Trick point strategy
Adding Grab tricks into Spins, Flips, and Mistys increases
your points. With this in mind, use the tricks that give you the
most points to score higher. The following are grab tricks, from
most points to least. Also, standing Fakie and doing Spins, Flips,
or Mistys Backside will give you more points.
Tweak: Press [Down], [R1], [L1]
Indy Nosebone: Press [Up], [R2], [L2]
Melancholy: Press [Down], [R1], [L2]
Stiffie: Press [Up], [R1], [L2]
Nosegrab: Press [Up], [Up], R1
Tailgrab: Press [Down], [Down], [R2]
Stalefish: Press [Down], [R2]
-Tied- Mute: Press [Up], R1
Indy: Press [Up], [R2]
Shuffle: Press [L1], [L2]
Method: Press [Down], [L2]

Spin faster
Hold [Square] while spinning to spin faster.
Stunt in Big Air
When you are in Big Air hold [X] + [Right].
When you get to the ramp release the buttons. If done correctly,
you will do a good stunt. Do it successfully in two attempts and
you will finish first.
Extra points
Adding grabs to your flips, spins and mistys are very
helpful for points. Adding the combination of a Stiffie to Nosebone
while in Fakie is very effective because the are worth at least
500 points. A good spin or flip can get up to 700 to 800 points,
so you can get approximately 1200 points a jump with the right
border comp. Use Jin for mistys, Irin or Yaggi for spins, and
Boss or Alien for anything.
When you start the the first level of the championship, instead
of going straight, curve off to the left and make a jump. If you
jump high enough to the right, you will jump on top of the building
and get some major air and a lot of bonus points. Note: This only
works doing the free style. It is recommended if you are playing
as Snowman.
Easy points
Use the following trick to score at least 35 points.
On the first wall, either an Alley Oop 360, or regular 360 with
a Grab, Indy or Mute, or Stalefish. On the second wall, a regular
Grab (Mute, Stalefish, Indy Nosebone). On the third wall, a Fakie
Backflip with or with out a Grab. On the fourth wall, another
Grab (Indy or other). On the fifth wall, an Alley Oop Johan Twist,
or Crippler w/540 with or without a Grab. On the sixth wall, Shuffle
360, 540, 720, or higher. On the seventh wall, Shuffle to Fakie.
On the eighth wall, finish. You should have enough tricks landed
and combos made to make at least 35 points, plus you can add in
new tricks as you go.
Snowboarder performance

Secret boarder performance
Boss is overall the best boarder in the game. Boss cannot be used
in the competition mode, but can be used in the half pipe, big
air, and two player modes. His best event in big air is Titan's
Toe. If you perform a Fakie, Backside Misty 1080 , Stiffie To
Indy Nosebone and get a good landing, will rank a score of about
1580 points.
Gray is the best spinner in the game. Like the Boss he cannot
be used in competition mode. He can perform spins such as 2160s
and higher. Gray is also very slow and has a SP board that can
suck you into walls.
Snowman is the worst for doing jumps. Do not use him if you are
trying to get points, but he can be used as a racer.
