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.
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.
