There is a reason there isnt a downhill... There once was but it has been removed due to too Many injuries. Its possible with ski's because the can switch edges of the ski's way quicker than snowboarders can
I rode at USASA nationals with JJ in my same age group, he was as good then as he is now..... Weird that he was in my age group (13-14 I think it was) and now he’s 6 years older then me🤔
The winner of the round is whoever has the shorter combined time over both courses, so the delay is the same amount of time as you were behind on the first race. That way the winner of the second race is the overall winner, and it's obvious to the racers if they're still behind or not
