Sonic Riders/Gameplay

Turbulence
Riding a turbulence increases your speed to a point where you can pass the person creating the turbulence.

Turbulence Block
If you created a turbulence, you can press the two buttons below to cause a tornado that boxes the turbulence up and causes other riders to lose speed. Don't use it too often, as this consumes more air than drifting! To do this just press:
 * GameCube:
 * PlayStation 2: psx: L1psx: R1
 * Xbox:

Turbulence Escape
Be aware, however, that you're not the only rider who can create a tornado. If you're ever in an opponent's turbulence and they set a tornado at the end, you need to get out of there quickly! Luckily, you can escape by using the same buttons used to create a Turbulence Block to escape your assailant's turbulence. This doesn't waste air so feel free to do this without fear of losing air and having to run to an air pit.
