01 / THE GUIDE
Compare Ride Styles
Run a short descent with each of the three ride styles on the same seed. Note differences in visual feedback and how each style feels when carving tight turns.

Start a run using first‑person, then repeat with third‑person and drone views. Record which perspective gives you the best sense of upcoming terrain for high‑risk tricks.
- Try each ride style to see which feels most natural for your control preferences.
- Pursue skins as milestones; each one requires skill to unlock.
