Description
This game is kind of similar to Road Rash series except you're on rollerblades instead of motorcycles. The objective is to complete a series of illegal races by hanging from the back of moving cars, and gaining enough speed to finish first. The game is full and jumps where you can perform stunts, and like the Road Rash series, full of fighting and weapons.

Once you've started racing, hold down "B" to start rollorblading. Check your rear view at the bottom of the screen to see when cars are coming behind you then when one is nearby press "A" + the control pad left or right to attempt to grab on the back of one. Be careful not to stand directly in front of the car or you will get hit. Once you're hanging from a car the best thing to do is stay on it until the car is directly behind at least one other car, then fling yourself up to cars further up by holding down "B" and moving off the car. Press "C" to attack either with your fist or with a weapon. To Pick up weapons off the ground duck down and press "A", or you can steal them from others when they're trying to wack you with them.

When approaching a jump, it's usually a good idea to use it because it will let you gain more speed and it looks cool. When you are in the air press different gamepad buttons with different control pad directions to do different stunts. The best way to learn your favorite stunts is by trial and error. Be sure to give yourself enough time to land or your your stunt will prove to be unworthwhile.
