BMX KIDZ © Gigglywurx Spectrum/Amstrad conversion by Zeit Corp. PLAYING THE GAME ---------------- You have to come in the top three order to for the next race. You must also perform wheelies and stunts, the number of which is shown on the track information at the start of each race. Do wheelies by pressing and holding fire whilst on a flat surface. Do stunts by rotating your bike in mid air, after a jump, so that the front wheel is high, then pressing fire, the rotating the bike so that it lands flat to the ground - if you don't land correctly, it will not count. Practice makes perfect! Press fire whilst on an upward slope to jump. You must collect the cans of pop for energy, the more you have the faster you can go. Collisions with other bikes cause you to lose spokes, collect the wheels to repair them! If you run out of energy or spokes, you'll come a cropper!
