Start with lane changes and short jumps. Once you can land safely, add barrel rolls and flight. Watch for overhead obstacles when you leave the road.
Manage air before using boost
The thrusters share a 600 L air supply. Hovering, front flips and boost need air. Refill on the ground, collect air pickups or land tricks: a front flip restores 10 L and a barrel roll restores 40 L.
At 0 L you can still steer, jump, barrel roll and slam down. Return to the ground to refill instead of holding boost continuously. Air cells also charge ROCKET, except while you are invincible.
Build longer runs and trick streaks
- Keep a landing route clear. Look beyond the next car and avoid jumping into an overhead obstacle.
- Use air in short bursts. Save enough for the next obstacle and refill between flights.
- Land tricks before chasing a streak. Successful trick chains increase the streak multiplier, up to ×50. A plain jump does not extend the streak.
- Watch the streak timer. Start your next jump or trick within 0.5 seconds after a combo ends; complete a qualifying trick to keep the chain going.
- Choose your ranking goal. Distance and score have separate views, with all-time and weekly leaderboards. Surviving longer and landing more tricks support different goals.
