- Elise Riggs: A balanced rider, good for all event types. Her initial stats are well-rounded, making her a solid choice for beginners.
- Mac Fraser: Known for his trick prowess. Mac excels in freestyle events with high initial trick and air stats.
- Psymon Stark: An aggressive rider with high speed and boost. Psymon is great for races and pushing the limits.
- Kaori Nishidake: Agile and quick, Kaori is excellent for navigating tight courses and performing quick tricks.
- Nate Logan: A powerful rider with strong grind and stability stats, making him good for rail-heavy courses.
Consider your preferred event type (race or trick) when choosing a character, but remember that with enough upgrades, any character can become a champion in all disciplines.
