SAFETY INFORMATION

ABOUT PHOTOSENSITIVE SEIZURES

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games.

These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects.

Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms—children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures.

The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by sitting farther from the television screen, using a smaller television screen, playing in a well-lit room, and not playing when you are drowsy or fatigued.

If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Other Important Health and Safety Information The Xbox Instruction Manual contains important health and safety information that you should read and understand before using this software.

AVOID DAMAGE TO YOUR TELEVISION

Do not use with certain televisions. Some televisions, especially front- or rear-projection types, can be damaged if any video games, including Xbox games, are played on them. Static images presented during the normal course of game play may “burn in” to the screen, causing a permanent shadow of the static image to appear at all times, even when video games are not being played. Similar damage may occur from static images created when placing a video game on hold or pause. Consult your television owner’s manual to determine if video games can be played safely on your set. If you are unable to find this information in the owner’s manual, contact your television dealer or the manufacturer to determine if video games can be played safely on your set.

Unauthorized copying, reverse engineering, transmission, public performance, rental, pay for play, or circumvention of copy protection is strictly prohibited.

LAUNCH YOUR CAREER

FIRST WORD

that requires a sponsor. Beat a few high scores and play for some media coverage on a couple of levels. Then you’ll be on your way to invading Gunny’s Gulch and gaining a shop sponsorship.

From there, you’re just a sick rail transfer away from unlocking the SlopeStyle event to become a sponsored pro rider. Once you’ve accomplished this, aim for domination of the Jib-Fest.

If you can just keep your eyes on the prize, you’ll be a superstar in no time.

Ride on. –

So you want to be a pro boarder, eh? Maybe even the number one rider in the world? Well, that’s gonna take buckets of blood, sweat, and tears. The road won’t be easy, friend, but it can be done.

First off, you need exposure—and

Ed.

Bustin’ Moves

JIB ‘N’ TWEAK HOW-TO

Are the pros on the mountain fully dissin’ your weak steez? Your basic tricks just not cutting it in front of the cameras? Try some off-axis tricks like rodeos and corkscrews—just press the D-pad or move the left thumbstick in any diagonal direction. You’ll need to know a few terms and a few advanced moves to properly pummel your critics into submission. Here ya go—study up.

THE THREE Js

JIB: To ride on a non-snow surface such as rails, logs, photographers,

and so on.

JUMP: To propel oneself off the ground, a ramp, or a fellow boarder’s head

by muscular effort of the legs and feet. (To do this in Amped, hold down the A button and release. Also, move the left thumbstick or D-pad in the direction you want to flip or spin prior to jumping and you’ll rotate faster during the trick.)

GRAB: To hold the edge of the snowboard with your hand during a trick.

TWEAKS

These tweaks are for a regular stance riding normal or a goofy stance riding switch.

NOTENOTE

NOTE TWEAK ANY GRAB WITH THE TRIGGERS.

NOTENOTE

GET BOARDIN’ FAST

When you just want to get on the mountain fast, select

QUICK START

QUICK START from the Main Menu. If you want to change the boarder, choose BOARDER SELECT. After choosing your boarder, select START RUN to go to the Level Select menu.

There are two Quick Start levels available initially. (More levels can be unlocked through career mode.) Select a level and press the A button to choose a drop point and ride.

Playing Quick Start will not advance your career or get you any sponsor rewards. Your only goal is to beat the top five scores posted for the level—and rip.
