There are lots of Olympic sports (that are sports) but are judged and therefore subjective.  I'm no expert in gymnastics or diving or ice skating but I can generally see when one person is better than another when they are doing the same routine or move. It gets interesting when they do different routines or moves.  Then you need to know which particular move is more difficult and should get more marks as a result.  Hence expert judges are involved and scores are assigned to moves. This is where Rampage gets interesting.  You have multiple lines, multiple moves and a judging criteria that is maybe not best understood.  I think if the judging criteria was set out (and published in advance) with moves and associated scores (like a video game) then it would be easier to follow and less would be up for discussion.   The other factor is which lines gain higher scores... etc, etc. The worry about going down this route is that it all gets a bit formulaic. For me Rampage is about gnarly lines down a mountain with a few tricks.  The emphasis is on the line, not the tricks.  Recently it has been more tricks, less gnar.  As such I have not bothered to watch the last few years as i'm not really a fan of slopestyle
