Courses
Race courses- Monumental Motoplex in Monument Valley, Utah-A course that twists and turns though the rock structures. The jumps are very smooth and one of the last jumps has burst though a ring with a glass panel in it with the Freekstyle logo on it.
- The Crust Belt-Based in an abandoned coal mining/welding factory, oddly still running, features jumping over belts full of coal, and speeding through a run down warehouse. There are also two secret jumps, one where you jump over buckets filled with molten steel, and the other in which you have to smash through wooden crates to get on the route to a massive jump.
- Burn It Up-Race your way in this "Nature Gone Ari" track, Full of burning/collapsing trees and rocks shooting down an uphill section of the track. The very first jump is the biggest in the course. There are two secret jumps, one you go off course and follow a gray line that leads you to a rock jump. The other needs full boost to get up on the top of the multiple 'S' shaped turns below.
- Gnome Sweet Gnome-This course is inside a bush sculpting garden, featuring jumps over multiple sculptures, and a section where you knock over little gnomes.
- Let It Ride-Based in possibly Las Vegas, Nevada, is one of the more colorful and ambient tracks in the game. There is a secret route where, when a jump pops up from the ground, you will land on a red and blue platform which takes you to the next pop up jump, (non-secret).
- The Rocket Garden-The hardest track in the game, is in a rocket launching base, has more secret jumps than any of the other tracks. First, if you hear an alarm go off in the first section of the track, go to the middle launching pad, There will be a jump and you soar past a rocket taking off. Next, on the very next jump, if you jump the middle ramp, you will land on a platform which leads you to the inside of the facility.
