Damon Plus Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I bought CG without manual, and I don't know how to play the skateboarding game. I've read the Html manual here at Atariage, but I can't seem to get any speed and can't even jump off the ramp. I'm starting to get a bit angry....

Damon Plus Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I've tried that lots of times, but it doesn't seem to work at all. Do you have to turn every time you go up the ramp and down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogcorn Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I've tried that lots of times, but it doesn't seem to work at all. Do you have to turn every time you go up the ramp and down? Funny, I was just trying to re-discover the halfpipe today. The essence is definitely learning the timing of holding DOWN on the down part and UP on the up part, as P.A.M. said. And yes, you have to turn on each trip or you won't build any momentum. The first 3-4 trips, you can only do kick (non-aerial) turns. Press the A button while you're in the last section of the pipe. Don't hold it too long or you'll crash. The manual is wrong - the place to do the kick-turn is on the last section, not the second-to-last. After a few trips, you'll have just enough momentum to get a tiny bit of air between you and the ramp. Now you can do aerials. As soon as your board leaves the ramp, hold the A button ONLY long enough to hit a clean turn in the sky. Hold it too long (or too short!) and you'll crash again. At first, you'll only be holding the button for a small instant. But if you keep succeeding, you'll keep building momentum and be able to hold the turn longer. Eventually an aerial can be as much as 999 points. My ex-roommate's high on this event is almost 28,000. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to get a bit angry.... the longer you hold the button down (a), the more points you get in the air. your goal after you get some speed is to try and make a 180 degree turn while holding the a button. if you hold the a button too long, you'll "turn to hard." thanks 4 making play this game...

Damon Plus Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Thanks for the answers. Now, I can play it normally. I've just gotten about 16,000 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Plus Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 My high score. Not bad, considering I learned to play just 4-5 days ago :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Since the aerial turns are worth so many points, is there really any point to doing the "hand plant" tricks? Other than variety? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
