Mountain Bikes Shop

There are several types of mountain bikes you can purchase at the shop. Each next model has better characteristics than the previous one in respect to maximum speed, acceleration, tires and spin quality you get for the money. The price ranges from 2000 $ up to even 10000$. I know, that sounds a little bit too much for a mountain bike, isn't it? Not in this game. The only way to earn that money is to do your best on the track and earn more points by doing stunts and jumping over pits on rough terrain.

Accessories

You don't need to buy the whole bike. Sometimes it is enough to upgrade some of the biking accessories such as: tires (cost is 500$), frame (525$), suspension (400$), brakes (475$). Buying adrenaline is good for tricks boost.

Controls

Controls are more less typical for this type of game. As usually, you use keyboard arrow keys to accelerate, lean left, lean right and brake. Game tracks your score, so if you want to give yourself a fresh start you can reset everything by pressing the 'R' key. 'X' key will do a 'superman' stunt, 'Z' is for 'no hands' stunt and 'spacebar' is for jump.

How to play

Select the unlocked level/track and start the race. Accelerate until you get enough speed to take off the ramp. Do some tricks and stunts while in the air, but make sure the will have enough time to finish his 'Superman' trick before the touchdown. Checkpoint is marked with a flag. In case you tip over or crash, the game will always get you to the last checkpoint you have won.

Achievements

As you race, the game rewards you with some more or less popular achievements. For example, you will earn one for the first win. Than there are others such as: Champion, if you complete all levels, Gold Medal for doing 10 back-flips or front-flips, Paycheck for earning 25000$, Silver Medal for 30 medals won, All bikes bought, Adrenaline, Bronze Medal, and the list goes on and on. There are 21 achievements in total. Some of them are less popular like 'Oops' - the one you get for crashing 10 times, which is very likely you will earn at the beginning.
