Big air competitions are contests where riders perform tricks after launching off a man-made jump built specifically for the event.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.yobeat.com/issue14/bigair.htm/ |title=Making it Big in Big Air |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160311174639/http://yobeat.com/issue14/bigair.htm |archive-date=March 11, 2016 }}</ref> Competitors perform tricks in the air, aiming to attain sizable height and distance, all while securing a clean landing. Many competitions also require the rider to do a complex trick. Not all competitions call for a trick to win the gold; some intermittent competitions are based solely on height and distance of the launch of the snowboarder. Some competitions also require the rider to do a specific trick to win the major prize.<ref>{{cite web|title=Big air competitions|url=http://schneefreunde.com/|access-date=5 Sep 2016|archive-date=September 16, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916122323/http://schneefreunde.com/|url-status=usurped}}</ref> One of the first snowboard competitions where Travis Rice attempted and landed a "double back flip backside 180" took place at the 2006 Red Bull Gap Session.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.snowrev.com/Search?q=red+bull+gap+session/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101031141959/http://www.snowrev.com/Search?q=red+bull+gap+session%2F |archive-date=2010-10-31 |title=Search Results |website=snowrev.com}}</ref>
