GRINDING
When you jump onto a grindable surface, such as the edge of a planter, a rail, a bench, etc., simply line yourself up with the edge and jump to land on it. You will automatically grind!
COMBOS
Trick combos can be performed when you complete a trick before going into a grind or when leaving a grind.
In addition, if the line up is just right, you can jump from one grinding surface to another to create huge combos for a whole lot of points.
POWER UPS
•
The "T" Power-Up - Along the tracks, you will sometimes find a power-up in the shape of a "T." If you grab this power-up, you will have turbo for ten seconds, propelling your scooter to faster speeds.
•
The "B" Power-Up - You will also sometimes find a power-up in the shape of a "B." This is the Bonus Power-Up. Any tricks or combos that you perform while this power-up is active will be worth TRIPLE the points!
OBSTACLES
Obstacles change from track to track, but they come in some basic categories:
•
Ramps - These are perfect places to perform tricks off of or to jump onto a grindable surface.
•
Hazards - Avoid these at all costs or it'll cost you...in time lost. You hit these, you bail. Some hazards include cars, oil slicks, and fences that stand in your way.
•
Grinding Surfaces - As you approach the edges of these obstacles, be sure to jump at the right time to perform a grind and get some sweet points! If you don't jump in time, prepare to bail.
MODES OF PLAY
There are three different modes of play. They are as follows:
•
Championship - Race against 7 opponents over 7 different tracks to become the Freestyle Scooter Champion. Collect money and points along the way so that you can upgrade your equipment. If you don't have time to race on all 7 tracks...don't worry, after you finish each track a handy password will be given to you.
•
Racing - This is a single race. Simply select a track and go to it. There are no prizes for finishing second, to succeed you must finish first.
