That's essentially the crux of Nail'd: You're always racing. Thanks to the boost system, you're generally racing very fast, too. Players are rewarded with speed-enhancing boost at almost every turn. Apart from racing through boost gates, boost can be earned in myriad ways, including smashing other players, making a perfect landing or, my favorite, crushing another player by landing on top of them. Hell, you can even earn boost by using boost. http://naildbiter.com/E0CRB
