Rocky Ridge

"A frontier town alive with pioneers. Steam engines and mining carts criss-cross the expansive gorge below."

- Course description

Rocky Ridge is the second track of Sonic Free Riders.

Description
It is based on a mining town set in a dry area, featuring mining tunnels, train tracks and minecarts, along with some cacti throughout the course. At one point in the course, the player must use a mining cart to get through an area of the level.

Course Layout
Standard: Ahead of the staring line is a catch-mode section if the character needs rings followed by a curve to the first grind, air ride and power skill shortcuts (keep to the left, center and right respectively for those shortcuts). Whatever route is taken is led to a trick ramp. The character should try to perform a high trick since the second grind, air ride and power skill shortcuts can be accessed from taking the high path. Beyond any shortcut lies a trick ramp which takes the character to a mine tunnel leading into a mine cart section. Finally a trick ramp followed by a straightforward path takes the character to the start/finish.

Expert: Much like Standard, the beginning of this course has a catch-mode section and a curve leading to the first grind, air ride and power skill shortcuts Eventually the character is taken to a catch-mode section containing rings and Air replenishment items before a trick ramp. A U-turn track section lies ahead requiring the character to turn to the right (may hit the quarterpipe ramp for some Air) although the second grind skill shortcut at the start of this section navigates through the U-turn at a faster speed. After a performing a trick, the character is then led to either the power or air ride shortcuts (keep right and center respectively) which quickly leads towards a long section. A train serving as an obstacle will move by either the left or the right paths as indicated on its train tracks while the center path is covered by rocks being able to be knocked away with the power skill and after that is the mine-cart section. Finally a trick ramp with a linear straightforward path leading to the start/finish.
