The object of this game, is to carry out stunts on a motor bike. You have to jump over cars. With each successful jump, you are awarded an extra car. As an extra incentive, there is a competition to find the highest number of cars cleared. You simply record your score on tape and send off your entry. You'll have to be quick though. The competition closes on January 11th 1985.

There is the option of keyboard or Interface 2 plus joystick. The use of keys is simple and logical. You control throttle and brake and the distance to the ramp. You control the man on the bike; lean forward or back to control the bike in the air. My only criticism is the simple BMX pedal bike trainer jump at the start of the program. Provided you achieve full speed on take-off, you have no choice but to start again from the BMX jump (which after one or two tries, you can do with your eyes closed!)
