Back and frontflip
Get a powerdown and boost it about 350 feet before
a ramp. When you are in mid-air, hold [Up] or [Down]
to perform a backflip or a frontflip. Note: You need a lot of
speed and a very fast bike.
Tricks in mid-air
When you approach a ramp, get enough speed up and once
you have jumped off it, hold [Triangle] for a Powerdow. You
can actually pull it off in midair and land it by releasing [Triangle]
before you land. You can also do this with a Surfing Powerdown,
but you have to release the trick button and [Triangle] to
land it properly, or you will crash. You can also Powerdown onto
a ramp and do a rotation trick on it. Note: You do not get any
extra points for doing a trick in midair, just for the jump distance.
Dodge cars while turning
While turning, press [R1]. Wait until you are
in front of a car and point the Left Analog-stick the opposite
way that you are turning. You will keep turning, but at a slower
rate. Note: Do not release [R1] until you dodge the car(s).
Caught on camera speed
On every level, there are cameras which will photograph
your speed when you pass them. Sometimes you need a certain speed
to obtain "Respect". To do this easily, obtain a "Powerband".
Press [R2] approximately 350 feet from the camera to Powerband
past it with speeds in excess of 250 mph.
Glitch: Loading saved games
Some versions of the game will not find a saved game,
even though on is present on your memory card. To fix this, before
actually playing the game for the first time, enter the options
screen and make a save game there. Then, saved games created during
game play will be successful.
