		joystick left and right. If you stay on long enough you

		places. Land in the middle of the trampoline for higher

		up just before you land.

		trampoline, push the joystick handle right, and press the
		fire button. These moves should somersault you onto the
		waiting motorcycle.

Inner City Interlude

	After each event, you've got to dash across town on your motorcycle
to get to the next event. Look for the flashing red light and make a

They are worth valuable bonus points.

be whisked off to the next event.
