Master the Hoverboard Race in Ratchet & Clank (2016)

AntMag.NET

Alright, so you've got the Hoverboard Race ahead of you, and yeah, there are some sweet rewards waiting if you can nail it. It might seem a bit tricky at first, but once you get the hang of the board's mechanics and how to string together some tricks, it's actually pretty straightforward. Let's break it down so you can snag those Bolts and that Holocad Pack!

Walkthrough

1
When you start, immediately take the left path. You'll want to hit that first SPEED BOOST. As you fly through the BOOST CIRCLES, make sure you pull off at least two tricks before you land.
2
After landing, look for a ramp on your right. This one leads up to another section of the course. While you're up here, make sure to grab all the BOXES, hit every SPEED BOOST, and pass through all the BOOST CIRCLES. Stick around up here until the very end of this section – there's a GOLD BOLT waiting for you!
3
Use your SPEED BOOST to get to the next ramp. Again, hit as many BOXES as you can while you're in the air, and try to pull off at least three tricks.
4
When you land, you'll see a small lip at the top of the hill. Hit that with a SPEED BOOST. This is a shortcut! Jump off to the right to get off the main course for a bit. Don't worry, just make sure you land back on the track.
5
You'll see another very small lip shortly after. Use your SPEED BOOST here too, jump, and this time go off course to the left. Again, the goal is to land back on the course.
6
Aim for the last ramp, hit it with the SPEED BOOST, and pass through the final BOOST CIRCLE to cross the finish line. Keep repeating these steps to win the race!

Winning the BRONZE CUP gets you 2500 BOLTS.
Winning the SILVER CUP gets you 5000 BOLTS.
Winning the GOLD CUP gets you 10000 BOLTS and a HOLOCARD PACK that unlocks the RYNO II.

Tips

For the SILVER CUP, you'll notice TNT barrels are now obstacles. You'll need to be a bit more careful navigating the course, but the general strategy of using boosts and tricks still applies.
The GOLD CUP is where things get really challenging. The TNT will be there, and you might find yourself restarting a few times (you'll probably QQ a bit, it happens!). But once you get the rhythm down and learn the best lines, you'll be able to conquer it. Focus on maintaining speed and executing those tricks cleanly.
Remember, the key is to chain boosts, tricks, and boost circles together. Don't be afraid to experiment with trick combos to keep your boost meter up and score points.
