The sprawling terrain of San Vansterdam features massive multi-tiered elevations specifically engineered for downhill runs. To successfully complete a sustained coffin hill bomb without turning into a ragdoll projectile, line selection is vital.

Start your run from the highest paved point you can find, such as the switchbacks cutting through the upper scenic districts. Pump to generate speed, then drop flat onto the board early before the grade steepens. Focus on the centerline of the asphalt. Because carving while lying flat is sluggish, you must anticipate turns two to three seconds ahead of time. Use light, pulsing taps on the left analog stick rather than slamming it against the gate, which can destabilize the board's tail and trigger an immediate tail-scrape wipeout.

Watch out for road seams and streetcar tracks. While low guardrails and truck trailers pass harmlessly overhead, surface obstacles will launch your character instantly. Master the timing of releasing the coffin to bunny-hop or ollie over street seams before tucking back down into the slide.
