    I think that in the shop, you should add a category called 'Skills' were you can buy and learn tricks. For example, you could buy a trick (tail whip, superman, tabletop, barspin, ect.) and while your racing, you could press some button on you keyboard (I think it should be the numbers on the keyboard 1-5) and do the skill.
    Please let me know what you guys think of this idea.I really want this to happen and I think the developers of freeriderhd could make it happen. I do realize that we a still at an early version of the game, but think about how much better we could make it.
    Thanks for letting me be part of the freeriderhd community and I hope that I can make a difference.

    From,

    Could be pretty cool. Especially if others could view the trick that you did when you watch the ghost. I don't think it'll happen though.

    I like this idea it also fits in with previous free rider versions Char Eric

    Thanks for the support :D
    If this was used from a previous version, I believe Char could reuse some of his coding but make more animations and improve of stuff. I don't wanna over-do it though, just wanna add a little more to the game :)((((((maybe if you do these certain trick while racing it could do something like add +1 or +2 points (not coins) to your game. You could add more or less point depend on how many coins the trick costs in the shop <---[But I am not sure about this because people could exploit the game which is exactly what we are trying NOT to do] ))))))

    Not really...new features doesn't mean it isn't complete, otherwise World Of Warcraft would still be a work in progress after being released a decade ago.

    On topic, I don't think this idea would work because this is a 2D game and these tricks just wouldn't look right from the angle provided.

    Good point about it being a 2d game, however I have seen 2D game try to do 3D things and if you put in engough effort, I think you could make it work


    Here is my first attempt of making him do a trick:
    https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1VOWQrdct_-OyBspiveVOCrUcIBn5PcqWrKHmqcutRIE/edit?usp=sharing (I know its crappy :p but I am just trying to show that when the frames are moving quickly, It could work well even with a simple animation)

    Char Eric You should be able to earn coins for landing cool stunts!!

    this would just mean people would play easy stunt tracks over and over to earn lots of coins but instead there could be an achievement for landing, say a switchkick worth 5000 points.

    This is why I wasn't quite sure about the point parts.
    The idea is that you can add style and try to get more people playing the game and motivate people. I would like to have it add points, but people exploit, so that is not good. I really like the achievement idea so people could only do something once a day, like "Land 5 tricks and earn 30 coins"
