In what might be described as a combination of cycling and skiing, players race mountain bikes to the bottom of great cliffs, choosing the best line, avoiding obstacles, and gaining speed whenever possible. This extreme sports title features big trick opportunities, professional riders, brand-name equipment, and an eclectic soundtrack of licensed music.

This means that the player constantly moves downwards while avoiding obstacles and - if he is in range - hit an opponent to hinder his progress.
