Map Types

There are basicly two Map types

• Freestyle / Tricks: Surf the Slopes as you like. There is no predefined goal. The Main characteristica is that the slopes are in an very open space and quite easy to reach.
• Level: Like a jump and run based game these maps focus on the goal. Usualy only one way of slopes will lead to the goal. The caracteristics of such an map is (not always!) a timer to track your personal best. Also the level is more like a linear level design with death areas and high walls. Those maps are usually challangeing and hard to beat.
