Open My stages →How to play
How do I control the bike?
Keyboard: W accelerates, A/D steer and S brakes (front brake in separate-brake mode). B applies the rear brake. Arrow keys move weight and lean. C is clutch, Space changes stance or charges a Trials hop, V changes camera, and Esc or P pauses. On touch, use Gas, Brake and the steering pad; Touch setup offers Stick, Slider and Tilt. Keyboard and controller remapping are in Settings. Choose primary and alternate keys; used keys swap. Esc always remains available.
Controls & touch setup →How do I read a roadbook?
Read distance first, then the tulip and CAP. The tulip’s dot is where you enter the junction; its arrow is your exit. CAP is a compass heading in degrees. Match the actual ground and tripmeter to the note before committing. Browsing the book does not move the bike or complete a waypoint.
Open the symbol guide →Can I practise the controls and stunts?
Riding school has 19 replayable stages for keyboard, phone and controller, from gentle throttle and separate brakes to slides, wheelies, scrapes, jumps and HUD setup. Tasks advance when you perform them. Retry freely with a supplied training bike.
Open playable riding school →How do I wheelie and land safely?
In Jam, hold J or Wheelie to reach or catch balance with Guard or No guard. Below 35% gas, release to float naturally; hold clutch to coast. Scroll adjusts the W throttle cap, and Settings or Pause offers adjustable opening/closing travel. For manual lifting, shift weight back and add throttle; a revved clutch release can help lift the front. Balance with small throttle changes and weight corrections. Tap B (Rear in separate touch mode) to lower the front. Too much power can loop the bike. Challenge attempts need the stated assistance level and a controlled landing.
Check bike goals →How do I jump, whip or hop?
Approach a ramp straight. In the air, W or Gas tilts back (nose up); S or any brake tilts forward (nose down). Centre weight and the bike gently aligns for landing, without changing the jump path. Hold weight for deliberate flips. Steering makes a whip; release to tuck back in. On a Trials bike, hold Space or Hop to preload and release to hop.
Check your controls →How do I recover, pause or change camera?
Esc/P or the pause button opens the ride menu. Its Settings tab opens the full panel without leaving your ride. V changes camera on keyboard; phone riders use Camera in Menu. After a crash use R or Remount now. In supported solo practice, Track resets to the route and Map gives extra help. Recovery and maps are restricted in races; Festival recovery returns you to the last cleared gate without resetting the clock.
Read navigation recovery advice →How do I unlock and customise bikes?
Garage shows each bike’s exact requirements and progress. Depending on the bike, points, lessons or a riding challenge can unlock it. Some bikes require specific manual stunts. You can track two goals from Garage or Achievements. Paint and tuning are saved for your owned bikes; a stock try-out does not grant ownership.
Open Garage →Frequently asked questions
Can I change keyboard controls while riding?
Yes. Pause, open Settings and expand Keyboard bindings. Select a primary or alternate key, then press its replacement. Esc cancels capture and always works as Pause/Back. Reset keyboard bindings restores the defaults. Changes save on this device; resume the same ride to use them.
What can I spend points on?
Garage offers bikes, permanent rider kits, helmets, boots and packs, plus three levels of engine or motor, gearing, suspension, tyre and lightweight upgrades for each bike. Preview gear free in Gear shop. Performance parts work in solo free rides, Jam, lessons and custom practice. Leaderboard stages, multiplayer and ghost races use standard performance. Free colours and ride setup stay available.
Where should I start?
Try lesson 1 if you are new to roadbooks. For riding controls, start a Desert free ride and practise accelerating, braking and turning. Navigator trainer lets you study without riding at the same time.
Why did a ride not earn points or complete a goal?
Recovered practice, borrowed test bikes and assisted runs have scoring restrictions. Manual challenges also check the bike, assistance setting and safe finish. Read the exact requirement in Garage or Achievements; progress may only count after a controlled landing.
Does Trials park unlock the Trials bike?
No. The quarry supplies a stock Trials 300 for practice. Your owned bikes and normal Garage selection are preserved when you leave. Check Garage for the unlock requirements.
Why can’t I see a friend’s room?
Only Public rooms appear in Live lobbies. For an Invite-only room, use its link or code. Check that both riders are connected and that the host has kept the room open. Refresh the list if a Public room has just been created.
Does the game work offline?
The browser app can work offline after its assets have been saved; let the first load finish while connected. The Windows app bundles solo content. Multiplayer needs a connection to the racing service. Optional media may still need to download first.
Where is my progress saved?
Browser progress is stored locally for the current profile. Account and sync status are shown in Settings. The Windows app uses separate local saves. Check sync status before changing devices, and keep a save backup before clearing browser data.
How do I switch light or dark mode?
Use the theme buttons in the top bar or Settings → Display & scenery. System follows your device preference. Your selection is remembered in this browser. Riding instruments keep their high-contrast dark surfaces.
Can I see the first-time guides again?
Yes. Open Help & FAQ from the top bar or Home. Every mode guide remains here after you dismiss it. You can also show the first-time tips again using the button below.
The game is slow or controls feel awkward. What should I change?
Open Settings to lower graphics quality and tune your controls. On a phone, try landscape, then choose Stick, Slider or Tilt in Touch setup. Close other demanding tabs. Pause before changing your riding setup.
