THE GAME
A menu appears on the screen which enables you to choose
how to play the game. For example, whether you're playing
alone or with two or three players, which event you want to
begin with, etc.
Playing with the Joystick:
To select the symbols from the menu, move the joystick in the
desired direction and confirm by pressing the FIRE button.
Playing with the Keyboard:
To select the symbols from the menu, use the cursor keys and
confirm by pressing the space-bar.
Number of players:
Select the number of players by clicking on the symbol on the
right where you can see 3 skiers if you're playing with three
people, or in the middle if playing with two or on the left
if playing alone.
NB:The different players play one after the other.
Then type your name.
The All-Round Test:
If you choose the all-round test, you will take part in three
events one after the other (jumping, freestyle and slalom).
The three separate events:
You will only choose jumping, freestyle or slalom.
1. THE JUMP
This event is divided into two parts:
-Approaching the ski-jump. The only command needed is
acceleration( --> ).
The jump itself. Use the directions <-- and --> to
balance the jump.
N.B. You have three attempts. The best will be taken into
account on the score table.
2. THE FREESTYLE
This even takes place on two courses, each being 20 seconds
long.You have to reach a maximum score by doing the different
movements one after the other.
There movements can be made in the centre of the wake or on
the waves made by the boat. To move the skier sideways, use
the keys <-- and -->.
The movements are obtained by pressing the FIRe button and a
direction key or the space-bar and a direction key.
Make sure you press the FIRe button or space-bar at the same
time as the direction key.
Movements in the middle of the wake:

NB: With the keyboard you get the diagonal directions by
pressing two keys at the same time.
Explanation of the figures:
90 degrees is called a side-slip.
180 degrees is a half-turn.
360 degrees is a complete turn.
540 degrees is one and a half turns.
A somersault is a sort of half turn in the air! (a
speciality of Patrice MARTIN).
Some of these figures can be done using the STEP method.
This means that the skier puts his leg over the traction rope
whilst rotating.
3. THE SLALOM
This even takes place in a vast stretch of water. You have
to slalom between six buoys from left to right.
NB: You have to go between the first two buoys (they call
this a gate), and above all, between the last two at the end
of the course. The buoys are very easy to recognize because
they are close together. As you go along, you will restart
the course with a shorter rope.
To start the course, press the FIRE button or the space-bar.
Commands:
