| Vega's game on Catapult | Vega | | | 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?

| Vega's game on Catapult | Andrew A | | | 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's game on Catapult | Mr.pickle. |  | | 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  |

| Vega's game on Pirates of the Caribbean | Mr.pickle. | | | Someone is apparently not rusty at all after a seven year break.
You make this look altogether way too easy. |

| Vega's game on Clay Serpent | Vega | | | Unquestionably the hardest I have ever worked for a silver medal in all my years of Bike or Die |
|
| Vega's game on Clay Serpent | Vega | | | 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!!

| Vega's game on Clay Serpent | Vega | | | A tricky double flip inside the circle for funsies  Very difficult to land a 32.xx with the extra flip. |
|
| Vega's game on Catapult | Vega | | | Looks like there's jussssst enough room to pull a 34.xx.
It would take pieces of my silver run combined with Laser's moves at 21.xx.

| Standard Levels | Vega | | | btw Andrew... all I did was post one new best time in Standard levels... Clay Serpent.
I was only 4 points behind Mike Flips even after 7 years of no games submitted. So going from silver to gold on Standard levels was as easy as moving from #8 to #2 on one single level. |

| Vega's game on Spike Cave | Vega | | | Anyone ever seen a better run going from top to bottom?
There is a lot more time to shave off this, particulary in the top left coming back over the spikes and then again on the last flip over the tall spike to grab the final flag. I went too high here and wasted over a second. Very difficult route though.... much more difficult than completing the bottom section first. |
|
| Vega's game on Spike Cave | Vega | | | Here is a screen freeze at 32.56 (right when he touches the flag) in a Head to Head vs Kris. You can see how just a couple tweaks could get me to my flag first.
