Pumped: BMX APP

August 7, 2012

There’s been a couple of BMX apps that have popped up over the years that were alright, but it was pretty clear they didn’t care a lot about the whole “realistic” side of things as much as they should. That all changes now since there’s a new app for IOS (iPhone, iPad, etc.) that will be dropping on the 9th call Pumped: BMX. This new game was created by a BMX rider with years of riding under his belt, 13 to be exact.
The game features realistic tricks and even goes as far as if you over shoot a jump or case, you aren’t making it over the next jump. You can read all about the application over on the Ride UK website where they did an interview with the creator, Adam Hunt.

There’s also another interview with Adam on the Props website. Double Whammy!

Holy hell… I didn’t expect this one. Liam Hutchinson has a big old bag of tricks from technical ramp tricks to real big 360 double whips. There’s a barspin crankflip you’re going to want to see too. Don’t sleep on this one!
