Airborne BMX
Airborne BMX: Jump, Spin, Land
Airborne BMX throws you straight into a BMX playground packed with ramps, rails, jumps, and plenty of opportunities to make a very impressive mistake. There are no opponents to chase here. Your job is to get through each course, pull off cool tricks, and try to land without your rider becoming a ragdoll.
Ride, Jump, Repeat
The game is built around movement. Before a ramp, you need to build enough speed with the Pump mechanic. Hit the jump with good momentum, and you will have more time in the air to work on your tricks. Spins, grabs, and grinds can be mixed to create better combos and higher scores.
Of course, there is a tiny catch: gravity still exists.
It is easy to get carried away when a jump is going well. One extra trick might add a few more points, but it can also leave you completely out of position for the landing. Knowing when to show off and when to quit being avaricious and get both wheels back on the track safely are key components of a good run.
Airborne BMX has six worlds to explore, from Foothills and Dark Woods to The Mountain, Dustbowl, Wetlands, and The Park. As the courses become more complicated, familiar skills start feeling much harder. That is where the game gets interesting.
How to Play
Prioritize understanding your rider's movements before focusing on high scores. Use Spacebar to Pump and build momentum around ramps. While you're in the air, use the trick controls to perform different moves. You can also spin your rider and adjust their position so the bike is ready when the ground comes back up to say hello.
Instead of focusing solely on the feat you're doing, try to look ahead. Land smoothly, keep your speed, and the next obstacle will be much easier to deal with.

Chase Better Scores
Once you are comfortable with the basics, start looking at the Trick Challenges and Platinum Medals. Rather than just asking you to complete a course, they give you particular goals. With more than 40 tricks and grinds to discover, there is plenty of room to experiment.
You can also choose between 15 riders and customize your bike with the bike designer. Additionally, the worldwide leaderboards provide you with a platform to showcase any particularly absurd combination you manage to put together.
The best way to play Airborne BMX is simple: keep your speed, stay calm in the air, and don't get greedy. Sometimes the smartest trick is knowing when to stop doing tricks.
