We're creeping closer to the holidays, folks!

Ugh, already? Another year that's just flown by.

8507

Definitely. It's insane how much time flies.

8506.

Quicksand Valley is still as hard as I remember it being.

8505...

Quicksand Valley has been and always will be a challenge, you should consider yourself one of the most fortunate if you get good at it.

When I was a kid I remember it taking me MONTHS to beat Quicksand Valley. Best way to go is use Linda with a level 3 freestyle (or... if you wanna "cheat", use Tommy with the Star Board) that way you can take the shortcut, which is pretty much essential if you want to win.

I think that's what set SBK1 apart from SBK2, it actually had hard tracks. Granted Ninja Land wasn't exactly hard, it was just Sinobin that was hard to deal with. But the things to remember is that Sinobin NEVER goes through Red Shops, and to fire off a shot to get him use his invisibility item, then shoot another one to slow him down.

Yeah there is still no way I can survive Quicksand Valley without a freestyle board. I never found Shinobin too difficult for some reason but the AI in Night Highway, Dizzy Land and Quicksand Valley were complete ballbreakers.

Now that you mentioned it the stages in SBK2 aren't too hard in comparison to SBK1/+. The bosses that accompany them on the other hand

Oh man, I nostalgia'd so hard looking at this. I remember way back when, after a few months of getting the game, I wanted to find out about the other special tricks (the manual only listed one trick for each character) so I came across this website which had all of them, and I was so excited!

There's a few tricks on that list that aren't shown on any list, really. I know for Slash and myself, we each have another trick. I do not recall what I called my own trick, so I just refer to it as the "Super Whirligig" as it looks like a fast version of the original Whirligig.

Linda's Super Whirligig: Hold A, then press Left-Right-Up-Down-Left-Right-Up-Down and hold, then release A. (350G)

Slash's Kamei Rocket: Hold A, then press Left-Up-Right and hold, then release A. (350G)

Ok this is something I gotta see the next time I plug in the ol' 64. Though I thought the trick dubbed the 'Kamei Rocket' had another input.

It might, but that's the input I use when I play the game and it works. If there's another input, then it's one I'm not aware of.

Any irl snowboarding experiences? I ended up doing that around 3 years ago mostly in part because of this game.

8497...

Only tried it once, never did get the hang of it. Now that I'm in Texas, it's a lot harder to find a place to practice.

- Linda

8496

No, but I wanted to try it out after playing SBK2 back when I was a kid, but my parents never wanted me to, saying it was too dangerous.

Then I sneaked this memory in my OC's backstory.

8495

I joined this site 5 years ago, and I don't even feel like it's been that long. I feel old!

8494...

That tends to happen with little activity, unfortunately.

Five years for me too. I think this is the first forum I have ever signed up for as well.

Forums have gotten a negative reputation since people started using them for stating tons of factual information and getting their ego stroked by people seeing them as a know-it-all.

I could see that happening. Open ended discussion is an awesome thing, no?

It is, and it's good that mentality is still present here at Snowboard Kids World!

Finally someone kicked the rock out from under that rolling ball!

If it picks up again, it just might!
