How to Get Better at Descenders
HintsLearn the Construction Park Back to Front
The construction park is the easiest to access, making it a great starting point for learning the game. The first trail bit covers all the skills you need. Make sure you play through this trail bit a few times and try a few tricks to get better at the game.
To unlock this park, go to the Highlands and either go to the top or bottom nodes, where a star should be present. Then, keep trying until you find it.
Practice Your Skills
To improve, practice all the skills available in the construction park. For instance, the first skill requires the player to climb up the big cylinder pipe by jumping and pushing the stick forward to apply pressure on the rider's front wheel. Practicing these skills will go a long way in making a player better at the game.
Trick Selection is Crucial
Choosing the right tricks is crucial to staying alive. Avoid tricks like the 360 run flip or the 360 front flip, as they take a while to execute and can quickly kill the player. Many new players tend to focus on performing tricks and end up dying because they overdo it on ramps that don't have the necessary height or launch. It's essential to focus on survival, getting to the finish, and gaining more rep and items.
Wheelies, To Do or Not to Do.
Wheeling is not recommended, especially during a career session. While it may help string together lines and maintain a multiplier, it's not a significant bonus, and overdoing it can easily lead to death. In addition, many players get too comfortable with wheeling on flat terrain and end up bailing when attempting it on steep or uneven terrain. Therefore, it's best to avoid it unless necessary and focus on finishing the game.
Landing Backwards
If the player lands backwards after doing a 180, they can avoid bailing by holding down the brake and slowing down. The slower the player goes, the more control the rider has, and the player can easily turn around without falling over. Unfortunately, many players kill themselves by trying to do a backflip or landing incorrectly, but simply slowing down can prevent this from happening.
