Any score is alright, you'll still get points towards the season championship.

Woo Hoo 214 Bitchen


I'm finding it best just to do a flip when the bike goes airbourne.
Avoid those little blue things.

That's great.
i never made it to the finish. I have to be getting close.

[ACrystal2011]

you made 214 without getting to the finish??

[PFG 9000]

I'll put this one out there to encourage some friendly competition. I hope to do better than this since there's a full month to go yet, but I got lucky in this game and landed a fancy move through sheer luck.

550


EDIT: Forgot to mention, I came across an unfortunate glitch where my game froze up on me. I had to turn off my Lynx to get out of it. I'm not sure exactly what I did to trigger it. Hopefully it was something minor, like my game card not being seated firmly into the Lynx. But it freaked me out, because I had gotten what was at the time my high score, 485, and I had no way to get back to the score screen to prove it. Thankfully I got lucky later on and outdid it.

Yeah, you gotta keep doing those flips.
The toughest part for me is that big drop downhill.

It would be cool if someone made a map of this course.
I remember in the 2600 HSC a few years ago someone made a map for Skateboardin'

[ACrystal2011]

LOL shoulda read the manual Didn't realize i could do flips.

320

[Amstari]

I also came across a glitch, my bike got stuck upside down. The game didn't freeze though. I couldn't do anything but the time kept counting down!

[Tempest2k]
