Learn how to master the Mesablanca race in SSX Tricky by utilizing advanced shortcuts, boost techniques, and Ubers to shave seconds off your time and beat the competition.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    From the start, jump and trick to build boost. Swerve right past the moving platforms, slow down, and ski down the jump. Boost at the bottom and aim for the snow ramp on the right.
  2. 2
    This leads to an upper ice shortcut. Boost down until the jump with the trick bonus. Perform an Uber off this jump and land on the ledge below, then onto the shortcut ledges.
  3. 3
    Do not boost on these ledges. After the sharp turn-jump and right turn-ledge, continue boosting without jumping. Take the lower of the two ledges and continue boosting across the next two ledges. You can perform Ubers off these ledges. On the last ledge, hit a rail-log and boost off it back to the main path.
  4. 4
    You'll face a banked right turn with billboards. Skate along the left side and go OVER the turn, beneath or between the billboards. This leads to an area behind the crowd stands. Boost through the deep powder and back onto the main path.
  5. 5
    Take the rail beside the ramps to the right and boost over them. After this, go through the red SSX sign to the left of the cave entrance. This leads to an older section. Cut through the forest, go down the embankment (perform an Uber), and back onto the old shortcut area with jumps over chasms.
  6. 6
    Take the next three jumps (Ubers provide unlimited boost). After the third jump, grind the log to the left onto a wide downhill right turn. Go off the steep jump without jumping. Instead of going around the sharp banked right turn, boost through the red SSX sign directly ahead. This leads to a flat area with a slight upward slope to the left. Prewind and perform a big trick off it.
  7. 7
    You will enter a new ice tunnel leading to the half-pipe/walls area. Upon exiting, look for a cable grind on the left that leads up to billboards. Grind this cable all the way down, bypassing walls and emerging on the other side.
  8. 8
    AUTHOR: ssx4ever: There is a difficult shortcut to bypass the horizontal loop-de-loop. Aim to go straight down the middle through the hole in the bottom of the sign. This requires precise timing and is very hit-or-miss. Try to land early before the loop barriers (indicated by a line/crack in the ice) to maintain balance and achieve a faster takeoff.
  9. 9
    From the loop, it's a short distance to the finish. Boost over all hills without jumping for a fast finish.
Tips
  • Utilize Ubers off jumps and ledges to build and maintain boost.
  • Conserve boost on the narrow ledges in step 3.
  • The shortcut through the billboards in step 4 bypasses a significant portion of the track.
  • The red SSX sign shortcuts in steps 5 and 6 are key to accessing hidden areas and saving time.
  • The loop-de-loop bypass (step 8) is high-risk, high-reward; attempt only if confident.
