The courses are usually short, one run lasting about 30 seconds. It is filled with Dirt jumping#Types of jumps, tabletop jumps, doubles and bermed turns. Both riders' times are taken, and then they switch tracks for another round, whereafter, the combined times are counted, and the slowest rider is eliminated. The winner moves on to the next round until they have 2 riders left racing in the final. The first dual slalom race occurred at Mammoth Mountain, California 1987.
