Basic Gameplay Advice

Basic Rules

Your goal is to ride down the mountain path for as long as you possibly can. Move forward as much as you can and move toward nitro pads to give you a significant speed boost. Avoid getting caught up in puddles; they will slow you down and briefly affect your visibility.

Jump over hills to gain extra points. To stick your landing better, tilt your bike forward or back to keep it parallel with the ground.

The game rewards you for playing dirty. Trip over your opponents by rear-ending them. Make sure not to hit them with any other part of your bike. If you do, you will trip over.

Lives

You begin each game with 3 lives. Each time you trip, you lose a life. Lose all your lives and you lose the game.

The game is endless. Keep going for as long as you can without crashing.

Scoring

You earn points as you move forward. You also gain a massive amount of points from making jumps and tripping up opponents. Jumping off hills will give you anywhere between 200 and 800 points; the points are yours regardless of whether you land successfully. Causing an opponent to crash is worth 1,000 points.

Your web browser automatically saves your best score. You can see both your latest and best scores on the game over screen.

Advanced Playing Tips & Strategy

When jumping off hills, try not to lean too far in one direction. Tilting too much in any direction increases your odds of falling down.

It’s easier to evade an opponent than it is to catch up to them while avoiding crashing then trying to crash them. Only trip up opponents who are already behind you.

In this game your actual speed does not matter. You can go slow waiting to trip up opponents as they try to pass you and easily beat the high score of a player who treats the game like a competitive race.
