CONTROLS

→ D	Throttle. Hold it. The bike will not wheelie itself.
← A	Brake. It scrubs speed but never stops you — the bike always rolls forward.
↑ W	On the ground: jump. Tap it to hop a cactus or launch at a bird. In the air: rotate backwards (backflip).
↓ S	On the ground: crouch. Hold it to duck under a bird. In the air: frontflip.
Z / X on the ground	Wheelie / stoppie — both still score while you hold them.
SPACE	Lightning Boost. Burns the blue bar. Charge it by landing tricks.
Z X C V B	Trick keys — hold one in the air. See the trick book.
Q	Use the item you are holding. Bananas drop behind you.
F	Switch view: 2D side ↔ rider POV.
H	Show / hide the on-screen control pads.
R	Restart the run.
ESC	Back to the menu.

The control strip sits along the bottom of the screen on every device: brake and throttle bottom-left, lean back / lean forward / boost bottom-right. Tap them, click them, or ignore them and use the keys — the legend between the pads is the same mapping. H hides the pads if you want the full view, and you can set the default under ON-SCREEN CONTROLS on the TRACK tab.

THE THREE-LIFE RULE

Every rider starts with three lives.
Crash 1 → 2 lives · Crash 2 → 1 life · Crash 3 → game over.
A crash respawns you at the last checkpoint with your score intact, so a crash costs you time and your combo, not your run. You crash by landing more than about 80° off the slope, by putting the rider or the frame into the ground, or by falling off the world.

WHAT COUNTS AS A CRASH-PROOF LANDING

Match the angle of the ground you are about to hit. The bike auto-levels a little when you are not touching the lean keys, which is enough for small jumps but not for a flip — if you start a flip you have to finish it and straighten up yourself.

THE TRICK BOOK — 25 FMX TRICKS

Hold a trick key in the air, pick the variant with ↑ or ↓, and let go before you land. Fifteen tricks live on the five keys. The other ten are chords: hold two trick keys at once. While a trick key is held the lean keys stop rotating the bike, so a flip and a body trick are separate decisions — and if you are still hanging off the machine when the wheels touch down, you crash.

Z EXTEND	Tsunami · ↑ Kiss of Death · ↓ Ruler
X WHIP	Nac-Nac · ↑ Shaolin · ↓ Cliff Hanger
C LET GO	Rock Solid · ↑ Dead Body · ↓ Holy Grab
V VARIAL	The Volt · ↑ California Roll · ↓ Hart Attack
B BIKE	Bike Flip · ↑ Special Flip · ↓ Flair

Chords — hold two keys together:
Z+X Superman · Z+C Superman Seat Grab · Z+V Heel Clicker · Z+B Candy Bar · X+C Coffin · X+V Lazy Boy · X+B Saran Wrap · C+V No-Hander Lander · C+B Indian Air · V+B Double Grab

NAMED COMBOS

Chain the right tricks inside one jump and the whole line pays a bonus on top: THE FULL SEND (Special Flip + Volt, 6,000) · BODY LANGUAGE (Rock Solid + Dead Body + Holy Grab, 5,000) · BIKE THIEF (Bike Flip + Double Grab, 4,400) · STRETCH LIMO (Tsunami + Kiss of Death + Ruler, 4,200) · WHIP SET, SUPERMAN SHOW, SPIN CYCLE, CALIFORNIA DREAM, COUCH POTATO and HANDS OFF. Ten in all.

Hold longer for more points, and chain several in one jump — a Flair into a Nac-Nac into a Kiss of Death all score on the same landing. The Special Flip (rider backflips while the bike stays level) is the biggest single trick in the game at 3,000 base. Doubles and triples on flips pay squared: a triple backflip is 7,200 before your multiplier.

ROTATION AND SCORING

WHEELIE	Front wheel up while moving. Scores continuously.
STOPPIE	Rear wheel up while moving. Scores slightly more.
BIG AIR	Over 0.6s of hangtime.
180 → 1080	Partial rotations, rounded to the nearest half turn.
BACKFLIP	A full backwards rotation. 800 points, and it squares: a double is 3,200, a triple is 7,200.
TWIST	Flair, Volt and California Roll add a horizontal twist — scored on top.
FRONTFLIP	Same, rotating forwards. Much harder off an upslope.
PERFECT LANDING	Touch down within 15° of the slope. +300.

Every trick you land inside a 3 second window raises your combo multiplier, up to x10, and the multiplier applies to everything you score while it is live. Crashing resets it to x1. This is where the big scores come from — a x8 combo chain across a ramp section is worth more than the entire rest of the course.

CACTI AND BIRDS

Every course has 5–10 cacti — hop them with ↑. Clipping one spins you out, kills your combo and costs 500 points.
Birds launch off the horizon straight at your chest. Duck under with ↓, jump clean over with ↑, or — for 1,500 points and a bounce — come down on top of one. Landing on a bird is worth far more than avoiding it.

ITEMS, SATS AND BANANAS

Ride through a ? box to get an item and press Q to use it: ⚡ boost, 🟠 shield, 🚀 bull rocket, 🧲 sat magnet, or a 🛢️ oil slick which you drop behind you — in multiplayer everyone else sees it on their track. Hitting one spins you out: you lose your combo and most of your speed, but not a life. Sats are scattered along the track and arc over every jump; each one scores, they make you faster up to +20%, and 100 sats is a free life.

WIPE OUT AND REVIVE

Lose all three lives and you get a revive prompt with a six second countdown — take it and you restart at the last checkpoint with your run intact for 25% of your score. Three revives per run. You never start the course over.

POWER-UPS

⚡	Lightning Boost — refills the boost bar.
🟠	Bitcoin Shield — absorbs one crash, lasts 14s.
🚀	Bull Run — instant speed injection.
🐻	Bear Trap — halves your speed. Scores points for surviving it.
💎	Satoshi Multiplier — 1,200 points and a combo step.

All power-ups are earned on the track. Nothing in this game is purchasable and nothing about your bike or your wallet makes you faster.

RIDE LENGTHS

SPRINT ≈ 3 minutes — 725 candles. Score attack, one clean line.
CLASSIC ≈ 5 minutes — 1,265 candles. The standard race.
ENDURANCE ≈ 10 minutes — 2,620 candles. Still three lives. Survival matters more than style.
Times assume a rider who does not crash — every crash adds the ride back to the checkpoint. Leaderboards are kept per course and per length, so a sprint time never competes with an endurance time.

MULTIPLAYER

QUICK RACE drops you into any open room. CREATE ROOM gives you a 4-letter code to share. The host picks the course, the length and the start; the server sends everyone the same seed so every rider gets byte-identical terrain. You will see rivals as ghost riders on your track, their pips on your progress bar and live standings top-right.

VIEWS

2D SIDE is the arcade view — the whole chart scrolls past you.
RIDER POV puts you on the bars: the track becomes a road through a canyon of candlestick pillars, green on green days, red on red days. Same physics, same course, same leaderboard — just a different camera on the same world.
