A great doctor once said that “where we’re going, we don’t need roads”. Even if we can’t offer any flying cars, at least we’ve managed to produce a hovering skateboard. Together with some assorted mixtapes you’ll be well equipped to face the various skate parks that have been popping up around city parks. Go there and start learning to master tricks and in no time, you’ll ace half pipes and rails like a real pro.
If you don't want to spend credits on a hoverboard you can pick up a regular skateboard in stores for ingame cash. Just keep in mind that there's one achievement a regular skateboard can't get you.
You can find the Back to the Future package in our credit shop, along with a couple of new quest items that will aid hunters of all ages. The Amulet of Kobe, Netherworld Smelling Salts and a new strange weapon called Stormswinger.
There are so far 33 different tricks, which can be performed by using your board in a park where a skatepark is built. There are two types of boards in Popmundo: the usual Skateboard and the futurist McFly Hoverboard — a direct reference to the movie Back to the Future.
Each interaction with your board will make you pull off a random trick you don't master yet. However, depending on your Basic Skateboard mastery, your Constitution & Dexterity, you might succeed, fail or master the trick. Mastering a skateboarding trick will most likely require several attempts.
These are different diary entries you can get:
| Diary entry | Interpretation & Effect |
|---|---|
| Oh no, I tripped and fell when I tried to learn the Ollie. Better luck next time I guess. | Failed to pull-out a trick |
| Oh yeah! I finally managed to do the Ollie! | Trick pulled-out after at least one failure |
| Wow! I just pulled of the Ollie on my first attempt! | Trick pulled-out on your first try |
| Bummer, I almost mastered the Ollie. I'll nail it soon enough! | Trick already pulled-out but failed to be master afterwards |
| Yes! I finally mastered the Ollie! Practice makes perfect! | Trick mastered! |
| Yes! I mastered the Ollie! Eat my shorts! | Trick mastered on the first attempt!! |
| Great Scott! I just defied gravity by doing the 720 McFly Flip perfectly on my McFly Hoverboard! What a masterpiece! |
When your character manage to pull-out this special trick using a McFly Hoverboard. Followed by the gain of the Survived the 720 McFly Flip! achievement. |
| I amassed a pretty big crowd doing some spectacular tricks with my Skateboard. Everyone enjoys seeing a pro in action! | Using your board in a skatepark once you mastered all the tricks. |
You can try to perform a trick once every 4 hours, and as skateboarding is an activity which implies physical effort, falls and other traumatising experiences for the body, your character must be at least 5 years old to face the skateparks.
Your first use of a board will grant you the skill Basic Skateboard. The specificity of this skill is that each attempt will increase your skill level of 2~6 %. Obviously, you can also boost your knowledge the old fashion way like any other skill.
Finally, since you cannot see in game how far you are from discovering and mastering all the tricks, take a small trip to the Members Area. You'll find a page allowing you to save your progression.
You'll find below the different tricks indexed so far, ordered by alphabetic order.
