There's not. Holding a trick gets it to Huge and Massive, which are worth more along with the spins/flips. The multiplier doesn't even go up unless a trick hits huge IIRC.

Uh, you look cooler?
Spin AND Flip with a single trick >>> Flip >>> Spin >>> mashing trick button like a maniac

On the other hand, Bear Claw is awesome.
I think people are scared of the GAF list, seeing so many names
People can add me too

It just happened to me on every event I entered. When I go back to it, it charges me the drop fee again. Not cool when I've entered a 1 mil and a 400k event :|. Now I'm just hoping I'll still get my credits when they end.
Huh, so spin and flip with one trick only is better than switching mid flight? I always thought including more than one grab would be better than holding one through the entire flight? If so, then my scores should go up starting tonight.
Works the same in the old games which I only figured out last year. Smh...
Oh wow. So wrong all these years. I am ashamed of myself...
Was addicted to the Serenity Race It event, but still couldn't get near a good time no matter which character I used, lol.
Looking for friends/rivals who aren't really gods at the game. PSN name is bluehat9, please send me a request (I guess you could send a request just to laugh and blow my scores away too if you wanted to too).

The real secret to tricking is doing a bunch of small tricks at the beginning to get a x5 multiplier or better.

Buckeye in New Zealand is really fun for racing, just a heads up. When you get the best line there's a huge adrenaline rush.

Racing, that reminds me...
I'm complete ass at racing. Any general tips?

This too, The good times I have in races, are out of a complete fluke, I don't know the exact balance between tricking and finding a good line.

Racing is my favorite branch in this game. The trick is to get Tricky ASAP and hold it. Use ground tricks (square and circle) to maintain tricky. Avoid rails since they slow you down but sometimes they shortcut a path in which case take them.
Also stay on the snow as much as possible. Boosting on snow is faster than boosting on ice which is faster than boosting on a rail which is a lot faster than sitting in the air not boosting. To give off a rail quickly tap L2 and the left stick simultaneously. And a board with good boost is better than one with good speed.

This is so true. On the trick run that starts immediately at the dam I was getting my super tricky up fast but my multiplier was low and even doing a super uber and holding it while dropping off the dam I wasn't getting many points. Instead I just got the multiplier up and did a regular trick off the dam and got many more points.
Hit as many flares as possible, and most importantly learn the art of jumping just before a ramp to avoid getting lift. You should be doing line-drives off of jumps, and not pop-ups.
Awesome tips, thanks man. Will give it a go later or tommorow.

Does boost increase speed while boosting or how easy it is to build boost? I've been using a lv10 epic speed board for races.

Pretty sure speed is how fast your board is and boost is a multiplier to that speed, but it easily out weighs speed. I find I boost is about 2-3 speed in value (when deciding your board) if you can stay in tricky state the whole time.
Downside to boost boards is they move slow on rails, even while boosting.
Yeah, put neuromancer on ignore.

I haven't had enough time on Global Events, but what feels like 90% of the community being on one run (Serenity) should send a message to the devs, right? That map is easily the best in the game for a variety of reasons.
More Serenity, less death pits please.

The ice pick felt kind of useless in the required survive it run v griff imo. Is it ever useful?

OMG! There is a huge huge huge drop in Buckeye if you can find it! You fall for 10 seconds straight!
Can't have any negative critical feedback in the OT now can we

Serenity is free and lasts for 1 week, lots of other ones have expensive entry fees and restart every few minutes/hours. Of course Serenity has the most people.
welcome to my world haha
They have to be on the harddrive, I think you gotta put them on the XBOX through CDs

Yeah. My Serenity run for the global event was really solid, with only 2 duplicate tricks and 140+ trick combo, and I only got 51 mil and platinum.

Last time I checked the highest score was 70mil. Just ridiculous. I have about 32mil.
Probably there is an exploitable somewhere.

I guess that google doc list isn't working lol.

The real kick in the nuts is the guy who got over 100,000m descended on the Intrepid survival event. Insane.
Yeah, there's no touching the Diamond survival events. I can barely clear 3 runs of these.
I think it's just easier to just ask around in the thread, the people who are most actively playing are the ones posting (like myself)
If you're on the PS3, feel free to add me, my PSN name is on my GAF public profile.

I cheesed my way to the "place in diamond 10 times" badge by being the only entrant in several different events about 4am this morning lol. Look for events in the backcountry peaks.
