Hill Climb Racing - Wikipedia[^1^]



The PSP version has some subtle differences from the main console versions, including fine-tuning of the game mechanics and alterations that make racing on the PSP easier. A new track featuring all three docks in one lap appears as a PSP only level too.

Back in 1998, Microsoft's Motocross Madness for the PC was the epitome of motocross racing on any platform. Developed by relative newcomer Rainbow Studios, the game featured sharp visuals for its time and amusing ragdoll player physics that kept me glued to my monitor for months. No other motocross game, from Excitebike 64 to Jeremy McGrath's Supercross, could replicate that same feeling for me. In early 2001, a new title hit the market that transferred the feeling of Motocross Madness to an entirely different off-road vehicle. ATV Offroad Fury for the PlayStation 2 was an unexpected hit, and another great reason to buy Sony's new console. Of course, it was yet another quality off-road racer developed by Rainbow Studios.


There are a dozen total game types, mainly split up between racing and freestyle competitions. Supercross, Nationals, and Short Track are the more straightforward types of racing, though there are a handful of other options available. I had a lot of fun with the Waypoint races, which find you speeding from gate to gate around a wide-open course. On the other hand, the self-explanatory Hill Climb races were excruciatingly dull. It is a mixed bag, but the majority of the races provided a good time. I did not enjoy the freestyle competitions quite as much, as executing more than one trick before landing can be quite difficult. It takes a lot of practice to become skilled at pulling off combos in MX vs. ATV: On the Edge. With over 180 total competitions, the game features a staggering amount of content.


Meet Newton Bill, the young aspiring uphill racer. He is about to embark on a journey that takes him to where no ride has ever been before. With little respect to the laws of physics, Newton Bill will not rest until he has conquered the highest hills up on the moon!


If it weren't for the lack of career mode and the awful loading times, MX vs ATV could have been a decent racing game. I would have had no problem with some downgraded graphics if it meant I'd get to actually race quicker.


Introduction to Outdoor Pursuits (KINES 1/ RPTM 1) is a course that is designed to introduce the student to selected outdoor pursuit activities. The selected activities will depend on the time of the year and availability of resources. The activities could include but are not limited trail day hiking, mountain biking, backpacking, orienteering, kayaking, canoeing, cross country skiing, or to rock climbing experiences. All selected activities will follow the same basic format of skill development and training procedures, history and philosophical underpinnings of the activity, available written resources and professional organizations related to the activity, logistical equipment preparation, appreciation of environmental impact of partaking in the selected activity, safety management / risk assessment and future opportunities to participate in the activity. It is a purpose of this course to allow the student to explore different outdoor pursuit activities and then to make a more informed decision as to which activities they might choose to further develop their skill base and competency necessary to partake in the activity at a more advanced level on a life long basis. Through opportunities to develop camaraderie through collaborative work/ teamwork, students practice safe participation in the selected activities with attention to environmental impact. Students will experience a common skill base from which to engage in the activities. After completion of the course, students are encouraged to engage in adventure recreation programs, and other appropriate courses to help with the continued development of life skills. This course fulfills credits toward the GHW General Education requirement.

KINES 10 is a course designed to give students a comprehensive introduction to the skills, safety, terminology and equipment used in the sport and recreational activity of rock climbing. This course also provides the knowledge base and experience the student needs to evaluate their continued safe participation in rock climbing. There is an emphasis on belaying, technical systems, use and selection of equipment, climbing technique, and the metaphorical and psychological aspects of climbing. Students learn and practice proper physical aspects of climbing focusing on foundational training and conditioning through cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility movements. Important information on training, safety issues, injury prevention and treatment, and gaining appreciation for conservation and preservation of resources are included in the course. The rock climbing surface provides a conduit to promote lifelong wellness by engaging the entire body and mind to be physically challenged and mentally stimulated. Rock climbing challenges the participant to take risks, to work with others to solve problems and make informed decisions, and to learn to trust in partners. Students may be exposed to a wide range of climbing opportunities including indoor and/or outdoor experiences. In this course, students practice responsibility, cooperation, and collaborative skills. Teamwork and communication are essential components to the success of the student; students typically work together as climber, belayer (method of securing a climiber by the use of a rope), and observer. The group connection is dependent on building communication and trust. Students provide constructive feedback and positive encouragement to one another during climbs.


Kinesiology 10A is designed to give students a comprehensive introduction to the skills, safety, terminology and equipment used in the activity of lead rock climbing. Lead climbing involves the climber placing protection to protect oneself as opposed to top roping (KINES 10). This course also provides the knowledge base and experience the student needs to evaluate their continued safe participation in lead rock climbing including a strong group work ethic and practicing the responsibility, cooperation, and collaborative skills needed for safety in lead rock climbing. In Lead Rock Climbing, students are introduced to advanced climbing techniques such as: footwork, hand holds, and body positions and benefit from immediate encouragement and assessment from the group. Lead climbing challenges the climber to be more critically aware of making good decisions in clipping, route choice and direction, back-stepping if necessary, body positions, equipment use, and safety. This class delves more deeply into issues of kinesthetic awareness of the climber's relationship to the climbing surface and to gravitational forces when climbing. Students learn and practice proper physical aspects of climbing focusing on foundational training and conditioning through cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility movements. Important information on training practices, safety issues, injury prevention and treatment, and understanding the climbing environment are important aspects of the course. The climbing surface provides a conduit to promote lifelong wellness by engaging in the entire body and mind to be physically challenged and mentally stimulated. Rock climbing challenges the participant to take risks, to work with others to solve problems and to make informed decisions. Students may be exposed to a wide range of climbing opportunities including indoor and/or outdoor experiences including bouldering and more advanced rock climbing techniques.


KINES 11 is designed to help students build overall fitness and wellness based in winter snowsports, specifically downhill skiing. Students acquire the knowledge and critical thinking skills that are essential to the development and continual evolution of a fitness and wellness plan focused on a healthy and active lifestyle that includes cold weather exercise. Students explore such topics as wellness, training principles, cold weather injury and illness prevention and management, and proper mechanics to promote safety and success on snow. Downhill skiing is a popular recreational physical activity in a global market. The early days of skiing in the United States were typified by a variety of styles and techniques, many of which were brought to this country by European ski instructors. As the equipment and the snowmaking capabilities change, these changes are translated into adapting techniques for successful skiing. Downhill skiing can be performed across all ages and skill levels; in KINES 11, students are grouped appropriately by ability, so all students can be challenged individually on snow. If done properly, downhill skiing will promote comprehensive wellness while developing important life-long motor skills. Ultimately students will learn the benefits of downhill skiing as a lifetime activity for health and wellness. 2ff7e9595c
