Tips & Warnings
To accumulate a high score, utilize the combo system by performing tricks in rapid succession. Keep an eye on the counter at the top of your screen to determine how much time you have to perform the next trick before your combo runs out.
You can cheat the combo system by performing a series of 180-degree jumps as soon as you emerge from the gate. Take advantage of this trick to raise your combo meter to 20 or 30, then finish the race.
