Representing just its second appearance in Olympic history in London this year, BMX is an insanely challenging and exciting sport. Bikers are pitted against each other in a series of on and off road courses, testing their ability to make impressive jumps, manual over hills, and output their opponent without wiping out from a bad angle. Mad Skills BMX, the companion to Turboilla's Mad Skills Motocross, does a very accurate job of emulating the feel of a pro bmx racer. And it isn't always a good thing.
Swedish developer Turborilla is working on Mad Skills BMX, an iOS follow-up to the pretty excellent Mad Skills Motocross. That should be enough to get your attention, but here's something a little more: The studio put together an animated trailer for the game that looks like a grungy but compelling cross between Beavis & Butthead and Rugrats. Oh, and the game looks pretty awesome, too.
Ever been worried you might have forgotten how to do something you used to master day in, day out? "It's like riding a bike," people say - an especially slack defence when you think about it, given almost every one of us no doubt spent hours struggling to do just that, falling off and picking up bruises and grazes aplenty in our front yard.
