TRICKS
Strap a board to your feet and display your innate ability to twist and contort your body while airborne.
GRABBED AIR TRICKS
Grab your board in funky ways while flying high.
TO PERFORM A GRABBED AIR TRICK:
•
Press and hold the button to crouch as you approach a jump. Just before the end of the jump, release the button to take off.
•
While in the air, press the L1 button, L2 button, R1 button, or R2 button to perform a grabbed air trick.
•
Show off wilder grabs by pressing two or more of the above buttons at the same time.
•
To tweak a grab, press and hold the L1 button, L2 button, R1 button, or R2 button + the button when the Adrenaline Meter is NOT full. Your body twists as you perform the trick, increasing the difficulty of sticking the landing. Remember, you must perform the grab, then tweak it.
•
As your body falls closer to the snow pack, release all buttons and level out the board for a smooth landing.
ROTATION TRICKS
Ever wonder what the mountain looks like from the air, upside down, and at a 45-degree angle?
•
Press the D-button to spin and flip. Pre-wind by pressing the D-button while you are crouching to spin and flip faster.
TO PRE-WIND A SPIN OR FLIP:
•
Press and hold the button to crouch as you approach a jump.
•
Press and hold the D-button in the direction you want to spin or flip.
•
Release the button to jump while continuing to hold down the D-button.
•
When you get close to the ground, release all buttons to prepare for landing.
BOARD PRESSES
Throw down some fancy footwork and test your balance skills between air and rail tricks with nose and tail presses. Press the right analog stick to perform a nose or tail press. Hold it as long as you can to maximize points, but be sure to ease up before your rider loses balance.
Rotate the right analog stick around to spin your press and hang it out to the side. This will help you regain balance and maintain those presses.
RAIL SLIDING
Grab even more points by pulling off stunts on fallen trees, rails, and other rail slide opportunities. TO RAIL SLIDE:
•
You can simply ride onto a rail, or press the button to jump on one.
•
Press the D-button to rotate counter-clockwise or clockwise on the rail.
•
Press the left analog stick to adjust your balance on the rail.
COMBOS
String tricks and presses back-to-back to create a combo line. Every trick you do in a successful combo line is worth double the amount of points, plus a bonus for each trick. The later in a combo you perform a trick, the higher the bonus. Remember, if you fall during a combo line you will lose all the combo points you have accumulated.
HANDPLANTS
Handplants can be used to access shortcuts, upper or side pipes, and even transition lines.
ÜBERS AND SUPER ÜBERS
When the Adrenaline Meter is full, it glows and it's time to execute your sweetest moves. Make sure you have enough air or a long rail-these tricks take extra time to pull off! TO BUST OUT WITH AN ÜBER OR SUPER ÜBER TRICK:
•
When the Adrenaline Meter is full, get some serious air and tweak any of your 4 basic grabs, or the nose and tail grabs, to start the ÜBER trick.
•
Perform 4 ÜBER tricks to spell ÜBER and open the door to even more insanity with Super ÜBER tricks. Use the same button combinations for ÜBER tricks to unleash Super ÜBER tricks. •
If you manage to spell out SUPER ÜBER, your Adrenaline Meter stays full for a short period of time. Use this time to stay boosted and gain a massive speed advantage.
•
All ÜBER tricks can be held to max out points gained-just hold down the grab and tweak buttons and watch your points rack up. ÜBER TRICK CONFIGURATION
Open the Rider Details screen at any Lodge during Conquer the Mountain mode to enter the ÜBER trick Configuration. Here you can preview, purchase, and activate new ÜBER and Super ÜBER tricks. SINGLE EVENT PAUSE MENU
