The Air Slide[1] (エアスライド[2] Ea Suraido?) is a move that appears in the Sonic Riders series. It is a drifting maneuver that enables the users racing on Extreme Gear to traverse sharp turns at high-speeds by consuming Air.

Description[]

When performing the Air Slide, the user shoots out a jet of Air from the side of their Extreme Gear, resulting in the user making a sharp turn while still moving at high speed. After making the turn, the user will then shoot forward in the direction they are facing. In gameplay, this is a useful maneuver for making it through sharp turns on the racing tracks while still maintaining top speed.

To perform the Air Slide in gameplay, it is required that the player has Air in their Air Tank. When performing this move, the player must press the following buttons while steering to the side they want to turn:

GameCube[1] PC[3] PlayStation 2[2] Xbox[4]
P1 P2
Lgame/Rgame [A]/[S] [DELETE]/[PAGE DOWN] L1/R1 Xbox-Button-LT/Xbox-Button-RT

While using the Air Slide, the Air in the Air Tank is consumed at a much faster rate than normal. After then releasing the button, the playable character will shoot forward in the direction they are facing.
