Free Mad Skills Motocross 3 game! https://www.motoheadmag.com/free-mad-skills-motocross-3-game/ Wed, 26 May 2021 10:57:43 +0000 http://www.motoheadmag.com/?p=30427 Swedish game developer Turborilla AB has announced the global release of Mad Skills Motocross 3, available now for free download on the App Store and Google Play. The highly anticipated mobile game is next in a franchise that has seen more than 55 million installs on iOS and Android devices.

Mad Skills Motocross 3 improves upon its predecessors with vastly improved 3D art, new online championship and multiplayer events, more realistic bikes with upgradeable parts, bike sounds that were recorded on a real motocross track, and a massive selection of customization options.

Motorcycle physics in the game were upgraded to be even more responsive and to include “whips,” a kind of aerial maneuver that is often considered the ultimate display of style in motocross racing. The physics were dialed in with the help of a beta team composed mostly of actual motocross racers. 

The Mad Skills Motocross franchise has risen to prominence partially because of its strong reputation in real-life motocross and action sports. Although in many ways it’s an arcade-style side-scrolling racing game, the game features elements of physics realism that strongly appeal to motocross racers and enthusiasts.

If you’re looking for the best mobile motocross game there is, just get Mad Skills Motocross 3,” said Justin Cooper, a professional racer who recently won the 250 West Supercross championship in the United States. Cooper is also one of the best Mad Skills Motocross 2 players in the world, having qualified for the game’s World Championship event in Stockholm in 2017. He was one of only twelve players in the world to do so.

The game’s May 25 release was announced with a trailer that some reviewers have referred to as the best video game trailer ever made. The trailer was produced by Denmark-based IMOV Studios.

We’re so excited to finally release Mad Skills Motocross 3,” said Turborilla CEO Mattias Wiking. “The Mad Skills Motocross franchise is the cornerstone of our company, and I think this is the best game we’ve ever made. We can’t wait to gather feedback from our players and begin the journey of expanding the game with new ideas and content through the coming years.

The highly addicting side-scrolling racing sequel is next up in a franchise that has seen more than 55 million mobile downloads and has become a part of the culture of global action sports. The new release carries on the franchise’s tradition of featuring the best racing physics on the market, but improves the player experience with significantly upgraded 3D graphics, regularly scheduled online championship events, realistic bikes with upgradeable parts, and infinitely more rider and motorcycle customization options.


“We’ve been working on this game for a long time, consulting with gamers and real motocross racers along the way, and we’re really proud of the game we’re about to release,” said Turborilla CEO Mattias Wiking. “We think it’s an upgrade on our previous games in every way, but at the same time, we see the release as a starting point in a long journey. We’ll continue listening to player feedback and updating Mad Skills Motocross 3 with more content for years to come.”

Mad Skills Motocross 3, which is being launched with support from Arctic Game Lab, will be released with hundreds of expertly designed tracks, engaging player challenges, and soon after launch, clan-style teams that will take social gameplay in the franchise to another level. Customization options will include both real-life and fantasy brands, satisfying motocross enthusiasts and casual players alike.

Intense MX e-MTB hits the market https://www.motoheadmag.com/intense-mx-e-mtb-hits-the-market/ Mon, 01 Feb 2021 07:04:00 +0000 http://www.motoheadmag.com/?p=28338 It’s the ultimate MX-inspired e-Mountain Bike, with Ohlins suspension plus components from Renthal, ODI and Magura, and the company is part-owned by Ryan Dungey. It’s the Intense Tazer MX and you’ll be able to get hold of one very soon.

PARTS EUROPE has announced a new partnership with INTENSE Europe to exclusively distribute the Tazer MX PRO eMTB throughout Europe. The new partnership is based on an already existing collaboration between INTENSE and parent company LeMans Corporation/Parts Unlimited in North America that started in October 2020.

“Having seen the success in North America we couldn’t be happier to bring the Tazer MX to Europe with such a strong partner. We are truly stoked to offer a MX specific eBike to the powersports customer backed by Parts Europe’s unrivaled service,” said Werner Kastenauer, INTENSE Europe Managing Director.

PARTS EUROPE will offer this new top quality Tazer MX Pro eMTB exclusively to a selected number of powersports dealers who would like to develop their way into the eBicycle/eMTB world and to powersports dealers who are working already with e bicycles.

“We are fully committed and dedicated to support the participating powersports dealers with the same reliable service they already experience in the motorcycle and ATV business”, says Anthony Damevin, Purchasing Manager of PARTS EUROPE.

INTENSE’s roots run deep in the world of mountain biking, but they have also been shaped by the MX scene since the very beginning of the brand. In fact INTENSE founder and CEO Jeff Steber’s original designs back in the early 1990s were heavily influenced by his knowledge and love of MX bikes.

Well-known names like Mike Metzger (the Godfather of FMX), Jeff Emig and Shaun Palmer were all part of INTENSE’s story in the early days. In more recent times there is of course INTENSE Factory Racing’s Aaron Gwin (a former MX racer) and INTENSE co-owner and 4x Supercross and 3x Motocross National Champ Ryan Dungey. MX has always been respected and influential at INTENSE.

The pedal-assist Tazer MX PRO is based on the successful 155mm rear travel Tazer eBike, but what sets the MX model apart is its MX inspired component package that will be easily recognisable to any MX fan. The Tazer MX PRO features products from the likes of Öhlins, Renthal, Magura and ODI… all huge names in the world of MX. Add to that seamless pedal to power transfer via SHIMANO’s awesome new EP8 motor and drivetrain, and other top components from the likes of DT Swiss, Cane Creek and SDG and you have a super high quality build. The Öhlins TTX22M coil shock and DH38 170mm triple clamp fork help to complete the MX look and feel.
