I also have no idea how to get 2600 or 2900 point tricks in the freestyle. I thought I did it a few times,but only got 800 points. I honestly didn't even know it existed. I thought the highest scoring trick was the 2300 point one.

20,418 + 15,709 =

I just can't seem to put it all together in the freestyle. Maybe tomorrow... I was able to pull off the jumps over the water a few times to improve in that event,so not a complete loss.

The 2600 and 2900 point jumps come from performing the 720's on the left side of the half pipe while pressing the A button to do a hand grab before you land. Without doing the grab the 720 is worth 2300 points on that side of the ramp... If you do the jump with the grab from far-side to near-side of the screen its 2600 points and if you do it near-side to far-side its 2900 points. My high score run for freestyle didn't include points from landing either one though because I just couldn't land them consistently while performing the other tricks needed to pull the 9000 point bonus...

Yeah I had to watch YouTube videos and look up guides to get anything right in this game. Key in the race is using goofy foot so you accelerate by pressing up. Makes the jumps much easier. Took me a few hours to finally get over the water. Once I stringed together a trick on the skull jump thing, going through the tube, then jumping over the water, I figured that was it for me. Can't do much better without going insane.

Still lost on the ramp. Did 720's on the right side and 720's over the middle on the left side. Once I did those back and forth without crashing I called it a week. Much more points for doing other tricks as well as hand grabs, but that's just too much for me.

I've been putting this game off all week and had to force myself to play today.  I played a little on Tuesday and just wasn't getting it.  After awhile today it finally started clicking for me ... not elite scores by any means but way better than I expected going in.  This game is better than I gave it credti for.  Really happy with my freestyle run and okay with the downhill race.

Someone is going to have to explain to me how to jump over the water and put up really good scores on the race.  But this is it for me this week.

Also, finally decided to set my TV to 4:3 and stop stretching the screen!
