Rules
Nokia Virtually Board Snowboarding features three disciplines. As
usual, the objective is to get as many points as possible. Points
are awarded based on a combination of speed, tricks, and successful
execution and differ from discipline to discipline.
Trick Race
Speed down the slope in a timed contest and grab extra points by
getting tricky on your board. Choose the course you like best--alpine,
forest, or resort--and choose a level from blue to black.
Halfpipe
Control the speed and angle of your jumps as you cruise down a perfectly
groomed pipe. Of course the biggest challenge is not getting up
into the air, but landing on your feet...
Big Air
Push off a virtual ramp that has been carefully constructed to give
maximum height. Perform an amazing combination of tricks before
you hit the ground and you'll be richly rewarded with points.
Tricks
The basic game includes five tricks that you can perform with easy
key combinations: Indy Nosegrab Tailgrab
Mellan c Mute Each successfully
executed trick is rewarded by a standard number of points. Earn
bonus points by combining your tricks with backward and forward
spins and flips.
