this little game is fantastic!

you can get the demo here

its a great side-scrolling physics based motocross game, you have to time your jumps and move your weight around to get the good times, its awesome!

Damn you Doughty!

Whats your best on the 'Climb that hill' track then, mine's 36.34 :)

:::EDIT::: Make that a 33.89 by fluke, the last half of the lap i was flying without a bike :lol:

how do you always find these annoyingly addictive little gems?!!
i'm struggling to break 40s on the Hill Climb!

haha awesome game!

I was quite actively into finding good 'racing' games based on good physics and a long time ago I saw this in development, I can't remember what reminded me but I searched for it again and its finished and playable

its soo satisfying when you get the jumps right.

a few tips

your bike will go faster when your leaning back and on the throttle pulling a small wheelie, the wheels do have rolling resistance.

if your very skilled, you can land on your back wheel off the jumps and on the throttle and get good drive out of the jump

i've tried most of that, but if you go too fast on that track you miss the "boost" zones, so it screws you're time.

Rich, post a vid of a decent run please, i need to see what i'm doing wrong!!

WOW - It's like a modern version of Excite bike!!!! Remember that on the NES??? Looks awesome!!

Nick, you will love this game, the way the bike moves and reacts to bumps and jumps feels just perfect! get the demo downloaded

best ive just done on climb that hill is 40.83... twice!

knocking seconds off that time is just nuts... how how how?

ok, ive just done a 40.18... but still :S

I'm running about 41 sec flat on climb that hill and can only really see small places to improve a few tenths. I could maybe see me being able to get a middling 39 at tops!

glad i'm not the only one in the low 40.s!
i think Rich must take a route other than the "standard one" so that he can hit the other speed boost and clear the huge canyon?

ive tried that, I scrub off too much speed to make the extra boost worth it...

any other times on other tracks? they should be super-close..

sweet music, the first track. I'm about 52.44s
Killing me softly, 2nd track 42.84
Nitro - 13.18

I take it everyone is using the little spacebar 'boost' thing? It fires from the bottom of the bike so when you are leaning forward it boosts you along...

Also front flips are your friend ;)

I seem to take a different route each time lol, at the end of the lap I use the last boost and one mid jump which clears the big bombhole thing and lands between the first and second rollers at the start of the lap. The hardest bit is timing when you fire the boost as you land so the bike doesn't snap in half :lol:

That 33 was a complete fluke, I can do 34's quite often but any faster will be complete luck!

aha, thats why, no im not using that....

lets do a 'no tricks' times... no spacebar

thought the space bar wass only on the Nitro course?! that explains it!!

Is everyone using the arrow keys or different controls??

just old skool arrows for me :thumbsup:

Yea thought so, it jut giving me finger cramp I'm pushing that up arrow so hard!

am i the only one who doesn't seem to have the spacebar boost? only on the nitro track for me.
Rich, have you got the full retail version?

No demo version here :confused:

I can do 40.48 without the boost, I'll get FRAPS fired up either tonight or tomorrow and get a video :)

yeah, i'm pretty similar with no boost. pressing space for me on that track does nothing :(

I'm down to 30.93 now with boost on the last track :thumbsup:

Youtube video uploading, I'm sure sub 30 is possible :D

27.44 on climb that hill with the boost! Just get some good air and keep using the boost.

:o

Any chance of a video? I thought mine was pretty ok!



Bet you can't beat the reaction time :p

How did you do it?

Recorded with FRAPS then uploaded straight to youtube, the demo version of FRAPS only lets you record 30s but thats enough for yours :)

how do you do it. i cant get quicker that 40.63 on climb that hill.and thats with boost!

change that to 32.36 as after i looked on here i had another go and got that.

I've not got any option to view the replay in the game :confused: Did you use time attack or arcade mode?

The only option I have for a replay is straight after a run in arcade mode. Unless I'm missing something.

I leave FRAPS running in the background, do some runs then when I get a good one click on replay at the end and start FRAPS recording, simples :D

OK, managed a 28.23 with video: -

Still think its possible to go quicker too. :thumbsup:

How do you do that boost thing, its doing my nut in.

I think its space with the default controls, but you can only use it on the last few tracks.

You can also change the controls under options.

no boost runs only... lets get some RC style skill going on and no random flying shizzle :woot:

That boost thing doesnt work with me anyway.

exactly, me neither... no boosty racing please

i remapped the controls and still no boost for me.
anyone broken 40s without boost on the hill climb?

anyone got the full game, is it worth the investment?

40.09 so far without boost on climb that hill

39.94 without :p

my best is a 39.59

I wonder if there is any way to transfer the 'ghost' riders to race each others best times?
