Open new track packs
The game starts pretty easy, but as you complete each skill level track pack, you'll move on to the next for some serious challenges.
The tutorial shows you the ropes
The first level of the game gives you tips on how to perform all the basic moves.
Drag down for down slopes
The drag-down-and-hold move is great for both speeding up on down slopes, and racing through rolling jumps or "Whoops."
Through the Whoops
Drag down to speed through the low rolling jumps. Editors note: I didn't quite pull it off here.
Down slope speed
When you master the pull-down-and-hold move, you'll race down hills to build up speed.
Pull up to jump
The game helps you along showing you when you want to jump in the tutorial level.
