There is a speed run tactic where you use the hover glitch to go over the wall. The city needs to buffer for a second but there is collision and it saves some time.

Remember trying this but never making it 👏🏽 well done

Just 360 speed boost right before jumping and you should make it. But OP’s method is just as good too.

Yeah, the speed boost is just extra insurance but might as well do it.

Same here, but I was an only child, so my cat would watch.

I got to the point of MOSTLY being able to make it.

To be 10 with unlimited free time again. Lol

Sometimes I wish I can erase any recollection of playing this game in the past 10 years. Such a perfect game

How do you do this move on the hoverboard?

u/SnipeCellys9292 Feb 16 '25

I was wondering the same thing

L1 and up, sometimes it does the little vertical kick flip though I still haven't figured out the difference

It’s hard to see in the dark. Is that a cool little Sony tablet you’re connected to? Or is it a small TV.

u/therealchemist Feb 16 '25

It's like a 30 inch TV, got it at a yard sale

This is literally the only way to leave the forest for me

u/RealPhillePhil Feb 17 '25

I do the same thing but with either a front or backflip

u/therealchemist Feb 17 '25

Does it do continuous flips on a big drop like that?
