Tricks
Monster Tricks are the equivalent of Uber Tricks from the previous Games. Even though Monster Tricks in SSX 3 were a specific combination of spins, flip and Ubers, EA actually dumped the whole Monster Trick dynamic from the game and simply renamed Uber Tricks to Monster Tricks. Monster Tricks use the right analog stick, and they are essentially unchanged from SSX 3.
Note that you score higher on a jump if you do as many Monster Tricks in one jump as you can, instead of holding one single Monster Trick.
There are two different types of Monster Tricks - Level 1 and Level 2. In order to get the most points per jump in SSX On Tour, it is best to do the most amount of MT's per jump that you can. The point total is higher if you do more tricks rather than hold a single one. In order to cycle through Monster Tricks the fastest way possible, you should return the Trick Stick to neutral after every Monster Trick you do.
Level 1 Monster Tricks
LEVEL ONE MONSTER tricks are uber tricks where your character only pulls ONE leg off the board. When you do a level 1 Monster Trick, the screen will slow down and the camera angle will change, but unlike the Level 2 Monster Tricks, the screen will not darken. You are given all level one Monster Tricks from the start of the game.

Level 2 Monster Tricks
LEVEL TWO MONSTER tricks have to be bought before you can use them.
They are available in the Gear Shop on the Map Screen. Once you have bought a Level Two Monster, they are done by pushing and holding the first direction and push ROLLING the trick stick to the second direction. So, if you want to do the String Cheese, you must push and hold UP on the Trick Stick, then ROLL the stick to the left and then your character will do the Monster Trick.
