Overview
Description

Ride like 10-time World Vert Champion Mat Hoffman or seven other BMX pros in this classic extreme‑sports title. Pull off over 200 tricks and combo moves across Street, Vert and Dirt courses, each with its own challenges and flow. Choose from four game modes, compete solo or with a friend in split‑screen, and experience pro‑signature moves that let you shred like the real pros. The game delivers fast‑paced action for anyone who loves high‑fly BMX action on PC.

In 2097 BMX riding is outlawed, and the only way to stay alive is to compete in a twisted reality game show hosted by the maniacal Dixon Von Blass. Injected with a lethal toxin, riders must race through famous locations and time periods, pulling off insane tricks while evading deadly obstacles and the host’s henchmen. Toxic Grind blends extreme sports action with a dark narrative, offering both single‑player campaigns and split‑screen multiplayer. Master the trick system, manage the toxin timer, and survive each brutal round to become the ultimate outlaw rider.
