Just the combo bonus for getting all the moves in footback is worth 99k, so at that point you are looking at around 125k bare minimum.

It is going to be about executing them all efficiently, so you can switch to repeatable high-value moves for the rest of the run.

I like this game overall,but the crappy hit detection on the bmx event drives me nuts.

That's the dirtiest thing I have ever read on NA.

Agreed.

Now that I've stepped up my foot bag score, I can't lock down another 100k+ run on the BMX, so my composite score has dropped  Very frustrating.


EDIT TO ADD:   NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

I just pulled 180k on the foot bag and COMPLETELY screwed the pooch on the BMX course

36710

1640 + 27160 + 1280 + 6200 + 430

I only got a high score on foot bag. The pics afterwards are from half pipe, skating, bmx, and flying disc (sorry for them being a little blurry, but my phone could only get one quick pic in before the score goes away).

231261 points!

My thoughts on the events...

Half pipe - Build up speed, stand on hand, do it the other way, rinse, repeat.
Foot Bag - My favorite! the tricks that give you lots of points are best when you did all the tricks
Skating - Meh... I don't like the delay in the jumps! Still better that Rollerblade Racer
BMX - Got lucky there! I usually had less points than that but there's always "that" near perfect run!
Flying Disk - Got 620 several times (didn't count it in the score of course), and I believe it's pretty much impossible to get more.

Still satisfied with my run Bulbasaur suddenly wants to go to California

Also, I can't believe nobody made this joke yet. Time for me to shine I guess

For what its worth the disk throw dont even waste your time trying to dive left. Just stand at 280 mark and hit up on a perfectthrow 630 every time just make sure its a perfect throw

What I think sucks is you are penalized for trying more difficult tricks in the bmx event. You can wipe out 3 times with the easier stuff,but wipe out once trying a front or back flip...game over. Stupid.

Back flips are pretty easy if you are conservative about only using hill tops.

I would never even bother with a front flip.

I do back flips and 360's exclusively.

That's the way to go for sure. Have you ever finished the race? I never saw the end of the line, I'm wondering how long it takes to get to the finish line to see where I'm at right now.

I have finished a couple of times.  It takes a couple minutes at full speed.  I don't remember the exact time though, and there was no apparent completion bonus that I could discern.

As frustrating as the bmx event can be,seeing the dude wipe out does make me chuckle a bit. Same goes for the skating and rollerskating.

Alright, so not my best foot bag run, to date, but definitely my strongest composite score, so far:

296,268

(22408 + 164950 + 2470 + 106440 + N/A)



I felt like this was actually a really strong run on the skates, but that course is pratically worthless.

I missed a couple of shots on the foot bag that cost me a few doda/reverse combos.

I did finish the BMX course on this run and managed to stop on the target... no bonus that I could discern (past completions I'd gone flying off the end in a final trick because I didn't know how to stop)



EDIT to add:

Managed a 3500 in the skating and a 185,000 on the foot bag (would have had 190k but the bird got in the way of a Doda)... but just can't put all that together with a strong run on the BMX course

6737+15120+1960+36310+640= 60.767

<span 22px;"="">Half pipe: 15903

man talk about memories, this game really brought it back for me.  I had limited time this week i thought i was going to be able to play tonight but just too busy with kids and stuff......bummer my next door neighbor and i used to routinely jam 180k + on bmx looks like i nancied out a little.  The key to bmx is front flip.  my run of 117 k had 0 front flips i just totally wussed out every time becaue i didnt want to risk starting over. 

Good news i actually am now able to get some points on skateboard haha terrible at that.  Love this game man i will definetely be bringing this out next party i have, i am thankful for this contest as i probably havent picked this up in 15 years!

side note i attached a pic of a party i had this weekend where i set up the projector on the garage door~!  20 feel of awesome bomberman~

The man ( a.k.a. wife and kids) tried their best to keep me down this week...but I would not be denied. 


   

Good scores everyone!

303,170 (22,580 + 173,730 + 2190 + 104,040 + 630)

I finally was able to beat the BMX course and had a really nice score in footbag.  I'm really pleased to see I could break the 300K mark!  I was improving on footbag but had to quit, though all together this is a score I'm proud of!

348,677

38,223 (723 + 30,140 + 740 + 6,370 +250)

Mixed bag this week. The only version I ever played of this was the Atari version and that only had four events (Foot Bag, Half Pipe, a low tech version of BMX, and Surfing). I like being able to try this version and, needless to say, the graphical changes in this one compared to what I'm used to is better. I don't think this will be on my "to buy" list, but I'm still glad I got to play it.

Whoa participation point I am having camera uploading issues I played all events only did ok in the kick sack thing

my score was 3450 total
