Learning how to perform Ski and Snowboard tricks in Riders Republic won’t only make you look cool, but it will also help you earn more Stars and score more points, too. Skis and Snowboards have mostly the same tricks and are mechanically very similar. If you haven’t already, make sure to check out ‘Riders Republic: All Bike Tricks List‘ to hone up on your biking skills, too. It’s just as important, especially since Mass Races will switch between sports.
In this guide, we’ve listed all Ski and Snowboard tricks in Riders Republic, as well as how and when to use them.
Ski and Snowboard Rotation Tricks in Riders Republic
Trickster Mode will use the right stick for all rotation tricks in Riders Republic, while Racer Mode will use buttons.
Spins
Spins are the safest tricks to pull off and are best used on small jumps.
R/FS Spin: X > B /▢ > O / Left > Right
L/BS Spin: B > X / O > ▢ / Right > Left
Flips
Flips are harder to land than spins, but are still quite simple. Save these for slightly bigger jumps, like ramps.
Frontflip: A > Y / X > △ / Down > Up
Backflip: Y > A / △ > X / Up > Down
Misty and Rodeo
Only attempt Misty and Rodeo on big jumps, as they can only be landed every 1.5 rotations. Bio & Cork need a 1080° rotation to land perfectly, but can be landed with a 720°
L/FS Misty: A > X / X > ▢ / Down > Left
R/BS Misty: A > B / X > O / Down > Right
L/FS Rodeo: Y > X / △ > ▢ / Up > Left
R/BS Rodeo: Y > B / △ > O / Up > Rigtht
R/FS Bio/Cork: X > A / ▢ > X / Left > Down
L/BS Bio/Cork: B > A / O > X / Right > Down
L/FS Cork: B > Y / O > △ / Right > Up
