Right arrow or D is throttle and left arrow or A is brake. On a phone there are two pedals at the bottom of the screen. While you are in the air those same two controls rotate the bike forward and backward, which is how you line up your landing. Press R to restart instantly.

Because the bike is not lined up with the ground you are landing on. The angle is measured against the slope, not against flat, so on a downhill you want the bike nose-down to match it. Use the air controls to rotate before you touch down — and remember that a rotation you started has to be finished, so commit early enough to complete it.

You start with a full tank and burn it as you ride: the throttle costs fuel by the metre and the engine costs it by the second. Cans on the track top you back up, but they are spaced further apart the further you go, so every run eventually ends. A bigger tank from the garage pushes that point back, and so does riding efficiently.

Landing a complete rotation makes the bike accelerate out of the landing — roughly thirteen percent faster per flip — and pays coins. Because the boost helps your distance, flipping is usually the fast line on a long jump rather than a showy detour.

Engine raises top speed and torque, grip reduces wheelspin on climbs, the tank extends how far a run can last, and suspension keeps more of your speed through a rough landing. All four are measurable on distance; the tank and the engine are the two that push a record the furthest.

Yes. Your coins, your upgrades, the maps you have unlocked and your best distance on each map are all stored on your device, so closing the tab does not reset you.
