On a long grind you need to do a trick and grind on the same thing again. This serves to both keep you at a good speed on a long grind and it increases your multiplier.

Try to hit X sooner than you think you need to? Could also try turning up the sound, noticed it helps land those perfects more easily.

I've got a question.
Junkyard 4. What is the 'Frontside 360 Spin' trick it's asking you to achieve? I can't find that trick in the trick book. I've tried every possible trick combination I can think of and it hasn't triggered this yet. Anyone help? Thanks!

Same, I didn't get that either.
Got the landing and grinding timing and inputs down pretty well, just sailing through levels and enjoying the game mechanics. Very nice. Any updates on friend leaderboards?
Wait longer with pressing x until the very last frame before hitting the ground.
You gotta press down right before u land on the grind, much like pressing x when u land normally
Game is crashing for some ppl? I've not had a single crash.
Loving this game, though can't play for longer than 10 mins. Need a grip badly

For moves that ask you do do a move with a certain degree spin, it's asking you to do a move and hold down L or R in midair until you've done the required rotation. For the move you're asking is there a move in the trictionary simply listed as frontside spin? If so that's what you need to do but hold down the shoulder button until a 360 spin is achieved then land the trick.
As has been mentioned, you need to nail the landing to keep your speed up and keep tricking (and nailing the landing) as you grind the longer rails. You'll come unstuck in places, but once you learn the layout it's the only way to go.
I haven't had a single crash since I rebooted my Vita. Had about 4 crashes in a short period when I first downloaded, but after I rebooted, have had none.

Played for the first time last night and it's so difficult at first. Can't wait to get better
I bought it against my own better judgement... and I'm loving it.
Same here, don't even know where I'm supposed to find the time for this but I'm a sucker for these kind of games. The sound of the grinds alone give me some kind of satisfaction that makes it worth it.
The only time I've witnessed a crash on this was on the wifi at my parents house (which isn't exactly reliable in my experience). Both at home and tethered on my phone it's been fine.
Hopefully the patch will get through certification soon, but as has been mentioned going to airplane mode should definitely help.

Such a fun little runner-like game, great controls and atmosphere/music.
But what on earth were the devs thinking not having a proper leaderboard in this kind of game?
Also, what's up with the thread title? Hotline Miami?!?

I need help with Junkyard 3 pro on rad mode. It's the only level I need to beat on rad mode and I'm completely stumped. There's a certain jump when you're grinding rails that is basically impossible because you're going too fast and fly right over it in to the garbage. In normal mode for this jump you can just make sure you hit a grind without getting a perfect so you'll slow down, but obviously that's not an option here. Is there any way to slow yourself down so you can hit the grind? Maybe a specific type of grind that can slow you down? I'm stumped. Th and I've tried taking a lower path that doesn't involve grinds but it's impossible to get past this bit that way. Help.
I haven't played Rad mode yet but have you tried pressing down on the stick as soon as you're in the air? It should get you down quicker and shorten the space of your jump
Yup, don't know why the title is causing so much confusion.
Wouldn't this also fudge your grind?

Bought it on Sunday night and have been playing since.
Such a fun game though my left thumb is protesting a bit (mostly due to the vita stick itself as I've only been playing on my 3DS as of late).
I really love the music for this game.

God I love this game.
My only gripe is the soundtrack sucks. Hotline Miami it ain't in that regard.

So basically like a Runner?
My mind is blown by how Hotline Miami is the first thing that would come to anyone's mind.

I am currently on the Base part, have 5 starred every casual level up to this point, think my best score so far is somewhere in the 300k range, but for the life of me I cannot do a good Ollie out of a grind, which is really holding me back from getting up there on the leaderboards.
It is always just an Ollie or a Nollie out of grinds. So what is the trick to breaking this habit? I am thinking it is being really technical and planning things out accordingly, but for whatever reason it just all goes to hell once I start a run. I got perfect landings down, perfect grinding down, just cannot vary up my tricks out of a grind.
Any suggestions?

Yes. Again, this is something that wouldn't be a problem on normal but on rad mode you aren't allowed anything but perfect landings and perfect grinds.

For me it's the most recent game of this type I could think of off the top of my head besides Bit Trip Runner.
Man, I'm finally starting to get good at this game. Getting perfect landings and perfect grinds almost constantly now. Shit is awesome.
The challenges in each stage are actually really fun to complete. They're a lot like the objectives you'd find in a Tony Hawk game. I really like that some require you to get across the finish line and some don't.

It's extremely similar in the way you progress through the stage little by little, "die" and restart immediately until you learn "Oh, there's a guy with a gun around this corner/there's a gap in the sidewalk after this staircase and a snowman to jump over" until you complete a level. It's got more in common with that than an endless runner since their are definite stages instead of randomly generated endless sidescrolling.
Thanks for pointing out the L+R=Nollie option. Didn't realize you can do that.
Great game, get's the "one more time" feeling very well.
After a few hours I didn't have one crash, I wonder why so many people seem to have problems. I hope it's fixable.
This game really showed me how we have absorbed the "normal gaming controls". Than one time comes a game with a different control scheme and you need ages to get used to it. I don't know how many times I pressed R for a save landing or X to Jump.

The soundtrack is fantastic, in my opinion. I like both soundtracks for each game, for the record. They really emphasize getting into a flow state and staying there, I think.
Not amazingly. Hopefully enough. Should have gotten a preview out before the game to build hype, hard to get it from the videos. Might have then been able to justify the not quite impulse-buy price. UK with PS+ was a fantastic price though that isn't the majority of folks.
Lay off the tricks? Better when it's just spins and ollies (d-pad?), just need to not get too greedy.

Trying to figure out how to get the first 2 spray cans on level 1-4... Driving me kinda nuts but I'll keep at it (probably super-obvious anyways).
