The Clock
At the top of the screen, you see a three-minute clock. When you run out of time, you have to start over.
The Speed Gauge
Here you see what speed you're traveling. Skate straight at max Speed 8.
The Segment Count
This number counts down segments of the pipe you have to travel 'til the end. Each pipe has a different segment count, so don't quit thrashing 'til the fat lady sings.
When the Segment Count box blinks, it just means you got 3 more segments to go.
