@@KizzaHigh_OCTANE_HSV Yes it was. Back then, Travis Pastrana attacked the track like he were racing, and by the time others figured out his tricks, Travis made some new ones. It wasn't long ago that nac-nacs, whips, no-hander landers, nothings, and fender-grabs scored really high; today, it seems like FMX is officially dead.

(Old reply must have gotten wiped out.) You're very welcome. I have these X Games stuff on VHS tapes, and I copied them to blank CDs; it's a good thing I did that when I did because the DVD/VCR machine I used broke down recently.

We need a freestyle motocross game where you can backflip but you cant put tricks in it, that way it has an old school feel to it.

@MathewVsSportsMediaandGames

Жыл бұрын

I think people would like it since Freestyle is pretty much dead in terms of new tricks (at least I'm pretty sure anyway). On that note, Jeremy McGrath Supercross World for the PS2 and Gamecube can fall in that category since I tried it out and when you're airborne, it's stunt A first, then stunt B next.
