STARTING A RACE IN CIRCUIT MODE
Join the Freekstyle racing Circuit and race against the baddest riders for dirt superiority. Win big, and you get to unlock tracks, bikes, and more. Losing is not an option. CIRCUIT MODE FACTS
Racing in Circuit mode is the only way to unlock tracks. There are three segments of Circuit mode—Racing, Freestyle, and Freekstyle. Your first test begins on Monumental Motoplex. Racing
To progress through Freekstyle's Circuit and unlock other tracks, you need to place in the top three in the first 2 Motos. In the Main Event, you must place first to progress to the next track.
Once you've mastered all 6 tracks, the Crash Pad is unlocked and your first Freestyle competition awaits you.
Freestyle
Here you ride in a 3-minute Freestyle competition and your goal is to accumulate the minimum point total set for the track by pulling off enough sick tricks. Time plays a major factor. Once you accomplish the goal, you advance to Freekstyle racing. Freekstyle
In Freekstyle racing, it's back to the racetrack for the final 6 Circuit events. In this stage, there's only one event per track, but you must finish in first place plus achieve the minimum amount of set trick points to move on. NOTE: If you can win Freekstyle, you have proven yourself to be a true Freek. As your reward, you receive the ultimate freestyle level, The Burbs.
Unlock bikes by winning the Main Events on Monumental Motoplex, Burn It Up and Let It Ride during the Circuit races. Every new bike comes with new tricks and tweaks. After you unlock new riders, bikes, gear, and tracks, they become available from the Select Rider, Select Bike, and Select Venue screens when setting up a new game in any game mode.
To start a Circuit mode race:
1. From the Main menu, highlight CIRCUIT and press the button. The Choose User ID screen appears.
2. Highlight NEW to create a User ID for Player 1 and press the button. The name entry screen appears.
3. Begin creating a name (8 letters maximum) for your new User ID by pressing the D-Button or to highlight a letter. Press the button to accept. Once a name is created, select ENTER to finalize the name. The Select Rider screen appears.

NOTE: Just like some of the riders in the game, their gear has to be unlocked as well. Complete all of the tricks in your trick book to earn one new set of gear. Complete 20 combos from the trick book to unlock another set. From the Select Rider screen, press the D-Button to highlight the character you wish to choose. Press the button and the Select Bike screen appears.
RIDER ATTRIBUTES
Every rider has five attributes—Speed, Boost, Control, Jumping and Landing. Each rider has different default values. Each bike adds to these values. Completing Circuit mode events can earn you additional points that you can allocate to these categories.
SPEED
The more speed your bike has, the faster it goes on the track.
BOOST
Boost gives you added acceleration.
CONTROL
If your bike has good control, you'll have better traction on the track.
JUMPING
Excellent jumping skills can increase your ability to get bigger air.
LANDING
The ability to land your jumps and save a rough landing depends on how much landing skill you have.
UPGRADING YOUR RIDER
As you make your way through each level of the Circuit, you earn points along the way. Use these points to upgrade your character in any of the Speed, Boost, Control, Jumping, or Landing categories.
Points are added quickly at first, but the closer you get to maxing out a category, the
