Phase 1: Building Initial Combos

Strategies for building initial combos in X Games Freestyle events in Riders Republic, focusing on big air and perfect landings.

The start of an X Games freestyle event is about establishing a strong combo and score.

• Strategy:
  • Big Air First: Hit the largest jumps first to get maximum airtime for complex tricks.
  • Link Tricks: Combine grabs, flips, and spins in a single jump. The more variety, the higher the score.
  • Perfect Landings: Crucial for maintaining your combo multiplier. Aim for the green landing indicator every time.
  • Use Rails/Grinds: Integrate grinds and slides on rails to extend your combo and add points.
• Weakness: Crashing on early jumps or failing to land cleanly will reset your combo and severely impact your score.
• Reward: A high initial score sets the pace for the rest of the event.
