Before starting your career, you should go to training to learn the
fundamentals of Pro BMX. There are five different training camps and five
lessons in each camp. There is an objective you must complete to pass the
lesson. Training is not necessary to start a career, but is heavily
recommended because the skills you acquire in training are helpful throughout
your whole career. In the training camps, you learn numerous things such as
control, tricks, grinds, stalls, combo's, scoring, advanced tricks,
back-to-back chains, specials, and special tricks. Passing all of the training
camp lessons do not give you a special feature or bike, but it does provide
you with the essential experience you need when you start a career. The
difficulty level is rated from a scale of 1 to 10.

four stars.
-Basic Tricks 1-

Difficulty: 1
Objective: Pick up all 10 stars to pass.
Controls: Hold up or down when approaching a spine to turn.

chain, you must do a trick anytime you do a jump. In this case, when you jump
on a vert, you must do a trick. When you do back-to-back chains, you might
notice that your score multiplier increases by 1, which helps you get more
score. You can do the same trick on both sides, it does not matter.

more air with better bikes! Note: Tricks scores get lower when repeated on the
same type of ramp.

Strategy: The average jump should get you 1500 points, because if you get 1500

My e-mail address is currently
[email protected]. You may send me
questions, suggestions, or comments about this walkthrough or the game to my
e-mail address. Please only send e-mails about Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX for Game
Boy Color, not on other topics.
1) Who is the best biker to choose from?
A: The bikers in the Game Boy Color version of Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX do not
have statistics such as air, spin, balance, or speed. All of them have the
same abilities. They all have the same main tricks. The only thing that varies
another biker from another is their special rider tricks, which only that
certain biker can perform.
2) Why can I not land my combo's/tricks?
A: You might not be timing your combo's or tricks right. To time your combo's
or tricks correctly, you need to dial in your trick as your are going up. If
you dial in a trick as your are going down, then most probably you are going
to crash because you don't have enough time to perform the trick. Your bike
also might have to be better to so some of the harder combo's or the rider's
special tricks.
3) Is training camp required to be completed to beat the game or start a
career?
A: No, training is a mode to teach you the skills you must have to beat the
game. No special modes or cheats are unlocked by beating training camp. The
experience that you receive from training camp is much needed though.
4) Where can I get medals needed to enter certain levels?
A: Medals can only be acquired only by beating competitions.
5) What do I get for beating the Time Trial mode and Career mode?
A: Absolutely nothing extra happens when you beat the Career and Time Trial
modes of the game. Time trial is just to test your ability to do tricks
efficiently while riding to a finish line. For beating the career mode, you
get to watch a nice credits sequence, but that is about it.
