CONTROLLING THE BALL Helpful Hints 1. Before putting on the headset, be sure to remove hats, ponytails, hairclips or anything else that might get in the way, and brush the hair from your forehead. 2. Before attaching the ear clip, remove earrings. Once in Freestyle mode, try each of the practice exercises below to familiarize yourself with controlling the ball. Place a ball on top of the puck, but do not put any obstacles on the console yet.
Exercise #2: Lower the ball. Try to hold the ball in place for three seconds. Exercise #3: Raise and lower the ball several times in a row. Plug the flex tower into its white base then attach it to the console. Make sure the flat section of the base faces the track. MOVING FORWARD OR BACKWARD (TOGGLE BUTTON) To move the ball – and the puck – forward or backward along the console, press either end of the TOGGLE button. Exercise #4: Concentrate until the ball is floating as high as you can get it.
Plug the pegs on each stand into the console. BASKET Line up the tabs in the basket with the slots in the basket’s base then plug them together. Snap one U-hoop into the slots on both the blue end and the white end of the basket. Attach the basket to the console so the upper opening points toward Player One’s side of the console. The shelves can be rotated to create different obstacles to overcome. You must travel over or under the shelves – the ball will not pass through the semicircles.
CANNON SCORE WALL Line up the notches in the two halves of the barrel and plug them together. Next, plug the completed barrel into the cannon base. Attach the assembled cannon to the console. Make sure the two white bases are attached to the score wall then plug them into the console. The flat side of each base must be facing the track, and the numbers on the score wall should be facing Player One’s side. For best performance, position the score wall as straight (up and down) as possible.
WIND WHEEL Plug both pegs of the wind wheel into the console so the numbers on the wheel face Player One’s side. Air from the fan will cause the wheel to spin in a clockwise direction. To pass this obstacle, move the ball next to the wheel. When it starts to spin, carefully move the ball forward through one of the openings. The smaller the opening, the greater the challenge. The higher your concentration, the more the fan will spin.
