Although the manual says it's two player, up to 4 can be Comlynxed. It may take a few tries, but keep at it. (It's also a bit slow, but hey, it wasn't meant for 4 players.. :)
BMX: If you stay just a little (about one pixel) above the place where the grass meets the dirt there won't be anything in your way (Like those pesky bales of hay). You can crash the game by hitting the bale of hay on the bottom of the track just before the finish line. The game will freeze and the only thing you can do it turn it off. Tiny tid-bit: If you're going _really_ fast when you cross the finish line and jump just a little after crossing it, you will end up crashing into something you can't see way to the right.
SURFING: In the surfing game, you can ride the pelican. Run your last man into the bottom of the screen a few seconds before the timer runs out. The bird will fly across the screen until the timer runs out and you'll land on it! It's possible to do an UNREAL 360 (5 360's) for 1200 points (As opposed to 600 for a Quadruple 360)
FOOTBAG: If you spin right after jumping, you spin faster than normal. Thus, jump and hit the bag with your head, then spin away... Also-- in the manual under Foot Bag it says: "Score an extra 50 points for hitting the seagull in the beak with the foot bag (but only in this game -- be kind to the birdies in the other events)." [ Thought that was pretty cute. :) d.g. ]
HALF-PIPE: Hitting Option 2 while skating will show off the Lynx's awesome scaling capabilities.

: First off, how do you do anything in halfpipe. My friend an I have : spent quite a long time trying to accomplish anything with that and so : far we've only managed to turn around. I think our high score is like : 170 or something pathetic like that. We've both seen people do some : pretty cool things with halfpipe too, so it's really dissapointing. : Any help is appreciated.The key to the halfpipe is momentum. When your going down the pipe, press down on the pad. When you go up on the pipe, press up. When your about to stop (no more speed going up) turn sideways and hit the 'A' button. Immediately after changing directions (now going down) hit down on the pad. After building enough momentum and going higher than the sides of the halfpipe, you can press 'B' at the top and grap the handrail. It looks pretty cool when you do it, but I always seem to get more points by getting tons of air by just going up and down. Any more tricks that I don't know about?????
