Herkies Or Hurdlers?

[redshark]

What does your team do?

I personally think that herkies look better, but are they scored differently? Like is one considered more difficult than the other? Because one of our score sheets at a Jamfest competition said our jump sequence wasn't difficult and mentioned the hurdlers (I can't remember their exact words) so I'm just wondering if herkies would score better next year?
Thanks!

Was it a side hurdler? Jamscore counts that as a basic jump, hopefully one of the others will get back to you on whether a herkie gets advanced or basic. Check out the grids and clarifications publications to get the breakdown of how they score your sequences:

Wow thank you so much, those break-downs were so helpful, I never would've found them on my own!! And I think we did front ones then!

Hurdler! More difficult, and prettier :]

Hurdler is considered an advanced jump by JamBrands. Side Hurdler (Herkie) is not.
