A collection of four games that has you riding a BMX bike, surfing, skating in a half-pipe, or hitting a foot bag. The goal is to gain the most points by performing tricks.

8 Although it's a stripped down version of the computer game, the games that are there are fun. I don't normally like games where the primary goal is a higher score, but for these games it makes them very addictive. The half-pipe is brutal but surfing and BMX make up for it.
