Sonic Riders

Ramps usually lead to shortcuts. To reach these shortcuts, hold A for as long as possible (without slowing to a complete stop), then release it at the very edge of the ramp.

Once you collect enough rings during a race you will level up. The stream your character's board leaves will change colors, and his or her attacks will become more proficient.

Here's a tip: once you unlock the SEGA tracks, you should be good enough to win all 5 races in either set of tracks in world grand Prix.

When you see the end of the turbulence created by the jet, you will see a ramp. Go forward and make your jump maximum without slowing down, and hold the Analog-stick Up. If done correctly, you will cut half of the automated trail and reach the top faster.
