Yeah, it lags for me also. Not 5 seconds worth but 1-3 or so.
Same.

Added you!
Really getting annoyed by the spin speed bug nowDammit EA, send the patch over to the EU!
Have you thought about trying standard controls? I find being able to easily boost while doing a ground trick makes a huge difference when it comes to keeping my combo going and my speed up on Trick It events.

I tried out the classic controls...why the heck are people subjecting themselves to that? I can understand debating stick vs button controls, but classic actually hinders your ability to be great at the game.
Depends. For many that played Tricky on the PS2 playing on the PS3 controller the classic scheme makes sense. I dunno how anyone on 360 can use it, the sticks work just fine for me.
Agreed. I was a huge fan of the classic controls but was struggling to get any decent scores. Switched over to standard just to give it a try and while there was a bit of a learning curve, I'm finding it a lot more intuitive. My scores are also a hell of a lot better since I no longer have to rely on the d-pad.

I played on PS2, but it doesn't change the fact that classic hinders my ability to be really good at the game. And it's not like standard controls are hard to grasp. They're incredibly simple actually, and as was pointed out above they make it easier to trick.

I used the classic controls since day 1 and couldn't even pass the world tour, switched to standard controls and after a few runs of brain re-mapping I'm doing 10x better.
Serenity Trick it FFFFUUUUUUUU!!!
Realy? First try 33thousand something and now I cant even get to that score and am stuck at like 25k... Ben652 aaaaaaaarrrrrrghhhhhhh
What music was playing...remember REMEMBER!
I love it ,but when I look at the clock I am amazed how many hours passed...
Also I am from EU and dont see anything about Travis Rice on FB page. So we cant get him....cool. And I was in such awe watching The Art of Flight. US...*sight

You guys... With my classic controls I never used the D-Pad to prewind/Spin/Flip [360 dpad sucks], it actually lets me use the Left Stick for spinning and flipping which is .... SO GOOD [on my fingers]. jaja
Classic controls are what I've been doing so well with on my trick it and race it runs, I'VE NEVER EVEN TOUCHED STANDARD FLICK-IT CONTROLS [Never touched the right stick]. I like the tactile feel of the buttons for tricks for some reason.

i want the original characters to be unlockable
also i've used classic controls for all my platinum and the one diamond times/scores i've gotten
Viggo was my main in 3, (even though the vast majority seem to hate him) with Allegra as second. I absolutely hated Zoe when I played SSX3 but she's grown on me. But since neither Viggo or Allegra are available for me I had to use my third choice Moby as a main for racing. Started using Ty for trick it, he reminds me a bit of Viggo so it felt natural.
EDIT: I started out using classic controller as well, but switched to standard as it was more logical, my times and scores definitely took a hit in the beginning but it was totally worth it.
Is anyone else almost constantly board pressing in race it by the way? Someone in this thread said he did it so I tried it out, really helps a lot when there are long patches of flat/bumpy land, since tricky never stops.

I've been doing this, but then I got a Legendary Level 10 Boost Board with Boost Perk which lets me hang onto Tricky/Super Tricky Time for much more time before I start to lose it... it helps since I can go faster when boosting alone/preloading.

Both, kinda. The boost stat makes it burn slower and increases speed when boosting.
There isn't. Would be nice if Ridernet rivals were a completely separate list though.
hmm i wonder if that's better than extra tricky time for race its
This is an issue because I'm real popular in the internet gaming scene, you know.

I would say, absolutely. Ideally in a race you should be boosting pretty much the whole time.
I guess in having trouble increasing and keeping my combo meter... It seems to go down even when I manual with square or circle, right? How do you maintain it when you unluckily get in a place where there are no opportunities for mad tricks? Like a long cave or leading up to a jump...?
Thanks for the tips on tricks earlier on. Getting around 7-8 million on some of the trick it courses and really enjoying it so far. Switching between World Tour and Explore modes.
I don't have any friends who have the game, so not sure how much I'm loosing out by not having the online pass at the moment. Might have to pick this up retail at the end of the week though.

You don't need a ramp to pop off a quick front flip in this game. Trick off everything. EVERYTHING.

Wait, what? Where? Bear Claw? I see you got a new race it gold record there, but it still shows me as #1 and you as #4.

I really wish you could set time of day on global custom events. Seems weird when the trick it is at day and the race it is at night, but for custom events it's always one or the other. Disappointing.
Yeah, that option would be really nice.
So someone messaged me via RiderNet notifications tonight. (The little boxes that appear in the top left that update you on friends' scores/times and badges you earn) I'm still trying to figure out how to do that.

I didn't even know that was a thing you could do.
The game has zero lag because players are not connected in the typical sense.
Watch this video for an explanation on the game's multiplayer mode.

Here's what I'm looking at. This is my score on Bear Claw:
That's just embarrassing (on my part). For whatever reason, I thought you were someone else, even though your friend request clearly said you're Wiggler.
How many global events have you placed in the Diamond bracket? Only asking as you're consistently in the top 3.
Wow, that's a really interesting way to tackle online play :O
I'll be sure to check more of it out! Thank you soltron. Sorry for my ignorance btw
It was one of the dev team so I'm assuming it's a button command that just isn't listed on the screen. I tried a bunch of stuff but couldn't figure it out.

That reminds me, I wish they'd flesh out the manual a lot more. At the moment, it's not nearly as helpful as it could be. It's missing a lot of information.
Ah, ok, hehe I thought that might have been the case, but wasn't sure.
I lost count, honestly. I've been owning the global events there for days now, with the exception of one or two rivals (I saw one guy get :54) that show up around this time of night to play. I can play it over and over and over though and get huge bank as long as enough people are on.
Here's what I'm looking at. This is my score on Bear Claw:
Hey! It's me!
And now I have to try and beat that!

My brother had his copy shipped to me because he is out of the country for a few weeks so I have been playing it. Bummer to find out that I can't get a few of the achievements and my Global Event earnings because I am not using his Online Pass.
