Tricks
Pulling tricks in Free mode is a great way to rack up points. Tricks include grabbing the board and spinning in the air.
Board Talk
"Standard" stance is riding with your left foot forward, closest to the nose. "Goofy" footed is the other way, right foot forward.
How to Perform a Trick
When you get air (jump) using a bump, wall, or other "bonking item" on the track, press the X, Triangle, L1 or R1 button. Pressing the Triangle button (default) to jump higher makes it even easier to perform a trick.
Grab Tricks
Press X button in the air. This is a trick where you grab the board in the air. You can perform various grab moves by combining the X button (default) and different D-Button presses. The longer you grab, the higher the points you get. Each character has different types of grab moves.
Flip Tricks
Press Triangle button in the air. With this trick, you rotate vertically in the air. You can flip only once during a jump by pressing the Triangle button (default).
Spin Tricks
Press L1 or R1 button in the air. With this stunt, you rotate horizontally in the air. The longer you press the button (L1 or R1, default), the more your character will spin and the more points you get.
Advanced Tricks
You can combine some basic tricks for more advanced techniques. Try various combinations. For example, try the "Grab to Grab."
Grab to Grab
Do 2 grab moves in a row.
Example: Lila (refer to chart, page 9) Indy Grab + Tail Grab (In the air) + X, Triangle.
Combo
When you perform combos, the Combo Timer appears and counts down. Perform another combo trick before the timer runs out and get bonus points added to your score. If a trick's point value added below a certain level, the trick is not counted as a combo.
You can also combine a grab with a flip or spin. If you jump high enough, you can combine more than two tricks. Give it a try and you rule!
Style
Set the style for your trick controls: NORMAL (assign a button to each type of trick) or COMMAND (combine the D-
