Global Competition

See how you compare to riders across the globe! For 

Just Ride

 mode, Xbox 

Live

 tracks your scores in order to show your worldwide rank. This way, #1 

means #1.

Your cumulative 

best High Score and Media Score, Best Trick, and 

Best Combo

 for all mountains are tracked by Xbox

 Live

 leaderboards.

If you’re looking for a little stiffer competition, try out 

Session 

mode on 

Xbox 

Live

. Don’t worry about leaderboards here. What happens on the hill in 

Session 

stays on the hill.

Get on the hill with buddies all 

over the world, no matter how far 

they might be from the snow! 

Xbox 

Live

 can make it happen. 

To fi nd out whether Xbox 

Live 

is available 

in your region, go to www.xbox.com.

They’re on every mountain. The varsity. Elite Packs of local 
riders; always together, tearing up the bowls or just chillin’ in 
the park. Get in with one and you’re set up with sweet spots, 
tricks, and the constant pressure you need to improve.

And if your Pack is unstoppable, people will notice. They’ll 
know your Pack by name, and they’ll know you’re that good.

The Pack

This important piece of mountain culture makes its debut in 

Amped 2

. Join a Pack of riders, or start your own. Your Pack’s 

ranking is not only affected by how well you ride, but by how 
well the other members of your Pack ride.

To create a Pack, visit www.xsnsports.com. Once you’re set 
up with XSN Sports, you can create a Pack and invite players 
to join, or you can join someone else’s Pack. Packs can have 
4 to 16 members and you can only be in one Pack at a time.

Events

So you think you’re 

the

 style master? Try putting it to the test 

with a style-only Event. XSN Sports gives you the ability to 
make your own custom Events. Style, combos, jibs, any way 
you want it, just set up a start and end date, what mountains 
will host the Event (you can have one- or three-mountain 
Events), and up to 64 contestants can take a shot at the title. 
Keep an eye out for sponsored Events on www.xsnsports.com 
and win sweet stuff with your 

Amped 2

 skills.
