Thanks to Bbforky for routing much of this run.
Misc Tips: -Game Cube has faster loading times than PS2 -there is an autosave feature so playing without memory card is best -in "Options" menu, you'll want to turn off "Action Camera" -in "Trick Setup" change all Sick Freestyle slots to "China Air", this will really help with the high score objectives, alternately, you can change all your Sick Air moves to "Backflip Tailwhip", however be careful, "Disco Inferno" is learned and overwritten on one of the slots and will mess you up -pressing start skips cutscenes -if at the top of the menu and you press up, you go to the bottom of the menu and vice versa -boss camera helps (Z + B )
Race Tips: -MANUALS MAINTAIN YOUR SPEED -you want to manual down slopes to build up your speed -if you go into a manual just after landing, you will maintain your speed but will have refreshed your balance bar, this helps a lot -grinding for the most part in faster than riding -if you aren't in manual, you should be boosting
