I often think about this and would like to hear opinions, the most important things for me is :

1. A consistent speed throughout trick or line (roll up and roll away)
2. Nice catch
3. finger placement on landing

Do your top 3 things that you think are most important

1. No rules
2. No rules
3. No rules

I think finger placement is probably the biggest thing

In my opinion the pop (and obviously the height) of the trick is preety important too ... That's because:
1. If the trick it's too low it will loose style since you have to flip the deck faster and the trick won't be as clear as it should without slow mo
2. If the trick it's too high it will look unrealistic and kinda random ,like when we were all starting fingerboarding and we just "poped" as hard as we could to make the deck hit the ceiling (at least me and my buds used to do that))

actually have some speed and do not slow down.

finger placement.

Rolling in and rolling out
fluid movements/no stopping in the middle to pop something
landing bolts

Pretty much sums up what i think!
I can't consider a landing with the fingers tight to eachother a well perfomed one, when i land like that i don't count them as i did the trick.

Yeah this is a good point also, agreed XD and yeah we all done that haha

I think fluidity is most important. Your ability to keep speed and work with whatever gravity gives you. Being really light on your fingers and finger placement are also important, but I think each trick exists on its own and cannot be judged off of a rubric. Each trick has its own nuances and reasons for being sketchy or clean.

precision

cant argue with this.

A nice dust free desk, indoors preferably. Can't help to give the deck a once over with a wet wipe too.

Basically try to make the trick so it is as 'perfect' as possible.

I've seen sketchy tricks look clean so i have no idea how to answer this question.
