Basic Controls

To begin with, there's of course accelerating, breaking and turning around, as well as volting. Volting means pressing either left or right to make the bike rotate to change how it lands or to counter already existing rotation. If you get enough height from a jump you can even make one or more complete 360 degree spins.

Simple Tricks

Hanging
Stretching
Piping

If you press both volting keys at the same time or a special key, you get an extra powerful volt called alovolt.

You don't always drive with both wheels on the ground. you can hang, which means driving upside down on a thin polygon with one or both wheels.

Thanks to the very elastic suspension, it's possible to stretch the bike a lot when you have a lot of speed and hits something that stops one or both wheels.

You can also bounce, not only by falling from a height, but also on purpose on almost any surface in the level. A bounce made on relativly flat ground without help from a jump is called a brutal volt].

Sometimes a passage in too low too allow you to go through it normally without banging your head. This is called a pipe. To get through a pipe you need to drive through it sideways, while repeatedly pressing the turn key to keep your head from hitting the floor or ceiling.
