I just bought my first Lynx and got it in the mail today. Been playing California Games a lot today and am already good at BMX! My highscore is 431. I didn't take a screenshot though, but hey, I'm trustworthy! I run the Jaguar HSC after all!

And for the heck of it, my highscores for the other 3 Cali games:

Surfing - 2525
HalfPipe - 1481 (How the heck do you gain speed!?!?!, all I could do is turn...)
FootBag - 2697

I need some advices for this game. It's probably the one CG event I do worse at.

BTW, when is the Skateboarding HSC going to be? I'm pretty good at that one, getting +30,000 each time I play.

When I played this game (a while ago) I always stayed in the middle (track can be remebered more easily) and sometimes pressed A+B together for an extra high jump.

BMX isnt really that tough, its all about hitting the back flip button at the right time. and realizing when to just press nothing at all. you can stay in the very middle most of the time, but once in a while you need to go up or down just a pixel or 2.

my best is like 900 or something, i forgot.

30k on halfpipe is pretty awesome dude! Radical! Personally my favorite is Surfing. I'm getting close to 10,000. But can't
quite do it.

EDIT: I just in fact broke the 10,000pt mark in Surfing today :-) slow day at work. haha. 10515 to be exact. took a pic and everything. Hope the Lynx HSC does surfing sometime.

Great job!
I would love to see the video of that!

The key was mainly in succeeding to land two double forward flips, both on the two big drops. It requires a lot of luck.

The first one is easy, just ride off the edge of the first big drop without jumping (doesn't always work though).

The second one is trickier. When approaching the second big drop, press the flip button right at the last second so that you propel forward with extra speed. With a bit of luck, you will land in a spot that makes you do a double forward flip (sometimes a double back flip). Looks awesome when you do pull it off.
