[. . . ] Execute combos by performing combinations of grab/rotation moves in the same "trick" (the time between the jump and landing). For example, jump and do a grab move and then if you can manage to begin a second grab move before the follow-though of the first move is complete, the two moves will be executed consecutively in the same trick. If you try to cram too many moves into one trick, your boarder may not make the landing in time and take a tumble. The method used to perform this trick is basically the same as when performing a horizontal rotation trick. While pressing and holding the Jump Button ( ), press and hold or and when the Jump Button is released the boarder will begin to rotate. The rotation speed is proportional to the length of time or was pressed. Of course the angle of the board in relation to the ground surface is essential to making a successful landing. Obviously, if you attempt a landing while the boarder is upside down, your boarder will crash-land. combo tricks inverted tricks It's possible to earn an even higher overall trick point total by combining combo and specialty moves in the same trick. The more combos you manage to execute in one trick, the more trick points you will earn. As explained previously, a specialty trick requires a certain combo command to execute. If you add in another move just prior to making the combo command, the specialty trick will then be preceded by two tricks. Of course, the specialty trick earns the highest points, but the bonus earned by the preceding moves added to the high score specialty trick yields an even higher total point score for the whole trick. If you can master this technique and perform it at will, you'll be earning some mega-high scores. earning the highest possible trick points 10 11 Manual Final10_8_99 7/19/00 2:30 PM Page 12 CHARACTER INTRODUCTIONS & Jimmy A sports-loving college student, Jimmy's main interests include rock climbing, mountain biking and video games. Make sure your boarder makes it to the goal within the allotted time, or you're a loser!The five main courses and the requirements that must be met to gain access to them are as follows: GAME MODES Compete against your favorite rival using this novel racing mode where trick expertise is key. By busting tricks you can earn attacking power or extra thrust, both of which can have more effect on the race outcome than mere speed. Select from two types of challenges, a split-screen position battle called "Line Versus" or a rocket-booster race called "Trick Boost". free ride match race - BATTLE "line versus" A completely new and unique aspect to this mode is the ability to win a match race by using the splitscreen to your advantage. Execute tricks to effect a "line attack" which will move the dividing line of the split screen, shrinking your opponent's screen and making their race much harder. If done enough times you can even shut them completely out and win. Of course, you can still win the old-fashioned way of reaching the goal first but by using the following techniques, you'll be able to easily defeat more speedy opponents and improve your chances of victory. Course 1 Bone up on your skills with this slope-style practice level course. Be sure to mind the sheep! Course 2 Complete Course 1 to ride this tree covered run. Avoid the gullies and don't hurt the trees! Course 3 Place in the top 3 for Course 2 to hit the big bad city in a snowstorm. [. . . ] By the final section, this ratio can effect a huge attack. Although it is easy to earn line attack marks at the trick areas, marks can be earned anywhere on the course. Therefore it is better to hone your boarding technique to the point where you can bust high scoring tricks anywhere and everywhere. GAME MODES This mode is for those who prefer a pure and unadulterated race. Select whether to compete in time, trick or total, preset the size of the split-screen or even establish a handicap.
