A low-risk earning loop
Wheelies can earn cash during ordinary riding, while the orange rideout events are reported to double trick rewards. A practical loop is to practise tricks first, ride to a running event when one appears, then use the earnings toward a scooter or crate upgrade.
Police chases can pay more as the pursuit grows, but they add capture risk. Treat exact payouts and multipliers as unconfirmed: they can change with updates and difficulty. Compare the amount shown in your own session before deciding where to spend time.
