I found the list below in the FH3 forum, perhaps new ones have been added in FH4 and FH5, but this really ought to be in a menu somewhere in the game.

There are often daily or weekly Forzathon Challenges requiring the player to get one of these, but no explanation is forthcoming within the game, requiring one to Google (or Bing for MS Rewards) which seems daft to me.

Barrel Roll - Jump and spiral in the air and land on four wheels
Lumberjack - Wreck a tree stump (around the Mill etc) at over 50mph
Fruit Salad - Wreck the banana road sign
Snowman - Wreck a snowman (Blizzard Mountain only)

Carried over from FH2:

Skills
Air - All four wheels off the ground.
Burnout - Accelerate to lose traction while on pavement.
Clean Racing - No collisions in an amount of time?
Drafting - Follow an opponent within a certain distance at over 50(?)mph. Oncoming counts.
Drift - Slide sideways for at least (10 meters?) without using the E-brake.
E-Drift - Use the E-brake to slide sideways for at least (10 meters)?
Near Miss - Pass a car you are not racing against at at least (50mph?)
One Eighty - Use the E-brake to spin your car around and accelerate in the opposite direction.
Pass - Pass a car you are racing against.
Sketchy Pass - Pass with damage?
Skill Chain - Accumulate a skill chain multiplier?
Speed - Travel (450 meters?) while doing more than (100mph?) the entire way.
Trading Paint - Scrape a car as you pass (opposite directions?)
Two Wheels - Drive on two wheels (different axles)
Wreckage - Hit something breakable.

Agreed, a guide to skills available in-game could be very helpful. Even after playing Forza Horizon for 1000+ hours, I sometimes forget what their names mean :smile:

It’s about time for Forza to get some sort of manual built-in, like many modern games do (even Gran Turismo 7 has at least a link to regularly updated online manual, covering all systems of the game) :wink:

It says forza horizon but the link takes you to forza motorsport. What is so difficult about adding an in-game list?

it’s definitely for the Horizon games; it’s most of the skills that can be done

quite why it isn’t in the game somewhere is, though, completely beyond me as well - but it’ll never happen because [reasons]
