The flight duration and speed can be increased by passing through special rings. Certain Extreme Gear, such as the the Magic Carpet allow the user to fly regardless of their ability type. In Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, characters were no longer defined by ability types, instead each Extreme Gear had an ability dependant on the gear type; air ride and yacht type gear can use the flight ramps, certain types of board gear can transform into air ride or yacht type gears. However, each character's starting gear appears to refer to their ability type. Sonic Free Riders reverts back to the Sonic Riders method.
