Bit of an awkward/ugly run, but I'll take it!
I have a new move near the end that's worth about 1.5 seconds, but the bike needs to be presented just so - which it wasn't here.
It's niggling me, but I'm really not going to play this level any more now. |

Andrew A on Andrew A's game on palmstamp.com | | | Clattered the final M pretty hard!
With a leap off the O and the right trajectory, 13.5ish looks doable. |
|
BikerBrian on Andrew A's game on Zip-Zap | | | Great run! I'm glad you decided to move on...
|
|
BikerBrian on Andrew A's game on Cave | | | Amazing! I still remember the anxiety I would get while flying down the hill trying to stay under a bit of control. Much of the rest of it is so unpredictable. |
|
Andrew A on Andrew A's game on Sharper Than Glass | | | Puts me level with you in the pack BB! |
|
BikerBrian on Andrew A's game on Sharper Than Glass | | | Nice work! This is the last pack where I hold gold and one of the only ones where you don't... |
|
Andrew A on Andrew A's game on Cave | | | Yes - not a pleasant level. There's a bit you can do going across the bottom - here and there - to get by; but mainly the best you can do is stay low and smooth whilst going as fast as possible, and just ignore the (stalac)spikes..
I inadvertantly updated my Ios. Ok - clicked by accident and thought - ah, what the hell, just let it run. After all, it's never broken the game before.
It broke the game. The game plays, but the menu page is now completely blank. You can't pick a level, or save, go back, forward or access anything at all.
Thinking about buying an old ipod on ebay just to see the 'Quest' out. It's a stupid waste of time on any sensible level, but I've got this far - so..

BikerBrian on Andrew A's game on Cave | | | Same problem for me! At least you're going out on top. |

Vega on Time Trial Champions | | | Wow. Andrew A, where on earth did you come from? I haven't logged in to this forum for years. In fact, I had an extremely difficult time logging in because I couldn't get into my super old gmail account to change my password. Yonkers! Anyone else playing this game still or is this a man show now? |
|
Vega on Andrew A's game on Pirates of the Caribbean | | | This is great! You pulled ahead with your trick at the first drop. I ad no idea that would save time. Never even thought to try that!! Well played. |

Vega on Vega's game on Catapult | | | First game submission in almost 7 years. |

Vega on Vega's game on Catapult | | | ha! Hi Andrew. Yes... dusted off me ol' Treo 650
Plugged in the charger and it literally just started right up like I was using it yesterday! Incredible.
Funny though, I am using an extremely old version of BoD. No resume feature. No new graphics (old stick figure biker only).
Ok so I didn't realize that the new iOS killed the game. That's really a bummer. I have iOS10 so there's no chance for me on me iphone 5s.
So what ipod touch would you recommend?
|
|
Andrew A on Vega's game on Catapult | | | Original stick vector graphics figure, but with resume - I would consider optimal. I would love to go back to that, but the increasing glitches between the old code and newer iOS's made it impossible to go back to that mode, I found - the game would just quit if you tried to alter any settings. This is the way it was for me in the last year or two. Can't say for the other remaining players. The bitmapped graphics overlay - though brilliantly done - slightly blurs how you can read the physics engine. Like playing guitar with gloves on. Thin gloves, but....
Best iPod Touch? An early one that isn't capable of being updated to an even vaguely modern iOS. Something pre hi res screen (so 640x480 - same as a late Palm). 2nd or 3rd gen, I would go for. That's what I will go for! Cheap on eBay, as well.
You may have a problem getting a compatible (iOS) copy of the game though. it's no longer available on any App store, so unless you have a copy tucked away somewhere - you are stuffed. Or maybe not. Get in touch with BB - he may be able to help.
I'll leave it there for now. |

Vega on Vega's game on Pirates of the Caribbean | | | Drink up me hearties. Yo ho! |

Mr.pickle. on Vega's game on Catapult | | | Well poop. I (as of today) have just bought a new computer which I was intending on using to install itunes and manually load the file (BB was gonna send it to me ages ago when I was ready to jump back in) onto my iphone...
Looks like that is going to fail on multiple fronts |
|
Mr.pickle. on Vega's game on Pirates of the Caribbean | | | Someone is apparently not rusty at all after a seven year break.
You make this look altogether way too easy. |

Vega on Vega's game on Clay Serpent | | | Unquestionably the hardest I have ever worked for a silver medal in all my years of Bike or Die |
|
Vega on Vega's game on Clay Serpent | | | I can get ahead of my ghost too on various different runs, but this level is so incredibly unforgiving and rickety rackety, that I just don't know if I want to put in the time to beat Smalls.
10 years ago, I posted 32.50 for 4th place. It took me 1,356 tries for 82 completed runs, and was pushed down to 8th place, tied with MATA.
I have now played 8,993 and completed 528. That's 7,637 tries and 446 completed just to gain 0.26 seconds to move to 32.24 And btw, I tied my own best ghost of 32.50 5 times before I beat it with a 32.28 run. Then I beat 32.50 another 15 times before landing 32.24. Then watching the ghost against Smalls and other players makes it look like there is all kinds of room on this map, which is insane.
I used the "Cirenco/Kris" route all the way up until yesterday. I still think that route has the potential to hit 31.xx, but I find it more difficult to keep speed through the center circle after the jump.
Then, after being rather burnt out, I tried the "Smalls" route, and landed tons of great runs back to back to back. I don’t know which route is faster because they both yield extremely close results.
Ok I know that only like 2 people are going to see this post so I will can it.
And now... Clay Serpent is truly my least favorite Standard level, but at least I have conquered it well!!
