Agreed StanJr, I don't think it is a exploit, but it is the most effective technique. For example, the very first jump scores the following: (scores approximate, you also score for distance/air time of the jump) Flip = 300 2Flip = 900 3Flip = impossible (I think) Hold Tabletop = 500 Quick tabletop = 300 2Q.Tabletop = 900 3Q.Tabletop = 1800 I would rather score almost 2x the points than flips (which seem to take longer) or 4x the points of holding a tabletop.

Yes. The truck comes at ~3:35 and at ~3:22. If you miss the truck at 3:35 (I don't think you can get to it, but I was able to catch a truck without stopping once after it had left the stop). This will send you over both ramps to the right. Then you can jump duck through two pipes, jump the ramp the wrong way to get the pipe to the right of it. Loop around and get the ramp you skipped, then take the long path past the barricades. I think I can shave off an additional 10 seconds or so if it didn't collide with something. As to the Motor Rodeo exploit, I call this one Infinite collapsing ramp exploit. All you need to do is slowly ascend the collapsing ramp until you are close to the right hand side. Your score will begin to increase by 25 point increments. Then when the ramp goes to vertical, it throws you backwards (you can also score 5 points for landing on your tires). Video below. Regarding my 39,100 score for California Games (BMX). I don't know if this should qualify as an exploit, but I got that score using tabletops instead of flips. The instruction manual says that you score a variable amount of points for a tabletop based upon how long you hold down. I press and release down, which seems to score you the same as performing a flip (i.e. a single flip scores 300, a quick table top scores 300. A double flip scores 1000, a double tabletop scores 1000, a triple flip (supposedly scores 1800, but I cannot do it) a triple tabletop scores 1800). So, is this an exploit?

It was more of a question of how to proceed about details of the exploit. Should I post a video and describe how to accomplish the exploit, or do we want security through obscurity? The other exploit is in MotorRodeo. Still working on details for how to pull it off (and for clarification, the 1455 score above doesn't abuse the technique. With the technique I was able to score 1700+ before the first half of the race.)

Toonces look out.

Taking back first place. MotoRodeo - 1455 Skate Boardin' - 0 Obstacles left/ 2:24 Remaining Calfornia Games (BMX) - 39,100 Additionally, I would like to point out what I assume everyone would consider an exploit. You actually can perform a tabletop (worth 300 points) on flat ground. The technique I have used to pull it off is to jump first (to orient your bike sprite above the mountain background, then immediately after you hit the ground tap jump and down then release (you can actually hold backwards to brake to slow your descent down the mountain). I am not perfect with the technique, but using it I scored 65,990 points. I think using that technique goes against the spirit of the game. I have included a video below illustrating the technique. (Also, how do we usually handle what someone thinks is an exploit? Should I reveal the technique like I did below? Another exploit exists, and I want to know how to proceed)

I don't know if you can tabletop on the ground, but plan to launch stellas debugger for a frame by frame analysis.

Jason_Atari discovered the 10,000 bonus for not falling, and did an impressive 40k run. Well done. This game will play itself since the course is downhill. Just press the fire button, and gravity will score you 13k. Also testing a theory that you can tabletop on flat ground to score 300 points (you might need a slight declination to the mountain, but this could rack up huge points even without a perfect run). Edit: Nope, you cannot tabletop on flat land. You need a couple of pixels below you before you land. Double Edit: Actually, an exploit does exist. Details to come.

This is a PAL game, so unless your monitor/TV can do 50 Hz, it isn't the cart that is the issue. And just so everyone knows, it is very important to be able to do a wheelie (Hold Down, you can also hold forward/back at the same time as down). The wheelie allows you to run up walls and collect white 50 point markers, and knock down the brick walls for 20 points to boot. This isn't my high score run, but does give you an idea where you can flip your bike to score points. Still working on a great run (this one has 8+ mistakes), but it takes about 5-10 tries to get a decent run in that scores 34k+. Here's a map as well.

California Games (BMX) - 34,210 StanJr has got me working to place first. I am going to need to do some major studying of the Skate Boardin' map to beat 2:10.

Perhaps you selected Computer versus Computer?

NIKON, Complete means all 30 obstacles complete, 0 obstacles left. StanJr, myself and others haven't been posting that we have 0 obstacles left, because we assumed with the map above that most people would be posting scores with all obstacles completed.

StanJr, you sure you selected Easy level? The reason why I ask is that the computer score is 1830. That score is within the range that I usually see for Medium difficulty. Slight improvement in my own score. MotoRodeo - 1,025 Not real scores below. For Medium and Hard difficulty.

That is an impressive score for not understanding the game. Here's the rules, and scoring. http://atariage.com/manual_html_page.html?SoftwareLabelID=314 Scoring Landing upright and flat from a jump ..................... 5 Each time you hit a wall ................................. 10 Each time you crush a car ................................ 20 Bouncing on trucks tires on the platform ................. 25 Jumping to a collapsing ramp ............................. 25 Touching 50 on the screen ................................ 50 Finishing the track first ............................... 100

MotoRodeo - 890 Skate Boardin' - 1:15 California Games (BMX) - 24,060 I know I can score better than these, this is just to get on the board.
