Challenge 69: getting pulled onto the wire
If grind assist catches the overhead wire as you jump, briefly release the Grind button to clear it. Once past the obstruction, hold boost again. This is the developer’s June 22, 2026 suggestion in response to a challenge 69 question; the player later reported passing it.
Treat it as help with that specific snag, rather than a complete route through every gate or an exact input-timing prescription. The advice does not provide a universal keyboard mapping.
Balance and reset tips from the Demo guide
The official updated Demo guide gives these general BMX tips separately:
- Counter-balance with the left stick while grinding.
- Jump and re-engage the grind for a brief balance reset.
- Use wheelies and grinds to connect jumping tricks.
- With the guide’s Xbox-style prompts, X before landing aligns Pon with the horizon.
Check your control layout
The official Demo guide points to D-pad Down → Journal for more controls and tricks. For the separate keyboard-rebinding entry, see Journal → Controller Settings.
