Cheat Codes/Hints
Clear BMX path
Position your bike approximately one pixel above the location where the grass meets the dirt to avoid all obstacles including the hay bales.
Extra surfing points
You can do an Unreal 360 (five 360s) for 1,200 points instead of just getting 600 points for a Quadruple 360.
Faster footbag spins
Jump, hit the footbag with your head, then immediately spin to spin faster than normal.
Four player mode
Use the Comlynx connection to link up to four Lynx systems together. Several attempts may be needed for a successful connection, and game play will be slow.
Glitch: Crash game
The game may crash during the BMX event if you hit the bale of hay on the bottom of the track just before the finish line.
Glitch: Invisible object
During the BMX event, if you are riding very fast while you cross the finish line and jump slightly after crossing it, you will crash into an invisible object at the far right.
Pelican ride
Run your last surfer towards the bottom of the screen during the final few seconds of the surfing event. Your surfer will land on the pelican that flies across the screen until time expires.
Rescale screen
Press Option 2 while skating in the Half-pipe event to rescale the screen.
Ride a pelican
In the last few seconds of the surfing challenge, position your surfer at the bottom of the screen. A pelican will fly past and the surfer will jump on it's back until gameplay ends.
