Credits/Notes [Updates] v1.0 - Added an Overview, Board Trick List, Character Trick List, Trick List/Point Values. [Overview] What is an Uber trick? An Uber trick is a special bindings-ignoring, gravity-defying trick that your character can execute once their speed boost "Tricky" meter is filled. How do I fill the Tricky meter? If you land successful tricks, those will fill up your boost. If you screw up a trick, bump into objects, press select, or fall, you will lose some of the boost. You can completely fill the Tricky meter instantly by scoring a knockdown on someone during the race. How do I know when my character is ready to execute an Uber trick? There is a circle above the speed boost meter on the right side of the screen. If the circle is shaded grey, your meter hasn't been filled yet. If it is red and rotating, your character can execute an Uber trick any time they're in the air (key word: execute). Your circle will remain red and your character will be Uber-ready for a while, and can be kept that way be executing successful Uber tricks or regular tricks that put your meter over the top. You will lose ability to do Uber tricks immediately if you: 1. Take too long without doing tricks to fill your meter. 2. Take too long to do an Uber. 3. Unsuccessfully complete an Uber and fall. 4. Do any stunt with a grab and fall. 5. Do a high-spin/rotation jump and fall. (note: you can botch up small rotations as long as you don't grab) 6. Fall off a cliff/into water. 7. Press select. You cannot lose your ability to do Ubers by slamming into obstacles or being pushed down. Your Tricky meter, however, will still drop. What does the "tricky" above the circle mean? A letter of the "tricky" turns red every time you land a successful Uber. If all the letters are red (i.e. you complete 6 successful Uber tricks), then you have unlimited speed boost AND ability to do Ubers for the rest of the race/run. This status cannot be undone no matter how many times you fall, screw up Ubers, press select, or otherwise. However, this cannot be carried to the next heat or venue. Keep in mind that a letter counts for each INDIVIDUAL successful Uber. If you do two Uber tricks in one jump, you will get two letters of the "tricky" highlighted, not just one. This helps in big air situations like the air vents in Tokyo Megaplex or Alaska. How do I execute an Uber trick? You first have to jump, preferably over a ramp or a place where you can get good air time (there is no such thing as a ground Uber). While in the air you can either perform one of four generic tricks that your character shares with others, or perform their special character-only trick. To execute a general trick, hold only one shoulder (L1, L2, R1, R2) button, and then press the square button. Your character will immediately start doing the Uber trick. To execute a character-specific trick, hold R1+R2 if you're playing as Eddie, Marisol, Seeiah, Luther, JP, Moby, Mac, Kaori, or Psymon. If you're playing as Elise, Zoe, or Brodi, hold L1+L2 instead. There is a catch, you cannot execute a character's special Uber if you're not using their preferred board type (e.g. You can't do Elise's La La La Lock Step on a freestyle or alpine board). You do not have to hold the shoulder or square button as they are executing the trick. How do I land an Uber trick? That's the hard part. Uber tricks require a longer time to execute because you can't interrupt or pull out in the middle of them. Uber tricks require their animation to finish before they can be landed. Some Uber tricks take longer than others to execute, and as a whole, character-specific Ubers take longer to execute than most general Ubers. [Board-Specific Uber Tricks] No trick can be done on more than one type of board. It is impossible to do a trick normally found on a freestyle board on an alpine or boardercross board, and so forth (e.g. Can Cans can only be done on a freestyle, and not on a boardercross or alpine).

There are 4 general Ubers that can be performed on each of the 3 types of boards, and 1 Uber that only that character can execute on their preferred type of board. Each general Uber is assigned to one shoulder button (as labeled in the top row of each table). The character specific Uber is listed with the two-button combination that needs to be pressed in the row above. ------------------------------------------------------------------- |Eddie | L1 | L2 |

I'm not 100% sure if a higher point Uber indicates that its animation is longer than a lower point Uber, but that seems to be the general trend. The difficulties are all relative to each other. I came up with the difficulty ratings by subtracting the lowest point Uber from the highest point Uber and dividing that difference by nine (so (22580-13210)/9=1041 1/9). To get the difficulty rating of an Uber, I subtracted the lowest point Uber from its point value, and then divided that by the scale factor (1041 1/9) and added that to 1.
