===Consistency, 0–25 points=== | ====Consistency, 0–25 points==== | ||
Consistency refers to a seamless, fluid routine that is free of mistakes. Points should not be deducted for occasional planned stops, or for controlled changes in tempo and pace. Points should be deducted in this category for mistakes, missed tricks, unplanned breaks in flow, and excessive number of stops-and-starts. Note that a fluid, interesting routine can conceal mistakes. It is up to the judges to decide how much an error hurts the routine. | Consistency refers to a seamless, fluid routine that is free of mistakes.

The Artistic category encompasses numerous elements: Style, form, ease, and control of the entire body and skateboard. Musical interpretation. Originality in style and technique. Use of the entire competition surface. Transitions. (The space between elements can be as important as the tricks themselves.) | The Artistic category encompasses numerous elements: Style, form, ease, and control of the entire body and skateboard.

Variety in technique. This does not necessarily mean performing elements from each and every technical category, which might encourage formulaic skating. But a perfect score should only be awarded to a routine that, within the chosen approach, shows an interesting, exciting variety of elements. | Variety in technique.
