Beach Ball Strategy

[Shannon]

I got bored when I was driving around Starfish Island and remember the beach ball. After about 2 minutes of beach balling I've worked out a strategy that will get you some fairly high numbers.

Hit Select until you get the very small view of Tommy. Kick the beach ball up in the air and you'll notice a shadow on the ground. This is the ball. The trick is to stand over the shadow of the ball. Follow the shadow and don't take your eyes off it. Don't look at your score either - that'll just throw you off.

Happy Keepie Uppieing.

yeah, that's what i do too... what's your highest score?

How do you start it bouncing?

Does anyone know exactly which house it's in? I've never really looked/found it.

 

[Shannon]

Remember the house with the Rockstar pool? Well, across the road is an alley. Go through the alley and then go through the gap in the fence to get to the house with beachball. The small set of steps on this house is also a Unique Jump.

My highest score is around 30 at the moment. I'd only been doing it for about 5 or so minutes...

 

[Acidman]

my highest score is 40 with the normal (default) view

just run into it and it should pop up into the air

If you can get it just right you can get the ball to bounce in the same spot, so you dont have to move (or only a very little).

I think I had about 10-15 bounces where I hardly moved.

 

[Shannon]

I just got 73 a couple of minutes ago.

 

[Vasco]

But it still doesn't give you anything...it would be good if you got like 1000 bounces you got something cool...

 

[Shannon]

1000 bounces. You'd probably be able to do it in your sleep if ou managed that.

 

[Vasco]

What do you mean by that? I think it's possible, but it would probably take a long time, I reckon it's already been done.

85 is the highest I know of...

 

[Giancarlo]

The ball's actually in quite a few pools...

 

[Vasco]

If you shoot it, does it pop?

 

[Acidman]

well it dosen't pop but it just dissapers if you shoot it, and if you kick it into the water it floats

 

[Vasco]

Heh...It would be cool it it popped, and you could repair it by using a pump...

it doesn't dissapear, it just shoots up in the air.. eventually it'll come down... at least that's what happened when i shot it with the PSG-1

 

[Acidman]

i shot it with the M4

Yer a funny fella aint ya

That would be cool though, you put the flat ball in ur trunk and take it to the spray shop , they spray it for you and you return the ball back to its rightful owner
