Hints & Tips - How to get more points - All trick-button tricks give you a bunch of points depending on how long you hold them. - Do airs - Do spins in the air - the more spins you do, the more points it's worth. And using the trick button does NOT help this value at all as it is scored separately. To really spin, haul ass accross the wave, and just before you launch, hold down the turning button and a direction. Work on timing out the landings. You should be able to do at least a 900 with every surfer in this manner. Do lots of these in a row for quick points. - Go though the tube, and do tricks while you are in it - Go under the pier and the oil rig - Don't hit the dolphin! (this costs you a lot of points and hurts your board) - Try to stay on your board (wiping out costs you points and hurts your board) - Hit the UFO - this gives you a lot of points(7500), but causes everyone but bucky (who doesn't get near as many points - 1000, or 2000 if he is doing the scorpion at the time) to wipe out. How to get crazy amounts of points Air over the pier at the end of your run (hard) - 10000 points - Air over the break (hard) - 10000 points Air over the oil rig (bloody impossible!) - 20000 points - If you time it right, you can air over just the corner of any of these and get the full amount of points! This is the only way to clear the oil rig that I know of. Other notes - When the UFO is over top of you, all scores are doubled! - If you do a trick in the air, it's score value is doubled! - Bucky can 'bounce' off of the UFO without wiping out. This is one of the only ways to do a ridiculous insane! (2 900s) In contest mode, wiping out damages your board. Especially bouncing all the way across the oil rig. Each character plays different. They all have different speed, acceleration, and steering capabilities, which become impaired as the board condition worsens. Save your game after every run, you never know when you'll have a crappy run. Watch the timer! Important stuff like the pier, oilrig and breaks happen at the same time, every time. Use this knowledge to your advantage. Surfer Stats turnability - the speed at which the surfer can turn acceleration - the rate at which the surfer can pick up speed top speed - the surfers top speed traction - the amount of sideways slide the surfer experiences during sharp turns in inversely related to this attribute, and this also has a small amount to do with their ability to land a big air Please note that sometimes a high value in a stat can work against you, so the following chart may be a little misleading. Although it may seem that the points are distributed unfairly in the below chart, all of the surfers behave uniquely in certain situations. The highest scores are not always achieved with Bucky or Lee, I've seen all of the surfers decimate the 30000 point mark on one run at one time or another. And without cheating, either.
