Riko's Tutorial:

This tutorial was recorded back when the game was only on console, and only covers the bare basics of the mechanic.

Blunts' Tutorial:

This guide is more in-depth, it explains the concept of hobsliding, goes over the details of how to trigger and maintain one, and explores several different methods with which hobslides are obtained. This is a good source to learn from as a beginner, and provides a platform to help a new runner expand upon their game knowledge. Once you have mastered the basics displayed in this tutorial, it will be much easier to understand and learn from what is happening in top tier runs on the leaderboards.
