Keeping your balance and adjusting the pitch of your bike while in the air is a key to Madness success. There are two ways to do this: you can either move your rider fore and aft, or you can work the gas and brakes to spin or stop that rear tire. Get comfortable with both and you'll find yourself crashing less and riding more.

As great as your bike and rider look up close, you'll want to pull the camera back quite a bit for a good look at the nearby surroundings and to ensure your entire bike is onscreen at all times.

There's more than one way through virtually every course, and sometimes it's not very obvious. Outdoors, you should explore through the foliage and memorize the results. Indoors, you can often set up your bike and modify your line to take an entire section of bumpy roadway in a single jump.
