In gameplay, Air Ride lets the playable character take off into the air, where the player can glide throughout the course and steer themselves in different directions. However, the circumstances that decide which playable characters are able to Air Ride depends on the game. While Air Riding, the player gains [[Air]]/[[Gravity Points]] in the process. Additionally, Air Ride allows the player to utilize [[Dash Ring|Dash Rings/Accelerators]], which usually lead into a shortcut on the racing courses and allows the player to travel faster that regular riding speed.

To initiate Air Ride in gameplay, the player has to be launched into the air by a [[Catapult]] (or Kickersin''SonicFreeRiders'') on the racing courses, from where the player then will use Air Ride. Over time, the player will lose momentum and fall to the ground automatically, but at any time, the player can cancel the Air Ride and immediately drop down.

The move first appeared in ''[[Sonic Riders]]'' where it is called '''Air Riding'''. In this game, only [[Fly Type|Flight Type]] characters or other characters riding on certain Extreme Gears are able to perform Air Ride. When using Air Ride, the player has free directional movements (Notethoughthatvertical movements are inverse, so if the player moves the control stick/d-pad up, the player will move down and vice versa). To drop down immediately from Air Ride, the player has to press the jump button ({{A Button (Xbox)}}/{{A Button (Gamecube)}}/{{X Button (PS)}}).

In this game, the player can Air Ride by both going off Catapults and Kickers. Due to the Kinect controls of the game, when performing Air Ride, the player must extend their arms out wide to gain height; if the player does not do this, they will immediately fall to the ground. If the player wants to drop down, the player must drop their arms down. Additionally, there is no horizontal steering while using Air Ride in ''Sonic Free Riders'', so the player can only steer vertically.
