1080 Snowboarding Hints

Extra Points
When you do a board grab or a one foot hold the last button to do the move and it will give you extra points.


Mountain Village Tip
During the Mountain Village Course you will see a red-pink car in the road near the end of the course. Go directly up the front of the car to get a high jump and pull of a big combo for lots of points. This is one of the really good jumps in this course.


Mountain Village Tip 2
Towards the end of Mountain Village in 1080 on the left side you will see a road that goes up a hill. Go to the hill full speed and keep pressing up on the control stick so you won't lose speed. At the top go to the right ad then jump. Do as many moves as you can as you are flying. You will hit the ground in about 7-8 seconds near the car jump.


Easy Tricks
This is for those of you who just can't get the penguin board. When you are in Training mode, pick a move that is very easy to do (example: Meloncholy or Lean Air). Get good air and do the trick you picked first. After you do the trick, while still in the air go to the trick list and pick a move you cannot do (example: the 1080). When you land, the game thinks you did the move you chose second. Best of all, the move you chose second shows up red on the cheat list!


Dragon Cave Shortcut
In the beggining of Dragon Cave you will see two signs that tell you that you have to take a turn don't take the turn and go off the cliff and you are pretty much guaranteed to win.


Dragon Cave Shortcut 2
Recently while playing 1080 snowboarding I found a hidden tunnel. To get their you must have Dragons Cave. After crossing the first bridge you come to a fork in the road. At the fork hang a left. Then keep going till you come to the end the guardrails, there hang another left. You'll then have to jump a valley to enter the tunnel. While in the tunnel keep going straight and you will come out the side of a mountain.


Camera Tricks
Recently I have been screwing around with 1080, and have found out, when at the main title screen tap up-C and you will now be in control of the camera!!! Joystick moves left/right and D-pad zooms in and out. Note: This also works in Instant Replays. Tap up-C again to return to the default camera view.


Hidden Area
In 1080* Snowboarding there is a hidden part of a course. First take the free ride part of training mode. Once there go far right as you can. About halfway down the course you will find snowboard tracks. Follows this track it is sort of like a hidden course.



Crystal Boarder
To Get the Crystal Boarder beat expert mode and go to Akira and hold Left-C and hit A.



Metal Boarder
Win the expert mode with the Crystal boarder. Now on the character selection screen highlight Kensuke. Press C-Up, and then A (you should be on the sceen that shows character technique, speed, balance, power and jump).

Now on the character selection screen highlight Rob. Press C-right and then A (you should be on the sceen that shows character technique, speed, balance, power and jump). If you've done it correctly you will see Rob's picture replaced with the Panda Boarder at the track selection screen.
