General Tips
1) If you can not place in an event, just move on and come back to it later. Winning other events further in the Tour will unlock new parts to juice up your bike. Then come back and ace those troublesome tracks with those upgrades!

2) Finishing the World Tour requires you to get 1st place in every event in the 10th stage. Do this, and you’ll unlock character-specific ATV shells for every character in the game.

3) In Freestyle events, go for the Star powerup as early as possible. The sooner you can pull off a special trick, the better.

4) Holding down a face button while doing a front or back flip will modify your flip and give you even more points/boost.

5) A purely freestlye bike is not always best for every freestlye track. If you are having trouble winning a freestyle event with a freestyle bike, try your race bike instead. Sometimes being fast over jumps is more important than getting air. Just not ass cool looking!
