NEW FOR 2022:

Series Ranking Point System: In 2021, we used a 10-point system when determining overall series rankings. (A first place finish earned 10 points; A tenth place finish earned 1 point.) This year we will be moving to a more varied 100-point system, which should help eliminate multiple ties in the series rankings.

Alternates: Event registration per stop is capped at 35 total athletes across all categories. Once registration is full, we will continue to accept interested athletes on an alternates list.

Alternates may be given the opportunity to compete if a registered athlete drops out, or if the pace of the event schedule day of allows for more competitors. Priority will be given to alternates from the competition category with the lowest number of pre-registered athletes.

Per FMB rules, athletes with an FMB World Tour license are granted highest priority access to the competition.

Series Ranking Point Distribution

1st	100 points
2nd	80 points
3rd	60 points
4th	50 points
5th	45 points
6th	40 points
7th	36 points
8th	32 points
9th	29 points
10th	26 points

FOR ATHLETES

Registration for 2022 will open on Wednesday, February 23.

There will be a $45 registration fee for each event.

ABOUT THE FREEBIRD SLOPESTYLE SERIES

Competitive slopestyle at Highland has a long and varied history, from the Claymore Challenge and Spring Training sessions of the 2000s to the US Open of Slopestyle that took place in 2019. The Freebird Slopestyle Series was created in 2021 to provide a new platform for up-and-coming riders in North America. We especially wanted to highlight the ever-growing women’s slopestyle scene, as well as offer a competition opportunity for the youth athletes who are already playing a part in defining the next generation of slope.

To relive some our favorite moments from 2021, read our Stop #2 Recap or watch the highlight videos.
