Contests - if you want to do good in the contests, follow this simple
formula -

1- do 4 snapturns to get your special up.
2- do at least EIGHT special air tricks. even if it's the same one but
try not to.
3- do floaters, snaps, gouges, special face tricks, and any other face
trick you can think of until there is 45 seconds left in the last
minute.
4- with 45 seconds left, get short 20-30 second barrel ride doing at
least 25-30 tricks. this should score anywhere from 50-70 thousand
points.
5- with about 15 seconds left in the heat accelerate out of the barrel
and max out the face tricks again.
