Galaxy Drift (GD)

A galaxy drift is a technique for speed drifting down an upside-down quarterpipe. In some cases, you can also SD upwards in a quarterpipe (eg. in a turnover). It is usually done by first losing grip and then steer hard to initiate an SD down the quarterpipe. It only works at 800+ in tubes, pancakes, turnovers and other features that allow such conditions. The technique was named after Mariogalaxy who discovered it.

Hunter Wall

A hunter wall is a wall to banked transition, also refered to as a feature. It is commonly used in many advanced tracks to create more interesting features. Hunter walls are named after the player and mapper “Hunter”, who popularized these transitions.

Memebounce

Memebounce is a trick where you force your car to land with your back wheels on a bump in the road. This gives a nose-dive rotation in a way that you keep your wheels on the ground the entire time. It is used to lower air time.

Midroad Bug

A midroad bug refers to a bug in which it looks like your car clipped something in the middle of the road, resulting in your car getting a “bump” of some sort and can even push you completely out of the track.

Nose-dive

A nosedive is a state in which the front of your car starts pointing downwards. In some cases it can be forced in order to get lower air time.

Reverse Turnover

A reverse turnover explains itself really, you enter a normal turnover in reverse. This is typically done by having magnets at the top to avoid losing grip.

Ride Trick

The ride trick is a technique where you do a left-right or right-left steering motion right before a jump in order to tilt your car, and sometimes also get a slight nose-dive. Used to reduce air time.

Pancake

A pancake is a feature that may remind you of a cake, but has a flat top part instead of it being rounded. It also looks like an angled turnover. The pancake requires free-blocking other half and can be rotated by different amounts. A magnet at the top is used to strengthen the grip of the car to make the feature smoother.

SD (Speed Drift)

Stands for Speed Drift and is a technique to accelerate faster than you normally could. It is recognized by overlapping the front and back skid marks from the wheels during a drift. Works at 420+ speed on tarmac, and 220+ speed on the other surfaces.

Speed Limit

Speed limit usually refers to the state where your car is limited to 800 speed due to acceleration decreasing drastically at 800+. This can happen due to grass patches or being close to 800 as you enter a feature.

S4D

A technique to start a speed drift by tapping the break very quickly. It was invented by a member of the team R4B and named it after that team.

Walltube

A walltube is a feature where you enter a tube by going up wallride. Some people also refer to these features as upwalls or corkscrews. The reverse would be a tubewall or downwall.

1-wheel SD

A 1-wheel SD is an SD, but you do it while only having 1 wheel touching the ground.
