Steer

You can take very tight turns. If you drag your mouse faster than your board can turn, then your board will follow up pretty quickly. No matter how hard you steer, you won't loose speed

Crouch

• Increases gravity in air and on ground.
• It also increases your grip. The grip is strongest when you begin to hold the crouch key or when you land on an edge (also works without crouching).
• Crouching makes the player smaller too.
• If you fly upwards, crouching cancels your ascension.
• When you begin to crouch mid-air you'll get a tiny downward boost.

Jump

• It doesn't matter how long you hold the jump key. You can do a shorter jump by interrupting it with the crouch key (shift).
• Jumping makes your collision shape smaller by pulling your "legs" up. When ground is in reach your "legs" / collision capsule will extend again

Land

• You conserve the most speed if the platform you land on matches the angle of your velocity. This is less relevant when landing on ramps. Landing on ramps always gives you more speed (unless you land on the same ramp twice without touching anything else in between. This prevents bunny hopping on a ramp to gain speed. A bowl or pool counts as two ramps, if you touch it on two opposing sides).
• Landing somewhere higher then where you jumped off slightly slows you down. Sometimes it might be worth to ride up an uphill instead of jumping over it
• Landing sideways or backwards initiates a drift which slows you down

Kickflip

• This gets taught in lvl B1.
• Jump before a ramp and then jump again when touching it mid-air. This will initiate a Kickflip which gives you twice the jump height. It works on horizontal and vertical ramps (quarterpipes).
• The jump key timing is pretty generous and it doesn't matter if you hit the jump key slightly before or after collision.
• You can only kickflip on the same ramp once, unless you touch anything else in between. When you kickflipped from a ramp you don't get the landing advantage on that ramp anymore, unless you touch anything else in between.

Grind

• Grinding doesn't give you speed, unless you're grinding on an orange/yellow rail. Then you'll accelerate constantly.
• Grinding downhill or uphill will affect your velocity the same as when riding on the ground normally.
• You can crouch while grinding.
• You can exit a grind either by letting go of the grind key or by hitting the space key. Both result in the same.
• When you exit a grind you perform a short dash that disables gravity for a short time, or until you collide with something. So instead of giving you upward momentum like with a normal jump, you simply have a few ticks where gravity is ignored.
• You dash into the direction your camera points
• You can tilt your board left and right by looking around, but that won't affect your speed and also not the distance you travel. But it'll move your collision shape a bit, so you can evade obstacles.

Spring Jump / Heelflip

• This is a kickflip that gives you even more height
• Perform it like this: Fall a good amount -> hit "jump" before touching a downwards tilted surface -> launch yourself against a ramp -> do a kickflip
• Practice it in lvl A7 on the second ramp or A13 in the halfpipe
• When spring jumping, all your initial falling velocity gets re-applied when you do the final kickflip. The higher your faling velocity was, the stronger your Spring Jump will be

Skateboard

The default. You can only grind in levels starting from level B3. Exception: You can't grind in level E10.

Longboard

Like the skateboard, but can't jump.

Scooter

• Has 10cm/s base speed instead of 5.
• Can time travel with R/T.
• Only occurs in freeroam levels.

Car

• Cars drift constantly.
• Oversteering is recommended.
• The speed you loose when drifting backwards gets charged and re-applied.

Time Travel Car

• Has 10cm/s base speed instead of 5.
• Is a mix of the Scooter and the Car.

Ramps

• Most things that point upward and end with a sharp edge are considered ramps.
• Landing on ramps conserves most speed than landing on normal ground.
• Ramps can be used to initiate a Kickflip.

Checkpoints

Goal

The phsyics run at 60 ticks per second, so to calculate your exact time of collision with the goal, the game checks how deep you went into the goal on the current tick.
