CTRL+F -> 1ABC, ABC being the first 3 letters of a range. 
For instance: 
1ROC would be the Rockies in World Tour

 [1000] World Tour 
o------------------------o

The whole idea of World Tour is basically Team SSX vs. Team Griff. Griff is 
now an enemy of Team SSX, after defecting from it. He was the source of most 
of their funds, so now Team SSX is doing Deadly Descents and streaming it 
online to gain support and revenue. By building an elite group of 9 
snowboarders, Team SSX plans to defeat Griff in the race to finish all the 
Deadly Descents. The first drop of each Range is where Zoe tests each 
memeber of SSX to see if they are up for the Deadly Descent. Here are all 9 
Mountain Ranges and some tips.

1. Rockies (Trees) - Take it slowly.
2. Siberia (Ice) - Hug the sides, avoid too many jumps.
3. Patagonia (Gravity) - Learn the route, then try again.
4. Himalayas (Thin Air) - Get down to the end, using oxygen sparingly.
5. Alaska (Avalanche) - Learn how to use the Reverse Camera and stay to the 
left.
6. Antarctica (Cold) - Avoid the left side, and save your boost for the shade.
7. Africa (Darkness) - Headlamp SUCKS, so get used to the route.
8. Alps (Rock) - Take it slowly.
9. New Zealand (Whiteout) - Take it slowly, and don't jump too much.

..................................
. [GRUDGE MATCH] Himalayas - Zoe . 
..................................

Alright, so you've unlocked everybody on Team SSX and finished every Deadly 
Descent! Griff is angry, so he challenges Team SSX to a final Grudge Match 
to decide it all. Zoe steps up to the plate to finish that spoiled brat off! 
This is not mandatory, but to unlock Griff for free you need to finish this. 
It's a madly annoying race, so be prepared for the frustration.

[Lhotse]
-Death Zone: Race It!
Grudge Match (Wingsuit, Headlamp)

Zoe will have the equipment she had from the last drop, so you can go change 
it there. The trick to this is getting Tricky before you get to the darkness,
and just manual through the darkness. Use the wingsuit to get ahead instead 
of going on the ice through all the turns.

Once you finish the Grudge Match, you're done with World Tour!

 [5000] FAQ
o------------------------o
Q: What happened to the old SSX controls?
A: You can change them to Classic in the RiderNet menu in settings.

Q: How do I use [insert gear name]?
A: Before an event starts, you can equip gear. 

Q: Who is the best character in the game?
A: Whichever you are best with!

Q: How do I improve my trick and race times?
A: For trick events, don't break your combo. For race events, learn the drop, 
and use your wingsuit if need be. For both, get tricky ASAP and keep it the 
whole time.

Q: Is it possible to get the Platinum Trophy?
A: Yes, but you must participate in the event with 50k people. As of 
3/17/2012, this has not happened on the PS3.

Q: How long do Geotags last before they expire for full value?
A: 24 hours. 

Q: Is there multiplayer?
A: Yes and No. Yes, there is online multiplayer. No there is no splitscreen 
multiplayer. Online multiplayer features a system known as RiderNet which 
lets you join an event, and get credits for your score once the event expires, 
as long as you join within the time frame, making it very flexible for 
everyone to play. Offline splitscreen multiplayer was impossible to make due 
to the limitations after making so many mountains and drops.

Q: Suppose I have x amount of friends. If I do a run and beat 6 of the 12 
posted scores by my friends, how much credit towards the badge do I get 6 or 
only 1? And does it matter if I just selected the event or if I chose a 
challenge through Ridernet?
A: You get the credit for the amount you pass, so 6. And it does NOT matter 
if it was a challenge through Ridernet.

Q: What are "ghost" wins? And when do I get credit for my ghost wins? Do they 
have to challenge my ghost through RiderNet?
A: After you complete a drop in Explore, a ghost is saved for all of your 
friends to try and challenge in their own game. If your friend tries to beat 
your ghost and your score is the first highest score after theirs on their 
list of friends for that drop, you get 10% of the credits that they would 
have gotten for beating your ghost. And no, it does NOT need to be challenged 
through RiderNet.

Q: How do I level up characters quickly?
A: Keep playing! Easy ways are getting tons of golds, buying expensive 
Geotags with a high level character and placing them with your lower level 
characters, going through survival events without gear/rewinds, and in trick 
events, doing as many different tricks as possible to get a huge bonus.

Q: Why does it say I require a certain gear in Explore/Global Events?
A: You don't require that gear, it is just recommeded. Actually, it's 
sometimes better to not listen to their recommendation.

Q: How long does it take to complete World Tour?
A: A few days, depending on how invested you are. If you play nonstop, only 
between 2-5 hours. World Tour is meant to be a tutorial.

Q: How long does it take to level Characters?
A: A long time, don't be upset if it's taking a while. Level 9 to 10 is a 
LONG time.

Q: What happens if I do a duplicate trick?
A: You don't get as many points and you might lose your tricky.
