* Jump over Cars : To jump over a slower moving car or one coming at you, pull a wheelie right before you hit it. If you do it right you should still be pulling a wheelie when you hit the car you are jumping over and will not crash.
* Wheelie and Turbo Boost : To pop a wheelie and gain some acceleration, double-tap the gas while driving. NOTE : If you're playing in Manual mode, you can also do this by switching from fourth gear to neutral and back.
* Ride on 2 Wheels : To race on 2 wheels, double-tap the gas while turning a corner.
* Back Flip : When you are going up a hill, do a wheelie at the top.
* Side Flip : Do a wheelie while turning, then press in the opposite direction of your turn to flip on your side.
* Honk your Horn : While racing, press Start to honk your horn. The Humvee will fire it's machine gun if you do this.
* Short Cut in Hawaii : Before the tunnel you'll see construction cones. Go through them on the forest side and it'll take you up a 2-track and off a cliff.
* Shortcut in China : When racing in China, you will find a breaks in the sides of the wall. Hit the gas and cut your wheel. It will take you through the break in the wall and across a country road before rejoining the game ahead of your compitition.
