The event will be judged by pro riders, pro riders will drive the boats and falls aren't bad, they're encouraged. Awards will be handed out daily for best crash, best trick, biggest air and best use of sliders. They are obstacles placed throughout a wakeboarding course to turn the lake into a skateboarding park. Riders hit, slide, jump off or over the obstructions to get even bigger and better air and improve on their bag of tricks. Unlike other events, the Just Ride Series is timed.
Riders have five minutes on the water to come up with their best stuff.
While not riding, fans can catch their favorite pros at the judges' booth, or in the Malibu boats. Pros will be driving and, with no definite boat path, it will be up to the driver's discretion where the run will take the rider. Now comes the best part. Only the top tricksters will be at Malibu Just Ride events. The guest list is a who's who of wakeboarding.
