Ramp Rider

Ramp Rider is a free BMX stunt game you play in your browser, set in a sunny dirt-jump park. Your rider pedals down an endless line of plywood kickers, tables, gaps over rocky pits, steel rails and towering mega ramps, and every ramp throws you into the air. Up there the game is yours: lean back for a backflip, hold a trick button for a superman, whip the frame round with a tailwhip, and grind the rails. Then put the trick away in time and level the bike with the landing, because a crooked landing, a trick still out or a rider upside down ends in a wipeout. It is a bike trick game with real physics, a real BMX under a real rider, and nothing to download.

Every jump is a little decision. A short table only leaves time for a quick superman; a gap gives you room for a backflip if you commit early; a mega ramp hangs you in the air long enough for a double flip and a tailwhip on top. A landing guide on the ground shows where you will touch down and turns green when the bike lines up with the slope. Tricks score more the longer you hold them and the more kinds you mix in one jump, a clean landing banks the points, and a perfect landing (bike flush with the slope) adds a bonus. Land a trick cleanly and your chain grows: every jump after it is worth ×2, ×3, up to ×8, until you crash, land sketchy or ride too long without a trick. Manuals on the ground score too and keep the chain alive between ramps.

The track never ends and never repeats: it is built ahead of you from a mix of pieces that gets bigger and faster the further you go. The first sections are gentle tables and drops, then come gaps, rails, step-ups, mega ramps, doubles and sprint gaps that only clear if you pedal hard. A landing helper keeps an untouched bike level in the early sections and fades away later, so the deeper you ride the more every landing is yours to stick. Every ramp's landing is shaped for the jump it belongs to, so a clean rider can always make it.

You ride Endless: three lives, no clock, and your run lasts as long as you can keep the rubber side down. Trick Attack, a 90-second score attack where crashes only cost you time, is one of the games The Daily can deal you, and it puts Ramp Rider among our quick games too. Your best run goes on the all-time and weekly leaderboards, and top runs are verified by replaying your inputs on our servers, so every score on the board was really ridden.

On a phone, hold it sideways or upright and use the big buttons: LEAN BACK and LEAN FWD under your left thumb, SUPERMAN and TAILWHIP under your right, and you can lean and hold a trick at the same time. Pedalling is automatic; on the ground hold LEAN FWD to pedal hard and LEAN BACK for a manual. On a computer use the arrow keys to lean (and ↑ to pedal hard, ↓ to brake), X for the superman, C for the tailwhip and P to pause. Ramp Rider sits with our sports games, physics games and endless runner games, plays well with the keyboard, and works on mobile and PC alike.
