Controlled landing
Hold [R] after a jump, then use the Left Analog-stick
to steer your descent.
Flip or barrel roll
Go off of a large jump and when in the air, hold [R]
(default controls) + [Left] or [Right] to do a barrel
roll. To flip, hold [R] + [Up] or [Down].
When you are in the air from a jump, press the Right Analog-stick
in any direction. You will flip in the same direction.

Helicopters and hang gliders
Helicopters and hang gliders will fly right through
you and cannot be destroyed. If you hit one while in the air,
you will go through it.
Moab: Knock down rocks
When first starting out, go straight until the first
larger hill. Go to the left and look for a rock structure that
comes to a point and a big ball of rock at the top. Drive up the
low angled side and go directly into the rock. It should fall
down into the crack to the left side. This cannot be done in multi-player
mode.
Moab: Drive on arches
Drive around until you see a large arch and try to
drive up it. You need a power vehicle, such as the Moon Buggy,
the Hummers, or the Monster Truck to do this.
Moab: Go over large hills easily
When using the freeroam option, use the modified Jeep
Wrangler to go over large hills.
Recommended trucks
The Moon Buggy is not the all around best car. The
control is not too good for its speed. The Rod Hall Hummer is
better if you can control it. It goes a lot faster, but the Moon
Buggy is better for doing tricks and things off ramps using the
Right Analog-stick. You can do flips and barrel rolls off
almost any jump. Use the Moon Buggy if you want to show off in
free roam, but use the Rod Hall Hummer if you want to leave them
in the dust in a race.
The truck that can do the best tricks is the Unlimited Chevy Avalanche.
The modified Jeep Wangler can actually reach 110 mph on flat surfaces
and hills.
