YES! How much?
My average was usually about 10mil, but then on that run I got lucky and managed to get some good combos.
Then just before the end of the finish line there is a section that you can use almost as a half pipe, so I had full tricky and managed to string a load of tricks together at the end to get another 2-3mil.
Even that score is nothing though compared to some of the videos online
I've pre-ordered mine from purpleplace for Xbox 360. Seem to remember seeing something about that Limited Edition version coming with Eddie, but that seems to have been taken off the website now

How do you even average 10m? I got 7.5m on what I thought was a pretty spectacular run, lol.
Any tips? Im jumping whever I can, mixing up tricks, and nose/tail pressing between jumps if theres a longer gap. The problem I seem to have is my Tricky running out randomly?
Anyone pre-ordered 360 version on-line from the purple store ? I'm a bit concerned the purple store are in some trouble and are not stocking any new EA games

SSX is the last one they are stocking, it should be fine (I've been told my someone who works at the head office)

£38.86 from Shopto, got shipped about 20 minutes ago. First class
Just done the same (PS3). Never ordered from there before, shipped in 5 minutes as per the site
They must have the games ready packed and slap the address label on to ship them that quickly!
Got 4% Quidco too, can't complain!

Just got a shipment email so hopefully you'll get one soon

I thought there was no quidco on preorders from Shopto?
My PS3 version has shipped from the big Purple Logo place
Had to get it from there cos there was no way I was missing a COMPLETE CHARACTER from the Game if I ordered elsewhere. How cr@p is that?
I mean, who doesn't wanna play with Affro Eddie right?

Counts as a normal order from what i can see, has a 'buy' button rather than a preorder one like Mass Effect. Quidco says the payment of £1.30 is being tracked.

Well it doesn't matter too much, he's hardly a core character to the series and there's plenty of characters in the game.

Yeah just noticed mine. Bloody good service
Plus there is a chance it could be here tomorrow!
Maybe not core to many folks but a lot of fun with some great uber moves no? Definitely one of the more charismatic characters to play with.
Plus the extra drop points on the mountain of course. Worth an extra £1.13 to me any day.

Yep, I have and I got my shipped email earlier today so you should hopefully get yours soon as well.
Mixing up the tricks helps a lot I think - I can't say for certain but I think duplicate tricks hurts your Tricky/score/combos quite badly. So I always try and cycle through my tricks almost methodically, haha! ("Right, I've done Left Trigger + X, now Right Trigger + X, then Right + Left Trigger + X" etc.. until I've done all possible combinations I can think of, then start again)
The only other thing I can suggest is don't just go down the mountain and rely on just the actual jumps - once you have a bit of boost it's quite easy to use all different parts of the terrain to get some air and pull off some tricks. If you've found a bit of terrain that you can trick off of try and milk it for as long as possible.
That's all I can think of really.. Maybe watch some vids on youtube to see how other people do it as well?
I got it from there also (it said about exclusive drop points on Mt. Fuji as well), but it no longer mentions that stuff in the product description so not sure what the deal is?My PS3 version has shipped from the big Purple Logo place

Huzzah!
Well the multiplayer component will be a lot more interesting if you have friend's ghosts to go up against
Hopefully a few will get it on here because I only have one PS3 friend at the moment
I can see myself quite enjoying racing/tricking against a ghost, so if I do stump up for it I might mooch a friend or two on here for that.

That post explains how it works with the video, it's a bit more than just the ghost thing
