Since this game is pretty much permadeath, you need to make sure you don't crash. Always think about that when doing other maneuvers. Calculate the risks.

That being said, don't think that your opponents need to follow the same rule. They can crash freely as they will reappear on the track, so don't look at them for clues on how to drive.

Use both pedals alternatively to balance out your vehicle. You can't simply hold the gas and win the race.

When falling down from a height, try to level out the car so that you fall exactly on your wheels.

Upgrading the first jeep you get is pretty much useless. Save up on the money and, very soon, you'll be able to buy a better vehicle. You'll want to work towards getting the super jeep.

Participating in and winning races will get you more coins than flips and random tricks in the air, so don't fool around, just try to get to the finish line as fast as you can.
