Yes it does, a monster trick gives you infinite boost for about one minute, even if you crash. Haven't you ever noticed? Or is that when you get all the letters of SSX On Tour?

that's when you get all the letters, you get 1 minute (or something) of infinite boost

BTW DON'T MIX UBERTRICKS AND MONSTERTRICKS!!!

It's called renting the ps2 version and finding your "monster tricks" on there. If it's even true. Who knows. But yeah SSX On Tour is pretty good for psp. I havn't tried ps2 version yet.
