Mode Details
Crowd Jam
Score the biggest and best tricks you can manage within a given time limit. Select a stage and perform moves within the limit, as the spectators are the judges. Only the best score earned is saved for each character.
•
Crowd Meter: Pump up the crowd by mixing up tricks in your run. This meter shows the crowd's enthusiasm for your performance.
•
Hint: Throwing the same trick over and over again will decrease the level on the Crowd Meter. Try to have some variety in your run to keep the audience's attention.
•
Hint: Attempt to break the record by stomping tricks within the time limit.
Free Skate
Practice on any stage you choose with or without time limits. This is the best way to perfect your signature tricks. Time limits are set for 180 seconds, 300 seconds, or unlimited when you select a stage.
Time Attack
The clock is ticking! You are on a timed course with five checkpoints to collect as quickly as possible. Tricks count here as well, so mix it up as you move along. One fall could end it all. Pick up all five checkpoints and set a speed record.

Stages
Only the Tutorial and the Hillsbank Palisades stages are available when you first start a game. Work hard to unlock other stages as you progress. You never know where the different stages will take you; work hard and you might find yourself in outer space.
Tutorial
This is a great place to learn some of the basic moves of the game. Watch and learn as a character demonstrates some of the basic moves for you to try. There are six lessons total. If you don't pass one of the lessons, you must repeat it.
Hillsbank Palisades
The Hillsbank Palisades offers a little bit of everything: ramps, rails, open areas, as well as some tight spots. Keep your eyes open for some natural green areas that make the going a little rough.
