Description
On the mountains of Steep, players who pull off insane tricks are rewarded with big scores. If you have the aerial skills and a smooth technique, then the Freestyler Playstyle is for you. Here are a few tips to hone your talents and own the mountain.

As a Freestyler, you strive to perform the coolest Tricks with style. Earn reputation by going big, being creative, and crushing freestyle challenges. Unlock new competitions and exotic gear as you progress towards becoming the ultimate Freestyler.

For all four sports, Skiing, Wingsuiting, Snowboarding, and Paragliding, your score is evaluated based on the risks you take and the way to traverse the world. Snowboarding and skiing add a third scoring element: style. To earn yellow style points, you’ll need to flip, twist, spin, and grab your way through the air. Find the terrain that gives you the most air-time and carve a line that shoots you into the sky. Just be sure to stick the landing or you risk cancelling your style score.

To pull off tricks in the best fashion, you will need to master the controls. To do a basic jump, press and release either of the triggers just before the edge of a ramp or cliff face to leap into the air. Hold or flick any direction on the left stick to add some rotation. To flip forward or backward, press up or down instead. For off-axis flips, just move the stick around.

Once you’re spinning in the air, perform a grab by pressing either of the triggers, each one corresponding to one of your hands. For an extra flourish, move the right stick around to tweak your grab or switch your stance before a jump my moving both of the sticks in opposite directions.

To land safely, simply release your input in the air before landing. While amateur freestylers can play it safe with quick flips and spins, true freestyle masters will push the limit by holding their spins and grabs until the last possible second. What kind of Freestyler will you be?
