You must get 20 in each section with a total of 85 across the 4 sections.

One hazard will make you change speed, course or direction. This is a scoring hazard. You are scored from 5 down to 1 point. The sooner you identify the hazard, the higher the score.
One clip will have 2 scoring hazards.
You can score a maximum of 75 but need 57 to pass.
