Getting a feel for the controls can take some time in this delicate game, especially at the beginning of levels where the vehicles have varying specifications. Due to the fact that every exposed body part can be a target, it is important to also gain an understanding of each rider's hitbox. Time is of the essence when approaching obstacles and challenging jumps because most vehicles have a slow start-up.
