TRICK COMBINATIONS AND CHAIN BONUS
Increase your score with trick combinations and by chaining together sets of tricks.
Pulling a trick displays the Chained Trick Clock (at the bottom of the screen), which begins counting down seconds. The bigger your trick, the more seconds will appear on the countdown clock. The higher the number of seconds you can achieve, the more time you will have to set up your next trick.
Pull another trick before the countdown hits zero to chain a set of tricks and earn a point bonus. A counter under the Chained Trick Clock keeps track of how many times you chain tricks and increase your bonus.
