Overview
Description

Big Air Freestyle puts you on a high‑octane motocross bike, racing across 20 supercross and motocross tracks while battling nine other riders for the top spot. The game also features six dedicated freestyle arenas where you can pull off sick tricks and show off your style. The split‑screen multiplayer lets you and a friend go head‑to‑head, whether you’re competing for first place or trying to out‑perform each other in the freestyle zones. Developed by Paradigm Entertainment and published by Infogrames, it delivers a classic early‑2000s arcade racing experience.

Freekstyle delivers an over‑the‑top motocross experience where speed meets insane stunts. Push the limits with backflips, tsunamis, and Mulisha Airs on wildly designed tracks.
