The more you know: Silly Trials HD secret uncovered photo

Warning: what you are about to hear will undoubtedly cause you to boot up your Xbox 360 and play Trials HD to see RedLynx's "secret" feature.

In case you didn't know -- for the record, I totally didn't -- your rider can grab onto objects when he's not on his bike. Once you're in a bailout, simply hit the Y button to latch onto anything in a physics-y fashion.

Some of you may have already discovered this neat little hidden feature on your own, but for the vast majority of us, the concept is brand new. For whatever reason, the developer decided it wasn't a big enough deal to explicitly talk about in-game, but it was big enough to keep in the final version. Weird.

Well yeh i did know that...so my question for you all is.

Did you ever try that in Dave Mirra freestyle BMX on psx.because the same result happens......hold triangle after a bail to grab the nearest object.............i had a mad time hanging from things.......even moving cars.

P.s That was never documented either

awww. KongsNutz beat me to it. Though, he forgot to mention the purpose of the "seceret". I haven't played it in a while but there's also a button combination to purposely bail (my head's telling me that it's all 4 shoulder buttons). There were also ledges in the game that were too high for Dave and his biker pals to reach just by jumping. So, the only way to get to those ledges was to go off a big jump and bail on purpose and grab onto the ledge. Having grabbed onto the ledge would make you respawn on that ledge.

Ta-da! *Jazz Hands*

Yeah I already knew about this. A funny thing to do with this is on the Hill Climb skill game. Get as far up as you can then hold the Y button to bail, your dude will go flying backwards then when he eventually latches hold of something the momentum of the fall will make his arm go like Strech Armstrong!! Amusing.

I knew this... Thought it was common sense... there's some other little tid bits like pressing R(?) or maybe it's L(?) to curl into a ball. Holding Y also gives you more range but let go [of Y] right before you latch onto something so that you don't lose momentum.... I dunno... it's been a while since I've played Trials but should still be somewhat fresh in my mind.

trials rules. Without the whole bailing out flailing about *secret* controls I never would have gotten the strike achievement. By never I mean really freaking long time.
