I find that I miss a lot of power-up spawns on blind turns where I am not fast enough to react to jump and get them. I realize their spawns are random, but are they completely random? Should I look for them every 100 m, every 250 m, or triggered my score levels or something else?

I've wondered this also. My guess is that the power-up type is generated randomly but at predefined times or distances. I've never encountered two power-ups within 250 m of each other. – nbogard Feb 17 at 8:59
I just played a quick 3 rounds collecting two power-ups in each round. I hit the first at about 550 m and the second at about 1300 m for all rounds. Note that this was on an account with one Pickup Spawn upgrade (10% increase in frequency). – nbogard Feb 17 at 9:03

By how I've played, you usually get one during 500-650m and the second one is at 1000-1200m. Even further, you get into a mine, soon after you get out, there will soon be another power up. This is about how far I have gotten.I hope to get even further to find more power ups to improve this answer even farther.

Yes, the first two are consistently at those distances. And there is always a power up just outside of mine exits. – nbogard Mar 1 at 0:44
