Community Insight:
So the game is good and all but the game only lets you have 1 map if you dont pay SEVEN BUCKAROOS. We like the game though. NO ADS!!! And sorry game but, Im not gonna beat one million seven-hundred thousand fifty two score on docks. GREAT GAME.
It is a great game bcuz we like the graphics and the other things figure it out yalls self.
So nostalgic and also a good game.
The reason why we were glitchy is because your tablet is old or phone.
Very good game gives you god powers and gives you the power to make bikes with your mind. Warning play at your own risk. Playing may give you extreme dihareea, may also give you a dog and make the dog go in a killing state over all we recommend this game.
Its fun and we used to play it on our little bros phone. But we hate it when the multiplier goes back to 1 when u crash plss fix that.
Please make it were you dont have to buy it cuz Im 8 and Im not allowed to buy stuff.
SO MANY ADS and its so annoying however its fun.
This game is the best, but having only one single free level is annoying.
It is a very good game although it should be easier to play like if u tilt the bike just a tiny bit you fall and we are stuck on tocoyo.
We have loved this game since we were a bit younger and still do. The only issue we have with this game is the inability to grind and gain new scenes and maps without purchasing them. Now the only map you can play without purchase is the docks witch is also the starter map. For an older game the graphics and physics are great but the forced purchases are too far. We still suggest this game its good fun.
We used to play this game a while back and we loved it, but now even when we complete all the challenges we cant get to the next place.
Look, we originally started of on touch grind Bmx 2 so naturally Im gonna be worse at this but honestly at the time Im sure it was a good game, but now we can even bottom up reverse tail whip. If you are thinking about getting this to get good, we would just get the new one.but if your getting it for nostalgia and fun, this would be a good option.
The newer version is a lot better. But the problem is the speed of the bike is pretty slow and we like the game and all but yeah we glad you guys are great with Illusion labs! Keep going.
Loved this game when we were younger, used to play all the levels. Re-downloaded it yesterday and turns out you have to pay for the rest of the game! This is over the top, and way too far. Illusion Labs = The EA of mobile game companies.
The newer version is better than this because it has better controls and this one has the most probs because it wont let us control the bike and the missions are too hard and at least just make the game a little more detailed.
Now the new version of this game (BMX 2) is great, but that doesnt excuse the horrid bugs this game has. The bike wont turn even when swiped, the crash mechanics are WAY too sensitive, and the off course reset is also really sensitive. We were at a 6x level when the bike got stuck in a strange position and didnt move, and when it did, a small part of a rock barely touched the wheel, which crashed it. The off course reset (when it goes white) will also pick up on the bike going the slightest bit off by flips, and will reset to a position where we lost our chance at a multiplier. The tutorial videos arent helpful either.
Not as good as the second one but it has potential.
Its a fun game where you can play and learn tricks. But we think you guys should do a tutorial on how to do some tasks. Just to make it a bit easier! We love this game so Im hoping you look into doing that.
We finished it all yrs ago n new ones havent come out.
The game is good but the only bad thing in this game is you need to pay for play the others maps and the online mode you cant play with random people.
Every time we try to do a flip, the screen will move to the ground, and we cant land it or the screen will move up and only the front tires touch and you have to pay for different worlds and that tube on the second jump every time we try to be a trick, it hits the tube please fix.
We keep messing up and Im very good at the new on, its so much better the new one we love it.
First things first is that we played this game for a solid 30 minutes, and not 1 out of those 30 minites were fun. Secondly is that the controls are wonky, (Even though its a mobile game) the graphics are not good, and you dont have someone to play as. And lastly is though even, if all of these traits were good, the developers could have done a better job, and Not STEAL THE ENTURE GAME IDEA FROM ANOTHER GAME.
We hate this game to real and to hard to control you have to buy half the stuff and we would not recommend this game people may like it but we dont so want to have youre kids be happy play something else. If you read this and agree thank you.
We cant hear the sounds of the bmx or the song.
We dont like this game anymore we hate this.
It is Inpossible . Its a bad bad game.
Like right at the end when u are a x6 u try to get the x8 but oh no oh no oh no no no no IT AWAYS MAKES U FALL.
It literally scams your score,when you do something good and have a good multiplier itll do everything to mess your score up,not even a good totorial,dont install.
The game is one of our favorite mobile games, but, FIX THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS. When you upload a run to YouTube, you cant see the score. PLEASE FIX.
You can learn new tricks and you can see them in real life be careful.
We think the whole game is great but well all these levels are super hard and we cant complete them.
It so awesome and great we like it but we didn't found the full version it say buy it in old iPhone it's iPhone 3 please add old iPhone 3 we play your skateboard game it's awesome too but it said buy it so fix that to it will be more than awesome.
We HAVE HAD THIS GAME FOR SO LONG AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! ITS SO MUCH FUN!! We 100% RECOMMEND.
We beat the record our score is 2million.
Hey developers. Your game is great but you need to add more free worlds. You only have one free world and we dont think its fair to people who dont want to spend the money. Please just try considering this.
No ads and every time we get on our iPad we text or play music or play touch grind BMX but we wish we could do more tricks.
We like this game but it makes us so frustrated because we crash and it sometimes doesnt turn or whatever when we want to do something.
There is only the docks and you have to buy the rest.
We like the game but some of the levels are too long and hard.
Great game but we wish it was easier to level up and it is hard to find the map that we were looking for.
Fun but the handling is a bit hard to move the bike.
So first we do this challenge then it says we did not do it like score 50,000 points with no multiplyer then we did that then WHAT HOW we got no multiplyer we got 50,000 points tho and it does tricks for us and we cant even do a trick.
Compared to the 2nd one its kinda slow and hard to do reverse tailwhips and barspins. It would be better if you could make it go fast like the 2nd game.
So its fun but the bike is too slow to do any good tricks.
The levels are fun but the controls barley work, we wish we could get a refund.
Bmx is trash , good concept but its so slow the bikes are slow , the tasks are unclear. Bmx 2 is way better but they still try to get you too buy all the levels after the first 3 . Not fair at all.
THIS GAME IS THE WORST IT LAG AND we HATE THE MUSIC BRU WHAT MUSIC IS THAT BAD BAD BAD GAME DONT BUY 1/10 WORST GAME AVER.
