INTRODUCTION
Experience yet more of the thrills and spills of dirt bike riding in this
new improved all action simulation desgined for one or two players. Against
the clock guide your rider over 24 different courses, keeping a careful
lookout for the numerous hazards and obstactles which come your way.
These include:
Springboards - They will bounce you into the air, although you can prevent
this from happening by holding down the fire button.
Steps and picnic tables - You will have to jump over these!
Wooden ramps, sand, pipes, brick walls, screen walls and gates - Go slowly.
Tyres, hedges and barrels - Go quickly over these as it is dangerous to
jump.
Spikes - Avoid these at all costs - you have been warned!
Mud - Watch out for muddy patches as they will slow you down.

It is possible to enter any of the 24 different courses which are listed from
A-X, and select five to play at one time. Should you fall off (and you
will!), the computer will restart you in the next convenient position, in the
meantime, the timer will count at twice the normal speed.
