A friend of mine recommended this game to me a while back.
I still fire it up a few times a month to play.
You can try out the free version here

If you like it after trying the free version, you can upgrade to the newest retail copy for $30

This is NOT a racing sim, it's full blown arcade style fun.
Lots of crazy stunts and jumps.

It's something fun to do when you have 15-30 minutes to kill.

Very Cool I'm hooked..Thanks Robert.

I've had a lot of fun with it.
The learning curve is about 30 seconds.

If anyone remembers a 90's racing game called stunts, this is similar to it.
It's a really great game that got very little press for 2 reasons.
1) It was mainly advertised in EU
2) The full version is only available via download thru Steam

So are you playing the free copy or the $30 version?

I'm playing the free version.

I was racing well into the night last night and then dropped into the Internet section and Forgetaboutit these kids just blew my doors off.Lots of fun though.

For those whp tried the new version, what's your thouhgts?
It seems harded the the last copy, takes a lot more tries to beat each race for the gold.
Still fun, seems a little more polished overall.
