Master the Aloha Ice Jam race in SSX Tricky with UrzaMTG's expert guide. Learn rail riding techniques, boost management, and emergency exits for optimal performance.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Start the race, aiming for a KO if possible. At the first jump, perform a significant trick (e.g., Misty/Rodeo) to maximize boost.
  2. 2
    In the speed bump area, move left and hit the buttons to raise the ramp. Jump early off this ramp to clear the gap into the hole. Aiming halfway up the ramp is suggested.
  3. 3
    Before the fan jump, ensure your boost is full by performing tricks.
  4. 4
    Aim to land on the arrow signs. Either rail can be taken, but the right rail is recommended for its ease of use and reduced distraction compared to the left rail, which can be camouflaged against the snow.
  5. 5
    Ride the rail, boosting only on steep inclines or when transitioning between rails. Turn your board sideways when approaching these transitions to increase the chance of landing on the catch rails.
  6. 6
    Continue until you see the glass level below. From this point to the end of the lap, there's only one rail to stay on. Successfully navigating this rail leads to the highest window, launching you above the arrow signs again.
  7. 7
    If you stay on the rail, repeat steps 3-6. If you fell off at the end of step 6, repeat steps 2-6.
  8. 8
    On the final lap, intentionally fall off the rail above the speed bump section. This will cause a crash before the finish line, allowing other racers to catch up.

Emergency Exits: If you fall off a rail before the button-commanded doors:

  1. If you missed the initial ramp jump, go through the normal doors. At the peak of your jump, a trick might be necessary to get back on track.
  2. After the first pop-up poles section, bypass the button-commanded ramp and use the ice ramps to reach the rails. These connect to the starting rails, and either can be used.
  3. If you took the button ramp, you'll enter a fork. At either end, there's a fan jump. Boost and aim for the center of the fan, jumping just before impact to reach a rail. Turn your board sideways for better landing chances.
  4. Other methods involve riding tubes from the start, jumping off fans onto rails by luck, or ramping off embankments with luck.
