This thread has been linked to the game 'SSX 3'.
I've only recently started playing this after getting it for Chistmas (exams and no memory card space) and it's damn good. But why have they taken out certain elements? There used to be a trick book to run through, and there used to be different types of board you could get. Alpine for speed, freestyle for tricks, or the combination for a bit of both. Now you can't even buy new boards, only new graphics for the same board.
And I know this game will give me arthritis in later life.

I get muddled up with the direction you have to do the spin though!
I know how to do a stoneage!
I have managed to do it, but I can't do it anymore!
Either way works, to get more points though it is best to do while doing the spins.

I know I am getting a bit stupid, but to do a stoneage, do you do the madonna after you have done the spins, or should you do the madonne while you are doing the spins?

My god! I must ahve said that so many times. lol
Cheers for that - I couldn't get it to work every time and now I know why. I didn't realise you had to spin a certain way.

Two Back Flips with 180-degree Backside Spin with Madonna Uber
Direction of Spin: Backside
180's: 1 (1/2 time around)
Flips: Two
Uber Trick: Madonna
Difficulty: 4 out of 10
Button to push: Down, then Down/Right or Down/Left then UBER BUTTON:
(PS2: L1+L2) (X-BOX: Right Trigger + X) (GC: L + Z) + Tweak
This Uber is probably the single fastest, highest scoring Uber in the game
because it is so easy to do and quick to land. This and the X-Ecutioner are
the two primary Monster Tricks that people use for getting high scores
because they are simple to do, are fast and have big bonuses. Learning this
one will raise your scores significantly.
There are two ways to do this Monster Trick, the first is to do the
two Back Flips, THEN do the Backside 180. This is the easier way, but
it's also the MUCH slower way. To do this Monster Trick much faster, simply
push in the downward backside CORNER of the control pad and you will do
the final flip and 180 at the SAME TIME, allowing you to do it much faster.
(For example, if you have to spin to the left for a Backside spin, after
the first Back Flip, push Down/Left for a split second and let go. The
game will do the final spin/flip at the same time and the trick correction
feature will finish the trick quicker for you.

Three Back Flips with 180-degrees of Frontside spin with SSXorcist uber
Direction of Spin: Frontside
180's: 1 (1/2 rotation)
Flips: Three
Uber Trick: SSXorcist
Difficulty: 5 out of 10
Button to push: Down, then Left or Right, then UBER BUTTON:
(PS2: L2) (X-BOX: Y) (GC: L)
This is probably the single best Monster Trick in the entire game, next to
Stoneage, because it is very simple to do and yet still has an excellent
bonus that makes it very worthwhile.
To do this trick, simply prewind down and start doing Back Flips, then as soon
as you start backflipping, do your SSXorcist Uber. Once you reach your second
Back Flip, you can do one of two things to finish it off. If you have a hard
time doing it, simply do your third flip, then tap whatever direction is
needed for a frontside 180, and let the Uber trick go. However, if you are
in a hurry, the fastest way to do this Monster Trick is to do two flips,
then tap DOWN in the corner of the frontside spin for a split second, then
let go. The trick correction feature in the game will finish the trick for
you and do the last flip and 180 AT THE SAME TIME, allowing you to finish
the trick much faster.
For example, I do my first two flips (while doing my SSXorcist Uber, you
should always assume you start the Uber trick as soon as possible and hold
it for as long as you can until the trick is done to run up its score.)
Then, once I finish my second flip, I will tap Down/Right to do a FS spin
(the direction my character would need THIS imaginary jump, it could just
as easily be down/left) and hold down/right for a split second, then let
go. The game will finish the trick for me with the trick correction
feature much faster than if I had held the direction.
If you want to set records, you should master this Uber because its
30,000 point bonus and ability to do quickly makes it one of best
in the entire game.

Stoneage is first one and x-ecutione ris second one.
Hope that helps someone.

Yeah second times onwards, did you find it half-ed or more on the scond time +?
If so, that's why you need to put a 180 in.
Tip: tap down and you spin faster.

I was just practicing it in a super pipe to try and get it right, I wasn't doing it anywhere that mattered. Do you always have to do a 180 after it for full points? No, it's probably just the second time onwards, isn't it...
