A few races are based on your trick score, but the tricks are not your traditional Tony Hawk button combo (mashing?) style. The trick scores are accumulated through landing big jumps, popping wheelies, and getting through the gates that give you extra boost. The turbo boost feature quickly becomes a strategic part of the racing as you slowly regenerate it during the race but there are gates along the course that will recharge your boost gauge quicker. http://naildbiter.com/QzmNF
