Don’t worry if you fail a Challenge the first time because you can repeat them ‘till you get it right. hIGH SCORE On the road to snowboarding fame, your first challenge is getting attention. Word of mouth is your best friend for hooking media and potential sponsors; fellow boarders, people on chairlifts, you gotta blow ‘em away.
Style in Amped 2 is a way to get lots of points for controlled, smooth tricks. A big air with a single 360, a single flip, or a long railslide where you have controlled rotation are all moves that could have buckets of style. Style isn’t about the craziest trick, but about who can make it look the best.
CREDITS Program Management TIPS Chris Olson – Lead Tony Chiodo Thorsten Moeckel Isao Murayama Business Development Brenner Adams Hold onto grabs as long as possible. The longer the grab, the more it’s worth. Design Tricks will be worth less if they’re repeated on the same run. Mix it up to keep the scores coming.
