Called as the Trick play gameplay, this is yet another reason to get the Wii rather than any other console. The first one of course being that it is the most eco-friendly of the lot. The SSX Blur (this game) was designed to ' to max out the hardware and really utilize the controls that we felt translated so well to snowboarding.

The main use for the nunchuk is to enable your rider to carve down the mountain by pitching the nunchuk left and right to emulate turning. The Wii Remote is used for everything in the air, which includes moving side-to-side for spins and up and down for flips'.
