* If you can’t place in an event, move on and come back to it later.
  Winning other events further in the Tour will unlock new parts to 
  beef up your bike. Then come back and ace those troublesome tracks.
* Finishing the World Tour requires you to get 1st place in every 
  event in the 10th stage. Do this, and you’ll unlock character-
  specific ATV shells for every character in the game.
* In Freestyle events, go for the Star powerup as early as possible.
  The sooner you can pull off a special trick, the better.
* Holding down a face button while doing a front or back flip will 
  modify your flip and give you even more points/boost.
* A purely freestlye bike isn’t always best for every freestlye track.
  If you’re having trouble winning a freestyle event with a freestyle 
  bike, try your race bike instead. Sometimes being fast over jumps is
  more important than getting air.
