You have two options when performing a scrub: sticks towards or sticks away each other. Just before you approach the crest of a jump, you can either steer hard left while leaning hard to the right to pull off a scrub, or steer hard to the right while leaning hard to the left. Basically, you have to move both analogue sticks towards each other or away from each other. To land you need to counter steer while in the air to get your bike straight again and land safely.




Doing a scrub too early and you will lose speed and also possibly control of your bike. Doing a scrub too late and you’ll waste valuable time. You need to perform a scrub just before your bike starts to leave the ground.

Calculate what corners comes next.
Say there is a corner coming up after a particularly large jump, that the direction of your scrub can be advantageous. If there is a left-hand corner coming up, for instance, perform a scrub in which your bike is tilted to the left. If there’s a right hand corner coming up, perform a scrub that tilts your bike to the right. You will find it easier to take the next corner.
