JIB ‘N’ TWEAK HOW-TO
Are the pros on the mountain fully dissin’ your weak steez? Your basic tricks
just not cutting it in front of the cameras? Try some off-axis tricks like rodeos
and corkscrews—just press the D-pad or move the left thumbstick in any
diagonal direction. You’ll need to know a few terms and a few advanced moves
to properly pummel your critics into submission. Here ya go—study up.
THE THREE Js
JIB:
To ride on a non-snow surface such as rails, logs, photographers,
and so on.
JUMP:
To propel oneself off the ground, a ramp, or a fellow boarder’s head
by muscular effort of the legs and feet. (To do this in Amped, hold down the
A button and release. Also, move the left thumbstick or D-pad in the direction
you want to flip or spin prior to jumping and you’ll rotate faster during
the trick.)
GRAB:
To hold the edge of the snowboard with your hand during a trick.
These tactics should help you impress more pros and flip out the
media—both of which keep you on track to become the planet’s top-
ranked shredder.

LAUNCH YOUR CAREER
So you want to be a pro boarder, eh?
Maybe even the number one rider in the
world? Well, that’s gonna take buckets
of blood, sweat, and tears. The road won’t
be easy, friend, but it can be done.
First off, you need exposure—and
that requires a sponsor. Beat a few high scores
and play for some media coverage on a
couple of levels. Then you’ll be on your
way to invading Gunny’s Gulch and
gaining a shop sponsorship.
From there, you’re just a sick rail
transfer away from unlocking
the SlopeStyle event to
become a sponsored pro rider.
Once you’ve accomplished
this, aim for domination of the
Jib-Fest.
If you can just keep your eyes
on the prize, you’ll be a superstar
in no time.
Ride on. –

GET BOARDIN’ FAST
When you just want to get on the mountain fast, select
QUICK START from the Main Menu. If you want to change
the boarder, choose BOARDER SELECT. After choosing your
boarder, select START RUN to go to the Level Select menu.
There are two Quick Start levels available initially. (More
levels can be unlocked through career mode.) Select a level
and press the A button to choose a drop point and ride.
Playing Quick Start will not advance your career or get you
any sponsor rewards. Your only goal is to beat the top five
scores posted for the level—and rip.
