PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Ride for Your Life! In the year 2097, BMX riding has been outlawed and
a twisted reality game show is the showcase for public execution of
these fugitives. The maniacal host of the show, Dixon Von Blass, has
eliminated all but a handful of these riders and resorted to risky time
travel technology to pluck new contestants from the past to fuel his
gladiatorial exhibition. To ensure that no rider survives the deadly
gauntlet, they are injected with a powerful toxin before the show. Jason
Hayes, fresh from 2002 is about to give the show its highest ratings
as he rides for his life in a world where death equals ratings.
Injected with deadly toxin, ride through 14 sets recreated from famous
locations and time periods in the first ever mission-based BMX game.
The only way to survive the deadly game show is to complete objectives,
avoid deadly obstacles and pull off insane tricks all the while avoiding
Dixon's henchmen. Will you be remembered as the savior of BMX or just
another rerun?
