Welcome to the RACE course!
Here, you attempt to beat the clock through a radical race course (for 80's NES standards, that is) loaded with obstacles.  And, as any good skater knows, the more you trick off these obstacles, the more you score.  Jump, duck, hop, and fly your way to get the best time possible!
You can knock down flags if you like, but they won't get you points.  However, hopping over rocks will.
Jumping off the ramp could be good for some points, but is it REALLY worth it when a skull is sitting there laughing at you??

HELL YEAH!!!
If you were Airborne, you'd know this drill -- over and under.  Don't mix 'em up!
You know how people tell you to stay off the grass?  Well .... me, neither.  But, it will slow you down a little.
If you can hold a duck, you can slide through the pipe for some big points ...
... or you can hope a few rock piles and take your chances ...
... with a simple gutter.  Just hope over the rocks while letting the board slide under, then take a chance at hopping the pallette for big points.
If you're REALLY feeling rowdy, you can glide on through the club patio and flip off all those richeys that think you're just such low-rent entertainment! Why ELSE would we put a ramp there??
Watch out for the pond ... or ... use it to your advantage ...
... but you DO have one or two more chances to score if you're too chicken!
heh heh heh
Maybe a hop across the rocks will score you some bonus points
Now, for the BIG FINISH!!
Hey ... where're all the GIRLS???
