Rules of the run
You run along railway tracks and avoid trains and other obstacles. Move between lanes, jump over low barriers and roll under high ones. Speed rises after about half a minute, and one mistake ends the run.
Coins collected on the way unlock characters and hoverboards. The latest world on Poki is Bali, and there are nine main characters, starting with Jake.
Use the first half minute to settle into the lanes; the speed rises after that.

Hints
- Use the first half minute to settle into the lanes; the speed rises after that.
- Look ahead of the nearest train, not at it. Lane changes need room.
- Pick up coins when it is safe; they unlock characters and hoverboards, not safety.
- Keep the hoverboard for a moment when the track gets crowded.

Drawbacks
