This Free Rider HD track all started when I was riding bikes with Aaron LaRocque (Mind Spark Cinema) and he told me Scott Secco was working on his new film, Builder. A couple years ago I created a track with Aaron for his video of Dean Tennant called Higher Calling and the response was so awesome that I really wanted to do another one. I spoke with Scott and I was stoked after watching some of Macduff's footage that I knew right away that I had to create a Free Rider HD track based on this section. Free Rider HD was developed by One More Level and Kano Apps (where I work as a concept artist). Since I love drawing and riding bikes, I had to make this happen. I had a chance to use the new drawing tools in the Free Rider track editor, which made it easy for me to draw all of Macduff's crazy builds!

AND DUFFY WEARS A HELMET! Don't you know it's not good to promote not wearing a helmet while you ride? The guy in the game's just wearing a hat! FAIL!!!!! I don't want my kids playing this crap!!! What kind of example do you think you're setting here anyway? DO YOU EVEN FRICKIN' CARE!!!!! O.O
freeride-forever - you can buy a helmet in the store, hopefully most kids can distinguish a stickman game from real life riding.
To each their own but Free Rider has long been used in classrooms all over the world as a learning tool. Teachers have found that creating tracks has a strong link to programming logic, develops persistence, and provides a fun environment to put basic science principles to use. So if you can overlook the default hat and selection of headgear your kids could be learning stuff while playing a game.
this is so rad. I highly recommend that anyone who hasn't bought builder yet does. Definitely one of the best mountain bike movies to come out in a long time.
UGH!!!! The world we live in!!!! >:-(
Highly addictive..
