BMX STAR HINTS AND TIPS

Read the help page inside the game. You press space to turn around, and lean backwards while riding to gain extra speed.
- Submitted by David

For riding on the walls and ceiling: Ride a wheelie almost vertical and hit the wall, you will stay in the wheelie on the wall and ceiling while still accelerating.

If you are sliding upside down, and have some speed, tap the brakes to flip yourself upwards. Remember, you need to be facing the way you are sliding or it may not work.

When your health gets low, let it get all the way up before trying anything risky.

Try playing BMX backflips to gain riding experience.
- Submitted by Steve Smith

On Slippery Slopes II, use the drop time at the start to do a frontflip. It only works with frontflips, not back.
- Submitted by Devin

When you flip over onto your back, try to find a slope or jump to go off of.

When trying to get to high places, hit the jump as hard as you can, then in mid air be completely vertical. Then, when you get close to the landing, lean forward and it'll push you further to your landing.

When you land on your back, accelerate and then hit the brake while leaning forward. With a little training, you can get back up again most of the time.

To go up a high ramp and come down properly, place your front wheel so it barely touches the ramp and hit the spacebar. It'll put your back wheel in its place. This really helps.

If you see the red star right next to you, but you think your score is low, you can try doing backflips to gain points, then collect the star.

When you rotate, you rotate primarily around the back wheel. When you are going for a big jump and spinning, you can use the space bar to change which wheel is your back one, and use that to propel you farther.

When you go off a quarter pipe and are going straight up, but need to get over a ledge at the top, make sure your back wheel is facing down.
- Submitted by Gavin

When going up a quarter pipe with the intention of turning around and using it to gather speed, keep your back wheel down a little longer, and use it to keep your front wheel against the wall, then when you turn around, your back wheel is against the wall, and you can make a smooth and speed-increasing transition.

If you lean too far and start to go over backwards hit the brakes. This immediately corrects your angle at the cost of some speed. You can use this technique to do extreme wheelies. Note that your front brakes also work and are very helpful in some situations.

If you are trying to get up on a high ledge but only manage to clear your front wheel, you can still make it. With your front wheel on the ledge, immediately hit and hold your brakes, start leaning onto the ledge, and then hit space to change directions. Keep leaning and holding your brakes. Lean ALL THE WAY back, pulling your wheel up onto the ledge and over your head. As soon as you start to tip over, change directions again and start pedaling. Once the other wheel touches the ground, you can use Jesper's trick to flip yourself upright (get some speed and then hit the brakes). This will take about 90% of your health, but it usually works. I use this trick all the time on Extreme Aerial.

When you jump and are about to hit the ledge above you, flip so your wheels hit the ledge instead of your head. This way you'll keep your health.
