Motorbikes‏ Xtreme

Motorbike stunt games add a rotational axis that car games do not have, and the important consequence is that neutral does not exist — you are constantly making small pitch corrections, and the moment you stop, the bike begins to rotate. Wheelies and jumps are therefore not tricks layered on top of driving; they are the same balance input pushed further. Landing is where this compounds, because a bike has a narrow tolerance for pitch on touchdown and no suspension geometry to save an angled arrival. Riders who improve do so by making constant tiny inputs rather than occasional large corrections.

This title is best suited to players who want a demanding balance-based riding challenge rather than forgiving car physics.

1. Make continuous small pitch adjustments; the bike has no stable neutral.
2. Level the bike before landing — the tolerance for pitch on touchdown is narrow.
3. Use throttle to lift the front and brake to drop it, in small doses.
4. Ease off before crests so the launch does not over-rotate you.

• Arrow keys or WASD for throttle, brake and pitch

Objectives

• Complete each course or stunt sequence
• Keep the bike balanced through jumps and uneven ground

The run ends or fails when

• Landing outside the narrow pitch tolerance and crashing
• Over-rotating in the air
• Failing the course or trick requirement

• Continuous pitch balance with no stable resting state
• Throttle and brake doubling as rotation controls
• Narrow landing tolerance with no suspension forgiveness
• Trick and course objectives built on the same balance input

• Constant tiny inputs, never large ones. The bike punishes correction more than it punishes drift.
• Level before you land, always. A bike arriving nose-up or nose-down has no way to recover.
• Ease off approaching a crest. Full throttle over a rise is the standard over-rotation.
