is not the universal format. A knockout final is another available format.

Independent explanations and translations, not official federation publications. References: ICR = sporting competition rules; Equipment = technical equipment specifications. Numbers refer to PDF viewer pages. Topic numbers are editorial. Snowboarding includes timed gate races, snowboard cross and judged park-and-pipe events. Slalom and giant slalom reward fast, correct runs; parallel events add direct duels. Snowboard cross combines terrain features with racing in groups. Halfpipe, slopestyle, big air and street style use judging rather than simply the fastest time.
