Rider ▪ Classes! [/font] (Choose Your Destiny! )_______________________________________ [/center]
There three different paths for an athlete to choose in the world of Reach For The Sky. Each one has its pros and cons but in order for you to make a decision you need to be informed on what is out there right? Well read on as we have everything explained here.
Wave-Riders:Those that participate in the sport of Lifting are called Wave-Riders. These athletes use Ref-boards to ride Trapar waves.Specializing in Lifting is a common practice and a lot simpler than becoming a Hybrid-Rider. There is no rank requirement to compete as a Wave-Rider.
Storm-Riders: Those that participate in the sport of Air Treks are called storm riders. Specializing in AT is a common practice and a lot simpler than becoming a Hybrid-Rider.There is no rank requirement to compete as a Storm-Rider.
Hybrid-Riders: Those that participate in Both lifting and Air Treks are dubbed Hybrid-Riders. HRs are unique in that they can participate in both sports which makes them more valuable to a team. however mastering two sports is much more difficult than specializing in one sport. Hybrid-Riders must be at least a T3 Rider before attempting to compete as such.

Competition ▪ Styles! [/font] (Ride Your Way!)_______________________________________ [/center]
Once Rider has chosen their preferred sport of competition they then pick a style in which to compete. Like the Clasess, there are three choices each with benefits and drawbacks.
Racer: Racers are the riders that speed up and down the tracks. For these individuals its not about catching air or sticking the landing. For Racers its all about being number one. These riders specialize is speed and technique to get themselves across a finish line. On the flipside however Racers aren't particularly strong or good at performing flashy tricks.
Trickster: For the trickster only one thing matters catching air and showing off for the crowd. Its all about touching the sky and fitting in as many tricks as possible from lift off to touchdown. Tricksters are stronger riders and are more dexterous than racers. While tricksters are capable of building up speed for tricks they are not able to maintain said speed as long as racers can nor is their technique as solid as a racers.
Objectivist: Objectivists take in the best of both worlds and combine them to make a well rounded competitor. This style allows one to compete as a trickster or a racer at their leisure. With their wellrounded skills comes a drawback. Objectivists have no true competitive edge as they are average in all areas. This means while they can participate in either style of competition they have no competitive edge when starting out as an objectivist. Only with time and practice does an objectivist develop some specialization in their skills based on the areas they wish to focus one.
