TIPS

Hold onto grabs as long as possible. 
The longer the grab, the more it’s worth.

Tricks will be worth less if they’re repeated on the 
same run. Mix it up to keep the scores coming.

Wanna see your aerials earn you more points? If 
your stance is switched when you take off, you’ll 
earn bonus points.

Hitting a jump’s sweet spot (just before the jump’s 
lip!) gets you the most air.

To transfer from rail to rail, move your Balance 
Meter to one side and then press 

A

 to Ollie off 

the rail. To control your balance, move the Left 
thumbstick Left or Right.

To get out of a half-pipe, click and hold the Left 
thumbstick button as you approach the lip to go 
over it instead of launching straight up.
