So how the hell do you play this game? Hints and Tips? | Forums

I have been enjoying the game so far, but now its like i have hit a brick wall (from king of the hill hard to all the extreme tracks!). Is there a button im missing or something!!
As for platinum, I cant even get close on the easy tracks and Im going flat out the whole time!?!

Does anyone have any tips for - Flat jumping, hill climbing odd shapes and pixel perfect control?

What bike is better out of the 2x 250cc? Do i need to use the last one to make the jumps on extreme etc because of its acceleration?

This game is close to being shelved and never played again, ive usually mastered something like this by now, but its not clicking. (Especially as I purchased it on the basis of community levels to extend the lifespan - which you cannot actually do!)

You really just have to be patient. I JUST beat King of the Hill because I stopped rushing and tried different approaches to each section than usual. Trust me I wanna pull my hair out sometimes but its rewarding in the end. Everyone so used to easy games these days. Remember 9times outta 10 on climbing you really gotta barely squeeze the throttle and tap it in extreme levels. I hold back and tap throttle all the way down, and when my rear wheel gets lined up with my front i let off the gas and push forward for bunny hops. Some sections with small platforms and gaps require you to bunny hop accross then keep riding on you rear tire and jump to the next platform. Youll get better DONT SHELF IT! if thats even possible with an arcade game......

I agree with Billy... I myself am stuck on king of the hill and all of the extreme lvls but I find myself getting better the more I fail... Even if I try one thing 200 times and fail... I will watch the replay and then go play an easier level and try to get a better medal! Then I usually get farther and farther on the harder level.... Except king of the hill is really kicking my ***! Haha

keep it up man!

Edit: oh and a huge help? I went to the trials 2 section and videos... I found a jumping vid for spring and switch jumps.... It helped meso much with flat jumps and things like very steep hills with a small obstacle in the way!

yeah the king of hill is killing i got stuck on that one too so i looked at the reaplay when jorma did it and was going wtf how the hell so i tested again still did not managed to complete the those boxes so i turned on some music on so i got bit less frustrated and then i just made it
so try to calm down and watch the replay of some1 that done it

I was surprised I got through 2 extreme levels and can get quite far into the other 2. I play a hard section for a few hundred faults then I go do something else. Then next day i can get a little further. When you do overcome something it feels great!

I basically learned to play this game by doing this....

- Watched replays from the top players
- Skill games to practice my riding skills (Climbing mini-game really helped me)
- Used the Level Editor to create some challenging obstacle to help me overcome some hard or extreme tracks.


but what i would like to see in the near future is a DLC Track pack with the extreme maps cut into sections.
That would help to practice certain parts instead of dealing with the fault limit and time limit and of course avoiding having to start the track from the start to reach the destination you wanna practice.
