Jump Over Cars

To jump over a slower moving car or one coming at you, pull a wheelie right before you hit it. If you do it right you should still be pulling a wheelie when you hit the car you are jumping over and will not crash.

Wheelie And Turbo Boost

To pop a wheelie and gain some acceleration, double-tap the gas while driving. NOTE : If you're playing in Manual mode, you can also do this by switching from fourth gear to neutral and back.

Ride On 2 Wheels

To race on 2 wheels, double-tap the gas while turning a corner.

Back Flip

When you are going up a hill, do a wheelie at the top.

Side Flip

Do a wheelie while turning, then press in the opposite direction of your turn to flip on your side.

Honk Your Horn

While racing, press Start to honk your horn. The Humvee will fire it's machine gun if you do this.
