TRICK TIPS: Gyro Force™ can perform amazing stunts on the ground or in the air. The controller works much like a
video game controller. The right combination of buttons and momentum are used to perform specific moves.
BACK FLIP FROM A JUMP
Get the vehicle up to maximum speed before hitting the
jump. Hold the turbo button down while driving towards the
ramp. As soon as the vehicle leaves the ramp press the
Gyro Button reverse (left).
Drive in reverse at full speed, holding the turbo button
down. Tap the Gyro forward button twice and release the
turbo button.
KICK FLIP
It takes time and practice to master specific tricks, but Gyro
Force™ can perform amazing stunts right out of the box.
Just try pressing the turbo button and Gyro controls at
different times.
SAFETY INFORMATION
Always turn Gyro Force™ off before attempting to
pick it up. Never touch the vehicle while it is
regenerating or moving. Do not place the Controller
on the ground with the button facing down. This could
cause accidental starts or erroneous responses.
